eHarmony

"The selection you make of a marriage partner has more to do with the success of your marriage than everything you do combined after getting married."

In August, 2000, Dr. Neil Clark Warren created the online matchmaking service, eHarmony, after three decades of relationship counseling and research. In treating over 4,000 married people, he came to realize that most failed marriages were doomed from the start because of incompatibility. "Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that most failed marriages were in deep trouble the day they began. More technically, the poor selection of a mate is undoubtedly the most critical factor in producing our national divorce epidemic," says Dr. Warren. With the launch of eHarmony.com, Dr. Warren sought to open up the power of his research-based counsel to singles seeking committed and lasting relationships.

Scientific research has shown that picking the right person is the best way to achieve a great relationship. But how do you make a great choice in a bar, church event, or party, where appearance and small talk is really all you have to go on? Using the internet, eHarmony is able to learn about its members from the inside out and match them based on deep, meaningful characteristics. First, the detailed questionnaire measures the intricate facets of a person, including the 29 Dimensions (see below) that are most important in relationship success. The service then matches compatible singles who have the best chance of making great relationship partners. And to improve the chances of success even more, eHarmony guides these matches as they get to know each other with a uniquely guided communication process. With the help of eHarmony's compatibility matching and communication guidance, members can quickly find a "soul-mate," instead of just struggling through endless dates that lead nowhere.

To date, eHarmony has enjoyed - and helped its members to enjoy - outstanding success. With over hundreds of thousands of members, eHarmony has created matches that have resulted in hundreds of marriages, and thousands of relationships that are going strong.

eHarmony is passionate about helping people create successful, long-lasting relationships. That's why Dr. Warren put so much effort into the scientific matching process and personal customer service.
