A new kind of relationship company

Your relationship deserves the same care you give the rest of your health.

Decode Love is a relationship coach that gets to know both of you and the relationship you’re building. It combines proven psychology with what each of you shares. If you choose to add DNA, it can also consider natural tendencies reflected in your biology. The result is guidance shaped around the two of you, not generic advice.

Why we exist

What you know about yourselves matters.
So does what you haven’t been able to see yet.

Most relationship tools depend on what you can tell them about yourselves. Decode Love starts there, with your answers, your experience, and the patterns of your life together. If you choose, it can also add a small amount of context from the natural tendencies reflected in your DNA. Together, those layers give your Coach a fuller understanding of your relationship, so its guidance can feel more personal and more useful.
What we've built

A relationship coach, not just a coach.

Your Coach

Your Coach learns from what you share, notices patterns over time, and remembers what has helped before. Each of you talks to it privately. It can understand both sides of the relationship without showing either partner what the other has said.

There after the hard conversation, and there the next morning when you’re ready to think about what comes next.

Your Relationship Genome

Your Relationship Genome maps how the two of you feel, connect, handle differences, and build a life together across ten dimensions. It begins with a short intake, grows as you use Decode Love, and can include DNA if you choose.

Start with 17 questions. Stop anytime; your answers will be waiting when you come back.

A clearer sense of how you’re doing

Your first session gives you a Love Satisfaction Score based on a validated measure. As Decode Love gets to know your relationship, that score becomes the Decode Love Index, an ongoing view of how the two of you are doing and what may be changing.

Not just a check-in when something is wrong. A way to notice what’s working, too.
Your Couple Archetype

See what makes your relationship yours.

Your Couple Archetype gives you a shared language for the way the two of you move through life together. You’ll meet an early version in minutes. As each of you shares more, it becomes richer and more specific. It’s a way to recognize your relationship, not a box to put it in.

Your DNA Perspective

You’ll see the natural tendencies each of you may have brought into the relationship alongside the relationship you’ve actually built. Comparing the two can offer a new perspective on how you’ve shaped one another over time.

The whole picture

A relationship isn’t one person plus another. It’s what happens between you.

Decode Love maps both of you across ten dimensions. It looks at where you naturally line up, where you’re different, and how those combinations show up in everyday life. That shared pattern shapes your Couple Archetype and helps your Coach understand what’s happening between you, not just what either of you is feeling alone.
Your answers come first. Over time, the way each of you uses Decode Love adds more context. If you choose to add DNA, it contributes only what the research can responsibly support.

Our science, plainly

Your DNA may suggest a tendency. It never decides your future.

This is new territory. It calls for careful language, clear limits, and no inflated promises. These are the standards we build by.
01

Your lived experience comes first.

What you tell us about yourselves and your relationship carries the most weight. Biology can add a small amount of context to selected tendencies, but it never leads the story.

02

DNA shows tendencies, not destinies.

A genetic result may point to a small inherited lean. It can’t tell us who you are, how you’ll act, or what your relationship will become. We give DNA only the weight the research supports.

03

The measures have to earn our trust.

We draw on large published studies and validated instruments, and we’re building Decode Love with behavioral geneticists and practicing clinical psychologists.

04

You tell us who you are.

We never guess your culture, heritage, or identity from DNA or ancestry. If it matters to your relationship, we ask. You decide what to share.

05

There are no compatibility verdicts.

Every one of our nine Couple Archetypes can describe a strong, thriving relationship. Your results will never tell you that your biology says you shouldn’t be together. They’re designed to help you understand what your particular combination makes possible.

Private by default

Your relationship is personal. We treat it that way.

You may share deeply personal things with Decode Love about your relationship and, if you choose, your DNA. Protecting that trust isn’t a feature. It’s a condition of everything we build.
01

Your private words stay private.

Your partner never sees what you say to your Coach, and you never see what they say to theirs. Decode Love can understand both sides without exposing either person’s private conversations, answers, or notes.

02

Your data is not for sale.

Your conversations, answers, and DNA are used to give you your Decode Love experience. They are not sold, shared with data brokers, or used to train outside AI models.

03

Your DNA is protected.

It is encrypted, stored separately from your identity, and used only for your results. You can delete your DNA and the rest of your Decode Love data at any time.

04

No ads. No data brokers. No hidden customer.

We work for the couple using Decode Love.

The company

A small team taking relationships as seriously as the rest of your health.

Decode Love was founded in New York in 2026 around a simple belief: the quality of your closest relationship shapes your health and your life. Yet most couples still have nowhere to turn between generic advice and therapy. We’re building something for that space: a private, personalized Coach and a new way to understand the relationship you’re creating together.
