Tom and I were introduced by eHarmony two months after I joined and five years after Tom joined. Not only were we physically attracted to one another, but there was chemistry between us temperament- and personality-wise. The unique aspect to our story is our 16-year age difference.  Tom's settings reflected his openness to a significant age difference, but mine did not until I altered them to reflect age zero to 99.  I wanted to see if I was eliminating any possibilities.  I'm so glad I did!  Two new matches were instantly created, including Tom's. We met face to face one month later.

Six months into our dating relationship, I moved from my home state of Wisconsin to Tom's home state of Washington on a trial basis. For 14 months, we lived 20 minutes apart. Now engaged nearly two-and-one half years later, we love one another deeply and can’t imagine spending life without the best friend we’ve found in each other. I’ve been sold on eHarmony’s compatibility matching system since my introduction to Tom, and am increasingly impressed as time elapses and I discover how amazingly similar Tom and I are on the inside. No one else understands me better or enables me to be more authentically me. Though we vastly differ in recreational pursuits and pace of life, in matters of faith and heart, we are two of a kind. Thank you, eHarmony!  I've met the love of my life!
