You have more chances to find your future husband through a marriage agency than through a newspaper. You sign a contract with a marriage agency for one year. You pay $50 and receive the access to a card file. Terms of the marriage agency are the same both for men and women - married people can't use the services of a marriage agency.
To tell the truth, men have more chances to find a partner though a marriage agency because if they like some profiles of girls they can call them without any hesitation. However I consider it indecent for a woman to call some man herself. In this case it is necessary to ask the staff of the marriage agency to arrange a meeting.
Your profile will be kept in the database of the marriage agency for twelve months. However it is not guaranteed that they will be able to find a partner for you for this period of time. Besides, they usually exaggerate the advantages of their clients; the clients used to conceal the information about their previous marriage, children and divorces.
