It is interesting that on the eve of St.Valentine’s Day — on the 12th of February — there is one more holiday — the international day of marriage agencies (International Day of Marriage Agencies)is celebrated.
The holiday was registered by State Department of Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine on December the 1st, 2010. The idea of the new holiday, is belonging to one Ukrainian marriage agency, but many partner -agencies of different countries such as USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland picked up.
Back to the history, the first marriage agency was opened more than 360 years ago! It was the ” Office of Addresses and Encounters ” in
Threadneedle Street, London on September the 29th, 1650 -historically documented first dating service. The owner of this marriage agency was Henry Robinson (c. 1604 – c. 1664) – an English merchant and writer. While travelling around Holland Henry was impressed by by the freedom of inhabitants of that country and their traditions. So he had a decision to open the dating service.
Alas, Robinson’s marriage agency was closed in a year as the actions of his office were contradicting the law. The concrete claims were exposed to the questions in the clients’ profiles. They were about the way people obtain the income, about the size of the property, about real estate existence. This was accepted as an attack on private life secrets.
When the dating service was closed, Henry did not stop to help people and opened a shelter for beggars. But the question is” how many couples could unite under enterprising Henry’s wing?!” if the authorities did not accuse him so unfairly!!!!
Since the search of the spouse via announcement or via dating services became very popular. Every year the number of clients of marriage agencies increases,and most of them are searching their halves in different countries with the help of websites as MyPartnerForever. Our marriage agency remains popular, especially for those who hope to marry a foreigner. Nowadays people are too busy with work and earning money and have no time to go out to find their mates – they used to do it online.
So MyPartnerForever is as a beacon, which helps lonely people to find their wives and husbands. Hundreds of couples with gratitude can say that they found the chance to love and be loved and create a family with our help!
