기사 요약: 예전과 달리 결정사는 마지막 선택이 아니라, 안전한 만남 선호와 시간 효율 중시, 조건 기반 결혼 증가 등 사회적 변화가 맞물리며 결혼을 위한 하나의 전략적 선택지로 자리 잡았다.

[3] “Have you heard of the term ‘birds of a feather flock together’? Here, we help you meet the love of your life who is on the same wavelength as you — in background, goals and outlook on life,” she said, handing over a pamphlet highlighting the agency’s track record.

birds of a feather flock together: 끼리끼리

wavelength: 결이 맞는

background: 배경

outlook: (앞날에 대한) 전망
