About us
When you look up something about relationships online, you usually find one of two things. Either articles written by therapists that read like textbooks. Or generic advice lists that could apply to anyone — and therefore to no one in particular.
Quiz Couple was born out of that frustration. We didn't want yet another relationship website. We wanted something honest, concrete, that speaks to people as they actually are — not as some theory thinks they should be. Something that acknowledges that romantic relationships are complicated, imperfect, and that's precisely why they deserve to be taken seriously.
How Quiz Couple came to be
It started with conversations. Real ones — the long kind, the ones that begin with something trivial and end three hours later on questions you'd never quite sat with before. With friends, as a couple, with family. Conversations about what makes a relationship last, about why some people stay in situations that make them unhappy, about the gap between what we think we want and what we actually need.
What struck us was how little space those conversations had to exist. Not in therapy — therapy is something else, it's valuable but it's a specific context. In real life. Online. In the content we consumed. The inner workings of relationships — what actually happens between two people who love each other, hurt each other, choose each other or don't — rarely got a proper look.
So we started writing. Without pretending to know everything. With the conviction that a sincere perspective is worth more than cold expertise, and that you can talk about relationship psychology without playing therapist. We read, a lot. We observed, around us and within ourselves. We collected testimonies, stories, questions people didn't dare ask out loud but were desperately searching for on Google at 11pm.
Quiz Couple is the place where those questions find real answers — written by humans, not algorithms.
What we do — and what we don't
What we do
We write about romantic relationships. The dynamics, the patterns, the signals people don't always know how to read, the questions you ask yourself alone late at night. We dig. We take the time to understand before we write. We reread, cut, start over.
What we don't do
Diagnoses, moral judgements, listicles on "how to find the perfect man in 30 days". We're not therapists and we don't pretend to be.
The quizzes we've built aren't there to "reveal your personality in 5 questions" — that kind of content, honestly, we find hollow. They're there to spark reflection, to put words on something you feel vaguely, or simply to create a starting point for a conversation with your partner.
If someone is going through something genuinely difficult — a painful breakup, a relationship that's doing damage — we say clearly that talking to a professional is the best thing to do. That's not a disclaimer. It's a conviction.
The faces behind Quiz Couple
Lucie Courtin
Co-founder · Editorial line
Lucie is co-founder of Quiz Couple and responsible for the site's feminine editorial angle. She handles the majority of articles addressed to women — red flags, self-confidence in relationships, attachment dynamics, the questions you ask yourself about what you feel without quite knowing how to name it.
What defines her writing is a refusal to be condescending. She doesn't write to "help" women from a position of superiority. She writes with them, from a place of mutual recognition.
"I know what it's like to doubt what you feel in a relationship. I know what it's like to look for answers online at one in the morning because you don't feel able to bring it up with anyone around you."
Lucie became passionate about the emotional mechanics of relationships by observing first — relationships around her, her own, the patterns that came up again and again across very different people and very different stories. She then gave that curiosity some structure by reading about attachment theory, relational dynamics, emotional communication.
Her favourite territory
The complex emotions that are hard to untangle alone. The difference between jealousy and insecurity. What a partner's silence actually says. Why people sometimes stay in relationships that no longer suit them.
Mathieu Courtin
Co-founder · Male content
Mathieu is co-founder of Quiz Couple and responsible for the site's masculine content. His angle: unpacking what goes on for men in a relationship — what they feel, what they express badly, what they don't always understand about themselves.
It's a subject he took a while to find his footing on. Not because he lacked interest, but because spaces to discuss it seriously — without veering into men's-rights coaching on one side or moralistic lectures on the other — are rare. He wanted to create that space.
Mathieu became interested in male psychology in relationships after years of observing — and experiencing — the gap between what men say they want in love and what they actually do. He doesn't approach that gap as a criticism. He approaches it as a puzzle to work through, with curiosity and without taboo.
What he does better than anyone on the site
Put words on things men feel but don't say. The fear of commitment that isn't always what it seems. The difficulty of expressing an emotional need without feeling like you're losing something in the process. The moment a relationship starts to weigh on you without being able to say exactly why.
How we work
Two perspectives
Articles that look at a situation from both sides are often the result of real discussions between us before a single word is written.
Taking time
A subject like anxious attachment or power dynamics in a couple — that takes time to understand and find the right angle.
Mutual standards
We push back on each other. If a piece rings false or stays too theoretical, the other brings it back down to earth. It's not always comfortable, but it's what keeps the quality.
We'd rather publish less often and publish well.
If you're on Quiz Couple, you care about romantic relationships — yours, other people's, or just the general mechanics of the whole thing. We're glad you're here. And if something we've written has helped you put words on something, or see a situation differently, that's exactly why we do this.
