 CouplesworldwideÂ' understands that finding a suitable partner, whether online or inthe real world, is only half the challenge; the other is making new couple friendsand having the resources readily available to support and enrich their new lifetogether.
Once singles become couples, they often find that the support of their old singlefriendships have dwindled, as their interests are now different. Many young coupleslives are evolving as they get married, have children, change jobs, relocate, buy anew home, and they need to make couple friends who are at similar crossroads intheir lives.
Every year, millions of couples find each other either on-line or by the traditionalmethods through friends, work or church. e-Harmony states that 33,000 of theirmembers have married within a 12 month period and Match.com claims that last year400,000 singles found love on their site. With over 59 million married couples inthe USA,  CouplesworldwideÂ' recognized the need for a fun couples online community. As stated by one member,  It is a great website. It is about time someone did this. I can't believe it hasn't been done before for couples .How is it done?
Sheila Zamel, the CEO says:  We have developed a safe, fun and easy way for couples(non swingers) to find other couples like themselves, to develop new friendshipswithin their community. Because we are an international couples community, we alsoprovide the vehicle for couples to communicate and meet other couples around theglobe when they travel. International membership includes countries such asAustralia, China, India, Russia, United Kingdom and the Unites States.
Couples register by filling out a profile application about themselves, whichinclude questions about their interests, hobbies, sports, music and food. As safetyis paramount, all applications are reviewed before membership is approved and allpersonal information is held in the strictest of confidence.
Zamel comments,  We have gone beyond just matching couples by offering information,contests, games, guest speakers, area hosts and real world events." What makes CouplesworldwideÂ' unique is the multiple ways members can connect with each otherby using web chat, instant messaging, email, forums, blogs, picture and audio/videogalleries and creating their own social groups. There is no charge for standardmembership and couples are also eligible to win cash prizes for becoming members andinviting other couples to join.
 The key objectives of this online community are to offer everything of interest forcouples in a fun and informative way and to encourage and provide tools for thetransition from cyber world interaction to real world activities and friendships, states Zamel.
