eHarmony.com was established in 2000 by Dr. Neil Clark Warren, an evangelical Christian, and heavily promoted on James Dobson’s Focus on the Family radio show. This relationship continued until 2005, when eHarmony.com sought to publicly distance itself from Dobson’s group in order to increase its public appeal.

eHarmony.com is intended for the estimated 20% of online daters seeking a long term relationship. It is with this goal in mind, and based on his claims of 35 years’ research into successful marriages, that Dr. Warren established his 436 part profile (plus fields for additional information if desired), which collects information on age, ethnicity, religious affiliation, previous marital status and family status.

Unlike many other online dating services, users are not allowed to browse profiles and make their own selections. Instead, eHarmony will arrange the potential matches. This is designed to make users rely on the scientific method and eliminate elements of human error. In early 2006, eHarmony unveiled its marriage program, designed to assist married couples in strengthening or repairing their marriage. This is similar in many ways to the singles program, except that the couple each takes a personality questionnaire covering such topics as romance, sex and communication. There is also a 12 video series available, addressing common marriage issues.
