Arranged Marriages?
Brief answer to the question, "Is it true that traditionally, Jewish marriages were arranged marriages?" Discusses the use of a "shadchan" (matchmaker) who introduces the individuals, and how arranged Jewish marriages were not coerced. Includes links to related material about finding your soul mate, the Jewish wedding, and married life. From Chabad.org.
