London, Oct 9 : Whoever said ‘opposites attract’ might have to eat his own words, for a survey from a match-making website has claimed that initial spark of attraction soon fades and does not make for a long and happy married life.
A survey carried out by The Oxford Internet Institute, looked at the habits of 1,000 couples to find the secret of a happy relationship.
The poll was conducted for online matchmaking service eHarmony, which was launched in the UK this week, and boasts off 43,000 marriages per year in the US.
Founded by professional psychologist Dr Neil Clark Warren, EHarmony puts potential members through grilling session of questions before thay make their profile on the site.
