Compatible Partners Love Stories
“By the second visit we knew we had both fallen in love. I never expected to meet the love of my life online. Theresa is anything I could've dreamed of and more. I was so attracted to her, this caring, fun loving, passionate, motivated, energetic person. I couldn’t help but be drawn to her.” - Brooke & Theresa
“The beauty of Compatible Partners is that by the time we met we already knew each other very well. As I said to Keleko in my wedding vows, I have waited for you for 60 years. I can't believe that God has blessed us with this union. It was every bit worth the wait." - Don & Keleko
“Throughout my life I feel I have knowingly settled for the guys I dated. But Brian is the living, breathing embodiment of my dreams… We've been dating for only a couple of months now, but I feel in my bones that I've met my husband. Thank you, Compatible Partners.” - Amir & Brian
Signup Process
On Compatible Partners you’re required to complete a lengthy signup process when starting out. The relationship questionnaire could take you around a half hour or so to complete and while that may sound like a hassle, it really is worth taking the time to do it right. Your answers will be used to create your personality profile, which will form the basis of how the site picks matches for you. You’ll answer questions that deal with your education, employment, religion, and physical attributes, before heading into questions about your likes, dislikes, and deal-breakers.
After completing the test, you can browse other user profiles for free, but if you want to communicate with anyone you’ll need to purchase a subscription.
Matchmaking & Search Functions
The site uses your personality profile to find matches for you, which it then sends your way and you can decide whether or not to reach out. The matches come directly to your inbox on a daily basis and you can decide to click through and get in touch, or just wait for something more to your liking.
The site is otherwise rather limited when it comes to manual search options.
Features & Communication Tools
With Compatible Partners you can always reach out to other users with a message, or use the SecureCall feature in order to speak on the phone with another user without revealing your phone number.
Safety & Security
The SecureCall feature is a way to reach out to other users without having to make your phone number available. The RelyID feature verifies your identity and puts a little badge on your profile once you’re cleared. You can keep an eye out for other users with the badge to know they’ve also been verified.
Compatible Partners routinely monitors account activity and “investigates all complaints of unusual, inappropriate or falsified accounts,” though it does not conduct background checks when accounts are registered. The site does use extensive security measures to protect customer data and transactions, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

The 1-month price for Compatible Partners is higher than many of the competitors, but the site has a proven track record, and if you sign up for a 3 or 6 month plan, there are significant savings to be had.
