A real relationship
Compatibility is the key to a fulfilling relationship. It grows from the balance between two people’s personalities and aspirations and their choices in the way they live. No matter how compatible two people are – and PARSHIP is all about compatibility – each person needs to nurture the relationship and make sure that their partner is getting as much out of it as they are.
These articles and reports in this section focus on getting the best out of a relationship.
Why compatibility is essential to a long term relationship: When we’re young and dating for the first time the relationship is often based on passion and maybe not much else.

A real relationship really can start online
The key to compatibility is the way two people balance each other: how their personalities interrelate – where they are similar to each other and where they complement each other; how their lifestyle choices and longer-term aspirations harmonise … and much more.
Compatibility is at the core of the matching process on PARSHIP and at the root of the service’s success, with nearly 40% of Premium Members reporting that they have found a real relationship.
More than 30 years of academic research into relationships have built the PARSHIP matching process. Its principal component is the PARSHIP compatibility test, which assesses some 30 different personality traits, each essential to behaviour in the context of a relationship. Further fine-tuning of the matching is made with personal information supplied by each member and also on the basis of each individual’s search criteria for identifying a potential partner.
Many of PARSHIP’s Premium Members who report back with a success story say that, on first meeting their new partner, they immediately felt at ease. That’s quite an achievement on a first date – and it is proof of the principles behind PARSHIP’s compatibility matching. A real relationship really can start online.
