During a recent forum coordinated by prominent community leaders, it was suggested that while most married couples wish for marital bliss for their single friends, not enough are proactively enabling new matches. While there are many viable justifications for this omission, this important initiative is one of the simplest and most rewarding things that couples can do to establish their homes with acts of kindness.

With this in mind, FutureSimchas.com encourages married men and women in Jewish communities in the US and throughout the world to undertake a goal of introducing at least one unmarried friend to a potential suitor per month.

Sure, there are many professionals and organizations that attempt to facilitate new meetings, but there is no substitute for what can be accomplished by "friends with friends."

1. Stay in touch with your single friends and ask what they are looking for in a spouse.

2. Brainstorm with other couples.

3. Coordinate a singles mixer in your area.

4. Encourage your single friends to get out there. Assure them that there is nothing wrong with joining a dating site, meeting with a matchmaker, or reminding others that they are dating.

5. Challenge your single friends to suggest someone they'd like to meet.

6. Think out of the box.

7. Invite unmarried friends to meals and functions to encourage socialization.

8. Don't nix a potential shidduch because you 'don't see it'. One never knows.

9. Encourage your single friends by sharing the "reality" of your dating and marriage experiences with them. Relationships require hard work. Nothing is perfect.

10. Forward this link to all your married friends.
