Relationship Research Lab
One million couples.
One question.
What does it actually take to stay in love?
Love Pulse Labs exists to answer that question with data, not opinions. We study the real behavioral patterns behind relationships that last, and we publish what we find so every couple has a fighting chance.
We're not here to study heartbreak.
We're here to prevent it.
Most relationship research asks why love fails. We ask what makes it last. That shift changes everything about what we study, what we build, and what we publish.
Study what keeps love alive
Not what breaks it. Not what kills it. What sustains it. The daily behaviors, the small rituals, the invisible choices that keep two people choosing each other.
Make the research useful today
Academic papers sit behind paywalls for years. We publish findings within weeks, in language real people understand, with protocols they can use tonight.
Build the largest relationship dataset ever assembled
Through our sister platform LVRS FRVR, we're collecting continuous behavioral data from real couples, with consent at every layer, to answer questions nobody has had the data to ask.
Give every couple a fighting chance
Relationship health shouldn't be a luxury. The insights we uncover are published free. The tools we build are accessible. One million couples, starting with the ones who need it most.
Four forces that shape every relationship
Our research framework maps the behavioral signals that predict where a relationship is heading. Not what people say. What they do.
Drift
The slow, invisible distance that grows between partners. Not caused by fights. Caused by forgetting to notice.
Desire
The pull that draws two people closer. Not just physical. The craving to be chosen, to be wanted, to be seen.
Presence
The quality of being fully here, right now, with the person next to you. No screens, no scripts, just attention.
Rhythm
The daily patterns that define a relationship. The rituals, the habits, the things you do every morning without thinking.

Love Pulse Labs is the science.
LVRS FRVR is the practice.
LVRS FRVR helps couples stay connected every day through daily sparks, guided conversations, and relationship assessments. Love Pulse Labs studies the patterns that emerge from that engagement to understand what actually works.
Together, they form a loop: the practice generates the data, the research improves the practice, and every couple who uses the platform contributes to a growing understanding of what it takes to stay in love. One million couples. One question. Two companies built to answer it.
