==History== Founded in 2000, Parship went online on 14 February 2001 (Valentine's Day). In collaboration with psychologist Hugo Schmale of the University of Hamburg, a questionnaire and associated profile-matching algorithm was developed with the purpose of bringing like-minded couples together. On Schmale's initiative, the matching algorithm is based both on behavioristic principles and on psychoanalytical theories of personality.
