More than a third of recent marriages in the USA started online, according to a study out Monday that presents more evidence of just how much technology has taken hold of our lives. The research, based on a survey of more than 19, individuals who married between and , also found relationships that began online are slightly happier and less likely to split than those that started offline. Lead author John Cacioppo, a psychologist and director of the Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience at the University of Chicago, says dating sites may "attract people who are serious about getting married. While Cacioppo is a noted researcher and the study is in a prestigious scientific journal, it is not without controversy. It was commissioned by the dating website eHarmony, according to the study's conflict of interest statement.

The authors conducted a survey of 19, Americans who got married between and —and over a third of those relationships began online, which in itself is a dramatic finding. And those unions, according to the analysis, actually do differ from the unions of people who meet offline.

A couple whose wedding I attended this spring met via an online dating site. But these happy newlyweds hardly represent the first of the young wives and husbands I know who met online.

Matchmaking is now done primarily by algorithms, according to new research from Stanford sociologist Michael Rosenfeld. His new study shows that most heterosexual couples today meet online. Algorithms, and not friends and family, are now the go-to matchmaker for people looking for love, Stanford sociologist Michael Rosenfeld has found. Online dating has become the most common way for Americans to find romantic partners.
