How It Works

Featured in PEOPLE Magazine · 1,200+ verified couples · Free to join

Two of the most-loved couples in our community - different ages, different disabilities, the same outcome: a partnership where nothing had to be explained twice.

Kaci and Collin, a married couple who met on our disability dating site in February 2024

Kaci & Collin

Married within the year
I joined on a Tuesday. By Friday we had matched, by the end of the month we knew. Our wedding was also a celebration of the surgery Collin survived. Three days - that's all it took to find the person.
Leslie and Howard, an interabled couple in their sixties who met on the disability dating app

Leslie & Howard

Interabled · Met at 60+
I have a sitting disability after a cycling crash at 55. Howard has Parkinson's. He can still drive, my steady hand helps us eat. We complete each other in the most ordinary, beautiful ways.

Read our deep dive into how interabled couples build lasting partnership.

What Interabled Couples Teach Us About Equality

An interabled relationship - one partner with a disability, one without - succeeds when both refuse the caregiver script. Dr. Sarah Hunt's UK research shows that even well-meaning non-disabled partners can unconsciously slide into a carer frame, which corrodes intimacy over time.

The couples featured on this page actively resist that pull. They share logistics like roommates, divide care tasks that flow both ways, and call out language that flattens one of them into a patient. That's the equal partnership we design the product around.

"The strongest interabled couples don't avoid the word disability - they put it in the middle of the table and build the relationship around it as equals, not above or below it." - Dr. Sarah Hunt, disability relationship researcher

In Their Own Words

Short quotes from members who agreed to share what changed when they left the mainstream apps behind.

"He thought about the small details before I had to mention them. That alone was a first." - Sarah, wheelchair user, NYC
"On Tinder I got ghosted the second my chair showed up in a photo. Here, my chair was in my profile picture from day one." - Camila, cerebral palsy, Miami
"Text-first chat meant I could mask less. By the time we met in person, he already knew the real me." - Marcus, Autistic adult, Seattle
"Three days. That's how long it took to meet the man I married. Three days versus three years on Hinge." - Kaci, Texas
"Disclosing PTSD used to end conversations. Here it started one - with another veteran who got it." - Jordan, Army veteran, Austin
"I didn't think I'd date again after the crash at 55. Howard proved me beautifully wrong at 63." - Leslie, San Francisco
