eHarmony Dating Service
eHarmony dating service began in 2000, Dr Neil Clark Warren formed eHarmony after having spent over 30 years as a well known Christian family counselor. eHarmony Relationship Service allows free reviews of your matches,
and is billed as the top Christian dating services in helping put together highly compatible, lasting relationships.
How eHarmony Became Popular
eHarmony is certainly not the first online matchmaking/dating service of its kind on the web, but it skyrocketed to popularity among Christian Singles after Warren appeared on Dr. James Dobson’s “Focus on the Family” radio show. eHarmony now has hundreds of thousands of members, and a Harris Interactive poll found that over 33,000 e-Harmony users were married between August 2004 and August 2005. This is a very cool statistic, and eHarmony has similar stats for 2006.
How eHarmony Works
The first step is to complete the eHarmony Personality Profile, and then use their eHarmony matching system to begin finding your most compatible potential soul mates.
If you watch a lot of TV like me, you may have seen all those eHarmony personal ads about how you can take this eHarmony Relationship Questionnaire and Compatibility Profile. Well, several of our friends took the test and were surprised to find out interesting stuff about themselves. They were also impressed over receiving from eHarmony detailed descriptions of personality traits that would work best with theirs in creating a lifelong relationship.
Anyway, once you make your eHarmony profile, eHarmony uses its matchmaker software and lets you know your matches. You can basically communicate with your potential Christian single mate at a pace you feel most comfortable. However, if you are a little shy (like I was) “breaking the ice” with strangers, eHarmony even offers what they call their “Guided Communication Process” that helps you get to know that special person in a relaxed and laidback way.

I have tried all the dating sites out there.
Alright, not ALL of them. I will only go on Christian sites now too. I tried eharmony and was very disappointed. I hardly ever got matches, and there wasn’t a consistancy in the matches that I got. I mean, if I am going to spend that much money, that much time on filling out all their questions, at least they should send me matches that are “compatible”. I couldn’t believe that the three guys that I met, in person, were nothing alike. They were so different that I feel that the whole “personality profile” thing is a ineffective.
I have met some really great guys on mychristianlove.com and (before) I met a couple of nice (but not Christians, even though I was specific) on yahoo personals.
Good luck! i just don’t think that eharmony was worth it. P.S. Now, they are even getting away from the “Christian” title anyhow…..
eharmony should change it’s name to eHA because that’s what it is a big joke. What a ripoff Neil Clark Warren (always be wary of guys with three names)has perpetrated. I never actually got to meet anyone on eharmony while a member. As a mater of fact, I only received maybe 4 or 5 matches and most of those people didn’t have photographs. I received more matches as a FREE member than I did as a paying member. See the hook folks! Stay away from eharmony!
I know someone who also said she has received very few matches. I have the opposite problem, I recieved nearly 70 matches. I admit I’ve only been signed up for a couple weeks and so have not met anyone in person. I have noticed some common themes with my matches. The thing I have’t liked is the idea that everyone has a preferred age group that sets older men with younger women in general. My mother’s suggested age group overlaps mine and we both find that creepy. The other issue is that my matches were not warned that I was not a paying member yet so some were a bit perturbed when I didn’t respond immediately during the break between when I tried it and signed up. I didn’t know the site well enough to “turn off” matches. On the whole I like it better than choosing random people from Yahoo. I find I do have more in common with them tempermentally than others who just have similar interests. It’s been better than the $2000 ($10,000 original asking price) dating service my sister joined. I have to say that much. I would reccomend it, but know that it’s not perfect.
I’ve met some people who were successful with e-harmony. I actually got matched with a guy from my church, who I don’t actually get along with, but this site helped soften my attitude toward him. I would still recommend it to people regardless.
I have used several online dating sites, including several Christian sites and eHarmonyand for eHarmony it’s been several years now…
