“Let all your things be done with charity.”
1 Corinthians 16:14 · KJV
Before you begin
Four joining steps, with guidance along the way. Complete them at your own pace before meeting people in Discover.
Create your own account and confirm your email before signing in.
Enter the code sent by text message to confirm access to your phone.
Add the essentials and your date of birth to confirm you are 18 or over. Confirm that you are single, Christian and seeking marriage.
Submit a clear photo. While it awaits review, your setup shows its status. Discovery opens once all four steps are complete, including photo approval.
The free ID/selfie check and separate human review for a Photo checked badge sit outside these required steps. No check proves someone’s faith, character or safety.
02 / Faith in ordinary life
Share more than a Christian label. What does prayer look like in your week? Where do you find community, practise hospitality, or learn to forgive? Make room for everyday joys and the kind of marriage you hope to build, too.
Write honestly about where you are growing. You do not need a polished testimony, and personal reflections remain your choice.
More than a first impression.
A person. A story. A place to begin.Faith in ordinary life
“My faith comes alive around a crowded table, an open Bible, and making sure there’s always room for one more.”
An example, not a member. Your story is always yours to change.
03 / Discern together
“Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.”
James 1:19 · KJV (excerpt)
Start with something they chose to share. Ask how their faith shapes a real part of life, and listen before deciding what you have in common. When interest is mutual, take time to discuss convictions, hopes and differences with kindness and honesty.
Choose a detail. See how an Intro could begin.

Illustrative conversation
Conversation can begin
After mutual choice and completion of the required joining stepsOnce the connection is eligible, conversation stays free.
The next faithful step
Discernment means getting to know someone over time: noticing whether words and actions agree, discussing what matters, praying, and listening to trusted counsel. You may continue, slow down or decide a relationship is not right for you.

Contact usBefore you begin
Blessed Union is for single Christian adults seeking marriage. Create your own account and confirm your email before signing in. Joining begins a process of getting to know people; it does not promise a partner or a timescale.
Create your account and confirm your email before signing in. Your guided setup then helps you confirm your phone, add your profile and private adult date of birth, choose your community declarations, and submit a clear profile photo for review.
An approved profile photo and the required account steps come before discovery and conversation. The free Didit identity check and separate human Photo checked review are optional. These checks do not establish someone’s faith, character or safety.
Ordinary conversation stays free once both people choose the connection and complete the required joining steps. A Like or an Intro on its own does not open unlimited conversation.
One optional Premium membership is NZ$10 charged weekly, NZ$29 charged monthly or NZ$199 charged yearly. It includes all eligible incoming Likes in Who liked you, searches of visible profile text and interests, discreet discovery, up to twelve photos, unlimited eligible discovery selections and revisiting passed profiles. Free members can reveal one new Like every seven days. Blocks, privacy choices and mutual preferences still apply. Free daily discovery, mutual connections, eligible conversation and essential safety controls remain available without a subscription.
Exploring another location is still being prepared and is not available yet. Your Membership page shows purchase availability. When available, approve the recurring payment through PayPal; it renews until cancelled. Cancel renewal from Membership and keep confirmed paid access through its end date. There is no trial or extra checkout tax, and no promise of Likes, a connection or a relationship.
Read the payment termsYes. Profiles arrive in small selections, and you decide when to request another. Free membership has a daily selection allowance; Premium removes that daily cap for eligible discovery. In Settings, you can pause discovery, choose whether to receive new Intros, and control which optional profile details you share. Nobody is owed a reply.
Understand your boundariesWe encourage relationships shaped by following Jesus: truthfulness about your intentions, patience as trust develops, care for another person’s dignity, and humility when you disagree. Talk openly about church, beliefs, family and the daily life you hope to share.
A shared Christian label cannot settle those questions for you. Prayer, Scripture and wise counsel belong alongside your own careful judgement; neither a connection nor a badge tells you whom God wants you to marry.

Space to learn about Jesus, open the Bible, and bring your questions. Wherever you are beginning.
