Mauve - Lavender Marriage

About

Mauve is a planning platform for lavender marriages: committed, intentional partnerships between LGBTQ+ people and their allies who want companionship, stability and family without a romantic script. It is built around a simple idea — decide what you want your life to look like, then find someone who wants the same things. PARTNERSHIP BLUEPRINT Answer eight honest questions about the partnership you want: platonic or companionate, your timeline, whether you picture a legal marriage, domestic partnership or cohabitation agreement, how you want to live and share money, how flexible you are on location, and how you feel about children and the paths to having them. COMPATIBILITY YOU CAN READ Instead of a photo stack, Mauve shows you people ranked by alignment with your Blueprint. Every profile comes with a plain-English breakdown: where you agree, and what is worth talking about before you go further. CONNECT WITH INTENT When two people both choose to connect, a private conversation opens — along with something no messaging app gives you: a shared plan. THE PARTNERSHIP PLANNER Each connection has a shared checklist covering the decisions that actually make or break a lavender marriage: legal structure, attorney consultation, prenuptial or partnership agreements, household finances, living arrangements, holidays and family, children and co-parenting agreements, and how you will communicate and resolve conflict. Tick items off together, use the discussion prompts when you are stuck, and keep shared notes both of you can see. GUIDES Plain-language guides on what a lavender marriage is, how marriage differs from a domestic partnership or cohabitation agreement, why a written agreement protects both partners, how to build a co-parenting agreement, the paths to parenthood, sharing a home and finances, and deciding what to tell family and friends. Guides are general information, not legal, medical or financial advice. SAFETY AND PRIVACY Only first names are shown. Your identity and family plans are shared with other members solely to find compatible partners, and you can change or remove them at any time. You can end a conversation, hide a member, or report a profile confidentially. Every report is reviewed. You can delete your account and all of its data from inside the app. Mauve is for gay men, lesbians and women who want a partnership built on honesty, shared goals and chosen family.
