Seeker1950,

There was a really nice write up about the founder of eharmony in Readers Digest this month. My cousin also met her husband on eharmony. I scoffed at the time.

I guess I'm a little old fashioned. When my husband was in the military we'd see people meet, marry and divorce all within a matter of months. I could understand how you could marry someone you just met. I am also of the firm belief (*ducks to miss swing*) you cannot meet your partner in a bar. I've never seen anything good coming from a relationship that started in a bar.

BUT I have to say that my cousin has been with the man she met through eharmony for several years. They've been married for three years and seem like a really good fit. They're young and have already gone through some of the big things that would break a weaker couple up. Her mother is manipulative and psychotic and she went and stayed with them from Thanksgiving until after New Year's. The mom did everything she could to break them up and they're still together. That combined with the fact that he was able to endure the woman in his house with a smile on his face because she is his MIL tells me that man is a keeper.

Maybe the next man will be better. You have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince. Good Luck!
