CBS NEWS – July 2 – Started nearly 13 years ago, the online dating site eHarmony has
hit it off with many people, sparking the weddings of more than half-a-million
people, and five percent of marriages nationwide each year. But now the company
is experiencing success with a perhaps surprising growing demographic. Warren
said, "We've had 88,000 people over 80 apply to eHarmony. We only go to
99. We don't know of any over 100."
In addition to his company's success, Warren also discussed the controversy
surrounding his company's stance on same-sex relationships. Warren, asked if
they would have opened a separate same-sex relationship website on their own
without the discrimination lawsuit, said, "I doubt that we would have
because I didn't know anything about it."
And then turning to the subject of same-sex marriages, Warren said,
"Well, you know, that's been the biggest problem that we've had in America
for the last few years. It's kind of nice that it's kind of moving in the
direction now that it's taken care of. Now, we can turn to a much bigger issue:
We only have about 25 percent of all marriages that work. We need to get about
the task of figuring out how to make that 50 percent, 75 percent."
