12 Million Registered Users Hail From All 50 States and More Than 200 Countries
PASADENA, Calif., Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ — When eHarmony, America’s #1 trusted relationship service, launched on August 22, 2000 the company became the first relationship service on the Web to use a scientific approach to match highly compatible singles. Six years and 12 million registered users later, more than 90 eHarmony members marry on average every day as a result of being matched on the site.* The 2005 eHarmony Study of Marriage in America has also showed that singles who were matched by eHarmony and later married are significantly happier than couples who met by any other means.
“When we launched eHarmony, the mission was to help reduce the divorce rate in the U.S. by 1%,” said Dr. Neil Clark Warren, founder of eHarmony. “We knew that if we could accomplish that mission we would affect the lives of one million people over the course of a generation. It’s overwhelming to think that 90 people marry every day because of eHarmony, but what’s most important to us is the quality and strength of these relationships.”
