eHarmony Labs Offers Free Relationship Check-Up
New Online Tool Helps Couples in Serious Dating Relationships Get More Connected and Have More Fun
PASADENA, Calif., May 24, 2007 – Underscoring its ongoing commitment to helping people build satisfying and happy long term relationships, eHarmony Labs announced the launch of a free Relationship Check-Up for couples in a serious dating relationship. This new relationship tool will help couples identify the strengths and weaknesses of their relationship while providing them with personalized tips on how to improve those areas of their relationship that will bring them closer together. The free Relationship Check-Up is available at http://www.eharmony.com/labs/.
“We pride ourselves on developing scientifically validated products that will help people strengthen their relationships and what better way to demonstrate that commitment than by offering a free Relationship Check-Up,” said Dr. Galen Buckwalter, vice president of Research and Development. “Couples not only get an assessment of their relationship, but they also receive personalized advice on how to strengthen that special bond they share.”
The Relationship Check-Up was specifically designed for couples who are in a serious dating relationship (at least 3 months or longer). Each partner answers a 60-item questionnaire and then receives instant access to their assessment results and relationship advice. This assessment has been developed by the relationship and measurement experts at eHarmony Labs. Those who are married, casually dating, or single can try out other free assessments and tools at http://www.eharmony.com/labs/.
eHarmony Labs is led by a team of five Ph.D.s with expertise in the fields of psychology, sociology and human relations. The Labs team is setting out to more deeply understand the social, psychological and physiological processes that make relationships successful, from their inception through the entire lifecycle of marriage and family.
To ensure continued scientific excellence, eHarmony Labs has formed a Scientific Advisory Board. This multidisciplinary, world class panel of scientists includes: Thomas Bradbury, Ph.D. (UCLA), John Cacioppo, Ph.D. (University of Chicago), David Kenny, Ph.D. (University of Connecticut), Bruce McEwen, Ph.D. (Rockefeller University), and Linda Waite, Ph.D. (University of Chicago).
