The SureMatch test has come along to combine religion and technology and help LDS Church members throughout Asia find someone compatible.”

Lynn Scoresby, Ph.D., a well-known author and psychologist, LDSPromise.com is unlike traditional picture-and-profile dating sites that are known for creating environments where users may be vulnerable to dangerous predators. Instead, LDSPromise.com offers well researched, unique e-learning tools and a safer online environment designed to assist sincere LDS singles in finding compatible dating and marriage partners.

There is no cost to take the SureMatch test, and individuals who do so will learn about their strengths and possible blind spots and weaknesses in dating relationships. They will also receive valuable insights in 21 areas of compatibility such as communication effectiveness, love and commitment and emotional competence. Users can then choose to continue with the service for a monthly online subscription price of $24.95.
