Illustration: a round for a member open to all faiths
How it works
One careful profile. Three people worth meeting.
MatchIdeal is for people who want to marry, not browse. It takes longer to join than a dating app, so the matches you get are better.
- 1
Get verified
Photos, a live selfie and a government ID, checked by Stripe Identity. Nobody is matched until they pass.
- 2
Tell us properly
About 25 minutes, or a few minutes if you let our AI fill the form from your own description.
- 3
Get your three
Your requirements are checked against everyone, and theirs against you, then the best fits are ranked.
- 4
One at a time
Your three open one by one, best fit first, with seven days for each. No feed, no bingeing.
- 5
Meet, with family if you like
When you both say yes, photos unlock and you can talk. A guardian can receive a copy of every message.
The matching
How your three are chosen
Two stages. First, hard requirements are checked in both directions: yours against them, and theirs against you. Everyone who passes is then scored out of 100, and the top three are yours.
Stage 1 · Checked both ways
- Who you’d like to marry
- Age range
- Faith preference
- Marital status
- Children
- Minimum education
- Smoking and alcohol
- Where they live or would move
We never match on caste, skin colour or ethnicity, and there are no filters for them. Faith is matched only as far as you ask it to be.
Stage 2 · Scored out of 100
- Faith and practiceFaith, branch, how practising25
- Life plansChildren, timing, home, work20
- Values and lifestyleFamily outlook, diet, smoking, alcohol20
- CharacterShared interests and personality20
- BackgroundEducation, language, location15
Bar length is to scale; the longest bar is 25 points. Your must-haves add up to 9 bonus points, and the score is averaged from your side and theirs. It is a guide to start a conversation, not a verdict.
Faiths
Every faith has its own questions
Choose a tab to see what we ask. You decide how much faith matters in a partner, from same faith only to open to all.
Open to everyone
Every faith, one standard
Choose your own faith, or none, and then decide how much it matters in a partner: same faith only, same faith preferred, open to all, or a short list you pick. Faith is something you can match on. It is never used to keep anyone out.

- Your faith and how practising you are
- How you would raise children
- Diet and observance that shape daily life

Why it works this way
Built for marriage, not browsing
Three, not three hundred
A short list gets read properly. Each person gets your full attention, and you get theirs.
Verified, every member
Government ID and a live selfie, checked by Stripe Identity before anyone appears in a match.
Fit in both directions
You only see people whose requirements you meet too. No one-sided matches.

Questions
Do I have to choose a religion?
No. Choose “No religion” or “Spiritual, not religious”, and set how much a partner’s faith matters to you.
Who can see my photos?
By default, nobody. Photos stay hidden until you and a match both say yes. You can choose to show them to people you’re matched with instead.
What happens after I like someone?
Liking is free. If they like you back, it’s a match: photos unlock and you can talk. If you’re not one of their 3 options, they see that someone likes them and can reveal you with coins. Either way, it’s their choice.
What if none of my three feel right?
Tell us why when you pass; it shapes your next round. The right person may simply not have joined yet. On Weekly Three we search again every week as new verified members join, so many people keep searching for several months.
Can my family be involved?
Yes. Add a guardian or chaperone who receives a copy of your messages, or bring family to the expert session.
Who checks my ID, and do you keep it?
Stripe Identity checks your document and selfie. We receive only the result, never a copy of your ID.
Which countries do you cover?
Members can join from anywhere. You decide whether a partner should live in your country, in countries you name, or anywhere in the world.
