How Does The Match Factor Work?

The Match Factor process explained.

MWC and TMF have built a customized program to support you through the development of healthy Relationship Preparedness, Dating Connections, and into Couples’ Relationship Work. These include 3 unique Phases (packages) of services.  Your enrollment launches with Phase 1 and includes a customized and updated treatment plan that follows you through the entire process.  You then move through Phase 2, and in one-year from your intake date, have completed Phase 3.  The “One Year” is calculated from your initial intake date through completion of all 3 Phases without pauses (exceptions screened).

Please note there are no shortcuts through this specialized program of services built specifically to help develop and support you on your journey to a committed and healthy long-term relationship.  Phase 4 is a customized additional treatment plan for those who want to continue on after the 1-year program completes.  This includes an individualized assessment process and quote for additional services.

Various therapeutic modalities, tools and skills-building techniques take place through the entire program, including the highly regarded Gottman work for individuals and couples.  Sessions can be in-person or virtual.  If you want to match with a TMF client, be assured that both individuals have completed Phase 1 and moved into Phase 2 to be considered for any matching.  Dating outside TMFs Matchmaking Service is welcomed as we support you as you begin whatever relationship path you choose.  We don’t stand in the way of destiny!  We recognize and respect other paths you choose to take on your unique journey and the ongoing support will be there for you.

A partner may choose to enroll in this program to help strengthen the foundation of your new relationship, or perhaps you are already in a relationship and need these services.  Intakes into this program are open and ongoing.

Please Note:  For those people who are already in a committed coupled relationship you can certainly enroll in this program.  Your customized Phase 2 won’t include dating outside your current committed relationship as throuples or added intimate partner relationships isn’t what our program offers.  Your customized Phase 2 will be about both working hard to rebuild your relationship, build a Stronger Sound Relationship House, and move through past mistakes or heartbreaks to form a stronger heathier and committed relationship.

This foundations and these building blocks are essential for any couple’s intimate relationship to thrive.

The Database Registration simply gets you into our database and our optional selection process  however enrollment only pre-empts your enrollment and intake into the program and into Phase 2 for actual potential matching.  We get to know all participants well.  Our database is reviewed on an ongoing basis and if we can see a potential match, we invite you into our process.

By now I‘m sure you can see that this is a very serious program and your commitment to this process will establish the benchmark of your success.  There is no magical formula; only hard work.  A significant investment on all levels.
