在线交友正变成主流用科技战胜孤独

So Dr Warren set up as a marriage counsellor, seeing more than 7,700 people over the decades. The counselling only confirmed his convictions that divorce was due to incompatibility that should have been evident before the wedding. “I thought people had found the wrong person. They had never received any training about who they should meet.”

于是，沃伦成为了一名婚姻顾问，几十年来有超过7700人向他咨询。辅导工作强化了他的信念：导致离婚的不和谐因素本应在结婚前就显而易见。“我认为，人们往往找错对象。他们从来没有接受过任何培训，告诉他们应该找什么样的另一半。”

Pre-marital counselling did not seem to work. “I never had one couple cancel their wedding as a result.” He recalls one session in which the man told his fiancée: “Nothing this man says will stop me marrying you.”

婚前咨询似乎不管用。“从来没有一对情侣因为咨询过我而取消婚礼。”他记得在一次咨询中，一位男子告诉他的未婚妻：“这个男人说的任何话都不会阻止我娶你。”

Despite diversifying into writing relationship books and running seminars, he craved stimulation. So in 2000, just before the dotcom bubble burst, the pair managed to raise $2.5m funding.
