Dating is a totally modern innovation in human relationships. Back in Biblical times all marriages were arranged by the various families in the clans of the local villages where the majority of the population lived. Marriages were viewed as more than just the uniting of a man and a woman (actually the participants were just getting used to the changes to their physiology caused by the onset of puberity at 12-14 years of age.) Clans and their relationships to each other within their own tribes were one of the major considerations when arranging marriages. The other big issue was property; what could the grooms family exchange for the bride's family loss of her labor? Someone would have to take on her share of the cooking, cleaning the tent, tending the vegetable garden and caring for the chickens, washing clothes and carrying water from the well three times a day. (Always accompanied by her brothers lest she be viewed by strange men.)

Dowery or the Bride Price was the term used to describe the exchange of property for the young woman's hand in marriage. How different things are today, maybe. in Beverly Hills, California a modern-day matchmaker, Orly Hadida, still plys her ancient trade. Instead of gathering at the water well to find out which family has a daughter ready for an arrangement, for which the matchmaker would receive a commission, Orly, The One And Only Matchmaker has her website.
