Catholic matchmaking that makes sense.

You don’t need to overhaul your personality or fake interest in things you hate.

You just need a process that feels normal, faithful, and human again.

CommitmentISM keeps it simple: five steps, one clear goal, to help you meet someone who shares your faith and your readiness for marriage.

Timeline & Expectations

Every story moves at its own pace, but here’s the rhythm you can expect:

1. Apply

Fill out a confidential profile. It helps me get to know your story—what you’re looking for, what you’ve learned, and what’s non-negotiable.

2. Meet with Me

We’ll have a one-on-one conversation to see if the process and the timing are right. It’s relaxed—somewhere between a consult and a heart-to-heart..

3. Conversational Chemistry

When I make an introduction, it begins with a phone call. I open the conversation in prayer, then step out so you can talk privately and honestly.

4. Mutual Yes

If both of you feel the connection, photos are shared privately. Only then.

5. Ongoing Support

Whether it’s guidance, feedback, or the occasional “Is this normal?” moment—I’m here for you.

Most clients begin hearing from potential matches within the first few weeks after our initial call. Each introduction is deliberate, not rushed—usually one at a time.

Conversational Chemistry:
Why we start with a call

Dating today is looks-first, resume-second, with faith as a distant third. And that’s part of the problem.

Starting by phone changes the order. It lowers bias, builds comfort, and helps you discover connection where attraction can actually grow.

I call it Conversational Chemistry—that spark that shows up when two people talk like they’ve known each other forever. That’s what you’re on the hunt for, because that’s what really keeps a relationship going.

Every call begins in prayer, because it’s not just conversation—it’s discernment.

And after the call, once you both say yes, then photos are shared. It keeps things rooted in respect, not reaction.

Boundaries & Privacy

I believe privacy is part of dignity.

Here’s how it works:

Your information and photos are never public. Everything stays between us until there’s mutual consent to connect.
Introductions happen one-to-one, only when both say yes. Nothing is ever sent out in bulk.
Either person can decline gracefully at any point—no explanation required, no awkward follow-ups.
Confidentiality is absolute. I never divulge or reveal anyone as a client. If we bump into each other at a conference or parish event, I’ll smile politely and pretend we’ve never met. I’m that committed to protecting your story.

If a match isn’t a fit, we regroup and reflect together before the next introduction. Every “no” just moves you closer to the right “yes.”

A quick note about logistics:

A match fee applies before your first phone introduction. It’s not about transaction—it’s about mutual investment. It ensures that everyone entering this process is equally committed and ready to engage with respect.

Why this process works.

You can’t outsource love to an algorithm.

But you can create the kind of space where it has room to unfold—with intention, with prayer, and with someone guiding you who believes it’s still possible.

This isn’t a quick fix or a numbers game. It’s a process that draws you back to what’s most real about you—your hope, your courage, your desire to love and be loved well.

Here’s what begins to shift when people step into this kind of matchmaking:

Clarity.
You stop second-guessing God’s plan and start recognizing His timing in real conversations.

Confidence.
You remember how it feels to show up as yourself, without performing or shrinking down.

Connection.
You start meeting people who get it—who share your faith and your desire to build something lasting.

Privacy.
You can be honest and open because the process itself protects your dignity.

Faith.
Somewhere along the way, you realize this isn’t random—it’s grace in motion.

It’s not magic. It’s just what happens when we put prayer and presence back at the center of how we meet each other.

If you’re nodding along so far, you’ll probably love what happens next.

Meet your Match(maker)

Hi, I’m Madigan Maere, founder and matchmaker behind CommitmentISM.

I believe marriage is a vocation—a calling that deserves prayer, humor, and a good dose of honesty.

My role is part coach, part guide, and part slightly-bossy friend who refuses to let you settle for halfway holy.

I’ve spent years studying relationships and walking people through discernment (and, yes, dating myself). I’ve seen what happens when people approach matchmaking with faith, humor, and honesty—it works.
