Faith-based online matchmaking sites are flourishing in...
Across the country, Christian, Jewish and Muslim online matchmaking sites are becoming increasingly popular and, apparently, successful.In the age of busy lives and big cities, Christians, Jews and Muslims are increasingly turning towards faith-oriented online matchmaking sites to meet their mates.
"For most people, the Web is as much a part of life as shopping," says Friedhelm Hensen, Jr., who launched his SingleChrist.de website in 2007.
Hensen's service, The Singles Site by Christians for Christians, reaches far more people than a regional newspaper's lonely hearts column ever does, say media experts.
In August this year, over 2 million people visited the site looking for a partner. Hensen says he is delighted when he receives a wedding announcement from a couple that has met through SingleChrist.de.
This happens about once a month, but the figure is probably higher because not all couples get around to informing him when they have found their life partner, he says.
Another Christian online matchmaking outlet, Christian Soulmates, provides an easy way for its members to meet other singles on the net. "We ask every user to fill out a questionnaire that will assist other users in getting to know you," it states. 
"Once members create their profiles, our matching technology can provide them with instantaneous matches based on their pre-selected dating criteria," explains an official.
"It's true Internet romances can and do happen,” their website proclaims. It goes on to add a cautionary note from the Bible (Romans 8:25): "But, if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
