The following is excerpted from an online article posted by Christianity Today
For singles looking for love, opaque code that materializes potential partners without explanation increasingly seems like the only choice. Data shows that only about 15 percent of people find a romantic partner through their friends. About 10 percent meet at work or through coworkers. Almost nobody marries their high school sweetheart anymore, and vanishingly few marry someone they met in college. Church is one of the least common ways to connect. Only around 3 percent of Americans in a romantic relationship say they met at a religious event.
That leaves the internet, according to Stanford University sociologist Michael Rosenfeld, whose research tracked how couples met from 1940 to 2021.
That doesn’t mean singles are happy about their new matchmakers, though. And it doesn’t mean they believe the algorithms will find them love.
