CNBC – Feb 6 – Neil Clark Warren is a Christian theologian who worked as a clinical psychologist for 35 years, counseling married couples. He formulated a set of 29 characteristics that he said define successful relationships. He called them the “Dimensions of Compatibility.” In 2000, he founded eHarmony with his son-in-law Greg Forgatch. Warren attributes some of the company’s success to advertising. eHarmony has been the target of numerous lawsuits for its refusal to match same-sex couples. In 2008, eHarmony reached a settlement and agreed to launch a new website that would cater to same-sex couples. "It has really damaged our company. I have said that eHarmony really ought to put up $10M and ask other companies to put up money and do a really first class job of figuring out homosexuality. At the very best, it's been a painful way for a lot of people to have to live. But at this point, at this age, I want America to start drawing together. I want it to be more harmonious.”
