Based on the one and only TRUE Compatibility Test(TM) and written by
TRUE's team of expert clinical and research psychologists, Soul Mates Forever
helps individuals assess and address a series of crucial relationship issues,
ranging from personality, lifestyle preferences and sex life, to money
management and conflict resolution.
Individuals and couples face an array of challenges when it comes to
entering commitment stages in relationships. For example, a couple may be
contemplating co-habitation, engagement or dating one another exclusively.
An individual may want to do a self-evaluation to see if he or she is really
ready for a committed relationship. In some instances, a couple may have
reached a crossroads and simply needs assistance conducting difficult
conversations about intimacy, child rearing, financial matters or world views.
Addressing these types of challenges can be difficult. TRUE's research has
shown that relationship issues form a hierarchy, or staircase, where some are
more difficult to resolve than others. But surprisingly, the higher a couple
advances on the hierarchy, the more satisfaction they will feel in the
relationship. Soul Mates Forever carefully helps users walk through these
variables and issues using provocative questions and fun behavioral exercises.
Customers find TRUE's relationship tools extremely appealing and
beneficial. "We met on TRUE.com earlier this year and are now in a committed
relationship. Although we lived thousands of miles apart, we still found each
other through the site. TRUE didn't just put us together, they gave us the
tools to carry our relationship to the next level," say former TRUE.com
members George and Tamiko of San Diego, California.
"TRUE is all about pairing and supporting couples for the long term," said
Dr. Jim Houran, chief psychologist for TRUE.com. "So, instead of trying to
force the development of relationships with artificial timetables or pushing
consumers down a high-pressure nuptial path, we encourage singles and couples
to educate themselves to better increase their chances of achieving
relationship satisfaction. We've extracted findings from our uniquely
published TRUE Compatibility Test and have utilized an easy-to-understand
format to help couples and singles facilitate relationship assessments that
will uncover important issues that are often overlooked. This means taking a
step backward to evaluate your expectations in a smart, sensible manner before
taking the relationship to the next level."
Houran also notes that academics and industry leaders in the field of
relationship psychology praise the concept of TRUE's innovative offering.
"Relationships are complex. This relationship-readiness tool helps the
individual search within him or herself to reflect on areas that impact a
relationship that normally aren't considered," says Sandy Vicari, Ph.D., LCPC,
from the Department of Psychology at Southern Illinois University School of
Medicine. "Soul Mates Forever aids an individual in self-understanding and
creating a healthy beginning for a relationship."
Recognizing that no guide can profess to fully counsel individuals and
couples on relationship matters, TRUE further enhances Soul Mates Forever by
equipping users with a nationwide directory of well-respected therapists
covering most every aspect of relational psychology. Lawrence Rose, president
of Psychology Today comments, "TRUE.com and their researchers have identified
and are addressing crucial stages in relationships. They are helping
individuals get the assistance they need to achieve more satisfying
partnerships."

ongoing series of tools under development by researchers at TRUE. Visit
