Christian Dating Services: A Review of eHarmony

Dave Pipitone

When you are considering which Christian dating services to join, the first thing you need to ask yourself is, "What do I want to accomplish and how quickly?" There is no dating website that will guarantee that a Christian man or woman will sweep you off your feet. You need to take action and participate. That means if you join more than one dating service, you should have the time and energy to make the most of your memberships. One of the biggest causes of failure is not taking the time to use your membership and the services the Christian dating site provides.

So, which dating sites should you explore and why should you consider them? Let's a leading Christian relationship site to give you a head start in learning how it which might serve you.

eHarmony.com was started by Dr. Neil Warren Clark in the year 2000. Dr. Clark is a well-known psychologist and relationship expert who transformed the online Christian dating experience. Instead of focusing only on searching, he invented a personality profile that matches people with a high degree of compatibility. The process helps you eliminate millions of candidates who don't fit your personality. That means that you can concentrate on a much smaller group of singles that you are more compatible with. eHarmony matches your compatibility in areas of 29 dimensions, including character, intellect, values, spiritual beliefs, sense of humor, passion, and up to 24 other factors.

eHarmony's compatibility profile is based on scientific study of the factors that are essential for long-term relationships. You begin by completing a 436 questionnaire that identifies your core traits like adaptability, curiosity and intellect; your feelings about children and spirituality; and relationship skills, including conflict resolution.

Once you've complete the survey and review the results, you are eligible for receiving matches that are highly compatible with your answers. Think of it this way, if a number of other people have invested their time, money and energy to go through the same process, won't they be committed to finding a soul mate, too? That means you can be confident of the commitment and character of other people you will be meeting.

Another service that eHarmony offers is a Guided Communication process that lets you break the ice with your matches. This feature gives you five multiple choice questions that help you build rapport and start the conversation. eHarmony helps you develop a personal "shopping list" of "Must Haves" and "Can't Stands" so that you can avoid relationships that are "arguments waiting to happen." This allows you to be real and explore issues during the dating process that, if unanticipated, could sabotage a long-term relationship.

If you are really serious about finding someone that you can spend your life with, you want to base your relationship on a solid, rock-hard foundation. If you are just looking to date and have fun, eHarmony probably isn't for you. It costs more to join and it takes more time to pursue. The results speak for themselves, the eHarmony.com website claims on average that 90 eHarmony members get married every single day, based on a Harris Interactive study conducted in fall, 2005.

eHarmony is one of the leading Christian dating services available on the Internet for those Christian singles who are serious about finding a soul mate.
