What to Expect: An Intentional Process & An Investment to Match

Madigan, founder of CommitmentISM, smiles directly at the camera, conveying warmth, trust, and approachability.

There is no swiping fatigue, no speed dating exhaustion, and no Church LOL (Little Old Lady) setups because you were both single.

CommitmentISM is personal, prayerful, and rooted in intentional conversation, because meeting your future spouse deserves more care than an app can give.

STEP 1: Join the
Date-A-Base

Our matchmaking database is free. Our only requirement is that you are open & honest in your responses.

Upon submission, we will review your profile and reach out if we have someone to introduce you to.

You will get a welcome email and video text from us. We request a video response to our text in order to get matched quicker!

Matchmakers only meet individually with people who desire paid services due to our increased volume and interest.

Step 2: Initial Serendipitous MeetCute (ISM)

When we find a match for you, we send an email requesting to schedule a 3 way phone call.

Once we find a time that works for all us (matchmaker, you, potential match), you will receive a calendar invite, call details, and a short bio with just enough information for you to be curious, but not enough that you could ever google someone!

You then send in photos that feel like you. (No headshots or professional photos required. Ones that make YOU happy. We want your joy to radiate!)

Pay your introduction fee, if applicable, before the call for mutual investment.

Then, at the scheduled time, I call each of you, make the introduction, begin the call in prayer… and then I leave.

I encourage people to talk for the full hour, but not more than the 90 minutes The Dating Project recommends. All you have to do is get to know someone!

2 hours after the call, you will receive a photo of your potential match so you have all the information before you discern.

We intentionally wait 24 hours for you to sleep, eat, pray, and process your introduction before you discern romantic interest.

Step 3: Discernment

Traditional matchmaking includes “feedback” following an introduction. This is where you determine romantic interest and provide feedback regarding your match. We call this discernment, and it can be done personally, with a relationship coach, or your matchmaker depending on package selection.

  • Hopefully it’s a clear “yes”, and the pursual begins. Phone numbers are shared, and we root for a wedding invitation!

  • Sometimes the personality fits, but the attraction isn’t there. We know physical attraction is important to procreation. Just remember it can grow!

  • Occasionally the call makes it clear you’re not a match. That clarity means you’re one step closer to finding your life partner!

What if we didn’t get it right on the first try?

It happens, but it’s NEVER our goal.

Thankfully, every “no” brings you closer to your forever “yes”!

It breaks our hearts when introductions (and later matches) don’t work out. Sometimes, more than the candidates realize since we are deeply invested in those who trust us with their love life.

CommitmentISM is a human, high touch service who deeply cares about your relationship success.

We are not a cheap subscription service that hopes you forget to cancel. If it were up to us, we would set you up once and you would be discerning marriage in 6-12 months. That’s how serious we are about every introduction.

Dating apps charge you to access people. We read over 600+ extensive profiles looking for the type of person you’re looking for.

Our matchmaker invests time, prayer, research, and discernment into helping you meet the right person. That kind of care is better than an algorithm.

When something truly matters, like buying a home for the next 30 years, people don’t do it alone. They hire a trusted realtor—someone who knows the market, asks the right questions, and helps them avoid costly mistakes—because it’s an important life decision.

This is an investment in your future, not just your next date.

We want this work to remain accessible to all Catholics, not just for the wealthy. Among professional matchmakers, our pricing is modest.

We believe in mutual investment. We will be as involved in your love life as you want us to be.

Who You Marry will Impact Every Aspect of Your Future.
Invest accordingly.

Our Package Offerings

We understand that everyone’s expectations in working with a matchmaker can be different. We offer various packages based on amount of introductions, level of service, and budget.

A note about introduction fees

The introduction fee exists to honor everyone’s mutual investment in the process. If both parties are invested, they are equally serious about outcomes.

Reminder, if you remain Passive in the Date-a-Base, fees are pay-per-introduction with no guarantees of meeting someone.

If you upgrade to Patiently Waiting, Priority or Premium, introductions are included.

Simple. Fair. Transparent.
