OFFLINE IS BEST: Want to get married? It's best to try to find a mate the traditional way, according to recent research.

Despite the surging popularity of online dating, it may not be the best bet for those looking to marry, according to researchers at Michigan State University, East Lansing, who set out to explore how couples' meeting venues could play a role in the duration of the relationship. 

They examined married couples and couples that didn't last, working with 4,002 responses to a survey, the results of which suggest that online dating is less likely to lead to marriage.
