My motivation for building Timeline Dating and growing a community of thoughtful daters is both personal and research-backed. I know what it's like to realize later in life that marriage and family matter deeply to you, whether that's a new clarity or something you've wanted all along. I also know the heartbreak of watching friends invest years in relationships that were never going to get there. But here's what research confirms: couples who discuss relationship goals and timelines early report higher satisfaction, stronger commitment, and faster progress toward serious partnerships. Early clarity reduces ambiguity and builds trust.
I met my husband at 31, married a few years later, and we have a baby on the way. It can work out, even when it feels late. But I believe you deserve to know if someone shares your vision before investing your time and heart.
For those of you who are ready now, whether you've deprioritized marriage and family for years and are now ready, or you've been ready all along but keep meeting the wrong people, you're not alone. I'm building for you. ❤︎
