My mother’s friend called her for advice for her friend who has four daughters in shidduchim. Since my mother has had various numbers of daughters in shidduchim for varying lengths of time, this woman thought my mother might have some insight into what her friend could “do differently” to help her daughters get married. My mother and I spoke afterwards and honestly, the only things we could really come up with were “keep davening” and “keep meeting new people.” I mean, sure, we could start digging — do they need therapy, do they need coaching, are they too shy, should they get makeovers? Or we could throw out names of shadchanim, or segulos (which have clearly been oh, so helpful in my case). But we all know it isn’t as simple as that. Sometimes there is no magic answer.
