Why eHarmony


eHarmony Australia is Different

At eHarmony the patented Compatibility Matching System™ narrows the field from millions of candidates to a highly select group of singles with whom you share deep levels of compatibility. Where other sites match on a picture and a paragraph, eHarmony matches you based on compatibility in the most important areas of life - like values, character, intellect, sense of humour, spiritual beliefs, passion, and other key dimensions.


Scientific Matching

Out of all the people you will meet in your life, only a very few would make a great relationship partner for you. Some aren't attractive to you. Others aren't ready for a relationship. Of the rest, many are great people who you might enjoy spending time with initially, but they aren't compatible with you in the important ways that make long term relationships work. That's where eHarmony starts. By combining the best scientific research with detailed profiling of every member, we screen thousands of profiles to bring you only the ones that have the potential to be truly right for you.

In studies of over 5,000 married couples, eHarmony founder Dr. Neil Clark Warren exhaustively researched what makes marriages succeed and fail. His findings? Chemistry is not enough. Almost all marriages start out with good chemistry, yet 3 out of 4 couples end up unhappy or divorced.*


By studying the difference between happy and unhappy married couples, Dr. Warren's team of researchers found combinations of Our Key Dimensions that help predict great relationships. These include:

  • Core traits like adaptability, curiosity, and intellect
  • Values and beliefs, such as spirituality and feelings about children
  • Relationship skills, such as conflict resolution


Our Compatibility Matching System™ matches you taking into account the 29 key dimensions that help predict compatibility and the potential for relationship success. The results are matches unlike anything you will find anywhere else. The process may take longer, and cost a little bit more than dating services, but eHarmony isn't about dating. Our goal is to help you find your soul mate. eHarmony is the most powerful system.

Our Key Dimensions
of Compatibility

Most people know that the key to success in a long-term relationship is compatibility. But what does that mean? If you both like foreign movies and Mocha ice cream, will you still feel the magic in 25 years?

eHarmony is the only relationship site on the web that creates compatible matches based on Our Key Dimensions scientifically proven to predict happier, healthier relationships. To help you better understand Our Key Dimensions, we've grouped them into Core Traits and Vital Attributes.

Core Traits are defining aspects of who you are that remain largely unchanged throughout your adult life. Vital Attributes are based on learning and experience, and are more likely to change based on life events and decisions you make as an adult.

These key areas paint a powerful portrait of who you are at the deepest level and form the basis for how our patented Compatibility Matching System™ finds singles that are truly right for you.

Expert Guidance

One of the greatest benefits of using eHarmony is the expert guidance that underlies everything we do. Founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren, renowned psychologist and relationship expert, eHarmony was designed to bring his more than 35 years of research to support you at every turn of the relationship building process.
