About eHarmony

eHarmony was first launched in 2000 in the United States, but its founders began their research three years earlier in 1997. It is distinguished from other online dating sites by its reputation for finding matches and companions for people based on clinical research.

It has since evolved into the Internet’s number one dating website, and is available in Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada. After years of counseling married couples, Dr. Neil Clark Warren determined that there seemed to be documented evidence to show that differences between people in a relationship could result in their demise. Core differences in compatibility were unable to be overcome in many cases he counseled.  

He also noted that these differences found in relationships were just as credible as those who were in fulfilling, long-lasting relationships showing compatibility traits. Thus, he set out to determine if there were particular, tangible characteristics that could truly define a winning union between people.  

He was joined by a research professor and colleague, Dr. Galen Buckwalter, and they collaborated to determine a set of core personality traits and attitudes that can potentially create long-term, successful, positive relationships.  

By establishing these values and key attributes, these gentlemen have revolutionized online dating and have set themselves apart from other online dating organizations by using a formulaic approach. Their patented program known as the Compatibility Matching System® is how eHarmony operates and matches singles looking for quality companionship.  

The Compatibility Matching System allows people to be matched with others who share more than just common interests, but values and a hosts of other key relationship areas. eHarmony has matched successfully all kinds of people of all different ages, ethnicities, national origins, religious and political beliefs.  

The commitment continues with Dr. Buckwalter at the helm of research and development and keeps the matching criterion updated and relevant to the needs of modern people, both internationally and in the United States. Dr. Neil Clark Warren acts as Chairman of the Board and business advisor to eHarmony. Their active involvement eHarmony is the cornerstone for its success in matching people based on more than just common interests.
