Are Marriages From Online Dating Happier?
ByABC4NEWS — About 20% of couples meet online today. The other more
traditional ways include meeting through friends, at school and at work.
Dr. Gonzaga is a senior research scientist at eHarmony whose life career is
to study the success of online dating. He goes as far as to say he thinks
online dating users will have a lower divorce rate in the future than those
who meet through other means. Dr. Gonzaga says eHarmony manages to set up
236 marriages a day simply because the survey matches ‘like with like.’
Contrary to the popular adage, the love doctor says, “opposites ‘do’
attract…but then, they attack.”
What was not mentioned is how many meet and don’t marry off of a dating service. The numbers on eharmony are skewed to a population that is mostly “christian” and has the similar values to start with. Anna
