eHarmony Dating Advice

by Karen Johnson

eharmony, a well-known internet dating site, is hitting a screeching note with Christian subscribers.

Segments from the feature article ‘Navigating the One Night Stand’ include ‘spontaneous lovin’ and ‘do what makes you happy.’ Amy Drown used to be one of 12 million subscribers until she got shocked by eHarmony’s turn from responsible to raunchy.

“But, in fact this is actually a how-to article on how to have a one-night stand. I actually went to my account setting on that page and clicked cancel. I just unsubscribed because of this kind of information.”

She’s not the only one; Lisa Anderson clicked the cancel button, too.

“After reading the article which basically could be found in Cosmo the content of it is so outrageous, I e-mailed eHarmony told them to remove my membership.”

eHarmony was a reliable source for Travis Williams.  It’s how he met his Christian wife. But now he’s leery of their immoral practices.

“I thought of eHarmony as a commitment site for people who were looking to make a long-term commitment rather than a one night stand.”

Focus on the Family Counselor Joann Condie could fill her days salving the scars of now married former swinging singles. She says research proves there are serious consequences to the type of experimental “hooking up” eHarmony condones.

“It’s no longer this beautiful one flesh, one mind, one spirit union but actually it’s a group of people.”

Other examples of dating advice from eHarmony include ‘how to flirt.’
