Happy Couple

With Valentines Day approaching, and youngsters going into a tizzy, it may be a good idea to find out how much you are actually in sync with your lover or partner. Just try this cool app which sends you both a daily short quiz asking questions about your and your partner’s likes and dislikes. The more the cross-matches, the more the compatibility. And if the answers don’t match – well you know what your better half is thinking!

The app acts as a springboard for starting relationship-building dialogue about feelings, values and aspirations. The questions bring you closer: From a variety of six different topics, you and your partner can answer five questions a day about each other and then discuss each other’s responses. 

Help yourself to strengthen your relationship as you and your partner continually learn more about one another.
