*From the early 1930s to the 1950s most people would meet in church - considering it was still highly relevant for families in communities.*

*So the video is definitely wrong - and the same thing with nearly all couples meeting on the internet now - that's incorrect too - most physical-couples meet in the same cities and towns.*
