Okay, so an average of 236 eHarmony members marry everyday and eHarmony has been around since the year 2000, according to this article on Wikipedia.

If that many people get married through eHarmony, then surely divorce must have happened to some EH couples by now. I know that the eHarmony matching process on the 29 dimensions is not perfect because it was invented by men and men are not perfect, so it must certainly have some flaws in it.

Of course, since EH has only been around about 9 years or so, many EH marriages may not have simply had enough time to run their course into an eventual divorce. So you know, I suppose the jury is still pretty much out on where the average divorce rate among EH married couples will eventually stabilize at some point. That means that only time will really be able to tell.

Still, has anyone here ever heard any stories of EH couples who eventually wound up filing for divorce or even in a Divorce Court?

Okay, okay, since you're clearly going to be obnoxiously persistent...

My best answer is... (insert drumroll here) ....


I DON'T CARE!!
Really, what difference does it make to you personally? Why do you want to know so badly? Will the knowledge change your life in any significant way? If not, then go read the local gossip pages about Hollywood divorces instead. They're just as relevant.

I plan to not get divorced, no matter where or how I meet my wife. I don't care how many other people are doing it - I'm not other people!

I know of one eH divorce. The marriage was between my ex and his eH girlfriend of about 6 months. He was on his 4th marriage and the courtships just kept getting shorter and shorter. Nothing eH could do was going to make him a good choice for somebody!

Maybe the fifth time's a charm.

Well, he is on number 5 right now. He didn't meet this one on eHarmony. All of his exes should have a reunion sometime!

Based on a little Google searching and if I did the math correctly then of the 3/4 million eHarmony couples supposedly married there should have been about 2,800 divorces.

What did you google that gave you that calculation? Does eHarmony keep track of their failures?

That's something I would like to know as well. I'm really curious about this, Gr8Guy.
