Before “I Do”

Project Concept

In today’s world, laying healthy foundations for a successful marriage is more crucial than ever in romantic relationships. In the United States, 35-50% of marriages end in divorce. Outside of causing financial and emotional strain on the now ex-spouses, this leads to a number of harsh effects on both friends and family alike. Seeing this issue, Before “I Do” aims to create a science based method for future marriage partners, an analysis of compatibility and recommending local resources may be helpful in setting up the relationship for a healthy marriage. By assessing relationship health before tying the knot, couples can identify potential issues in their relationship and take steps to resolve them. After evaluating the relationship and if couples desire, we hope to connect future spouses with professionals thus creating a secure counseling environment to target and enhance areas where they show low to moderate compatibility.

This application is designed to assist individuals who are curious about their compatibility with their partner, whether they are dating, engaged, or currently married. By exploring the compatibility within your relationship, you can assess yourselves from a scientific perspective. For new couples, this tool can provide reassurance by highlighting whether any perceived incompatibilities align with patterns observed in larger samples of couples.
