Questions people ask about Cherished
Is Cherished free?
Yes. Creating a profile, browsing members, sending interest and contacting the other person are free, and so are most verifications. A few optional extras, such as booking time with an advisor, may carry a fee, and any fee is shown before you book.
What makes it different from dating apps?
There is no swiping. Cherished is for courtship with marriage as the goal: you share your values and expectations up front, and the conversations that usually come too late happen first.
Can my family or a mentor be involved?
Yes. You can name a guardian, such as a parent or mentor, from your profile. They sign agreements with you through a secure link and see only what you allow. You can change this at any time.
Who can join?
Single adults who are ready for marriage and hold traditional values about commitment and family. Members can verify their email, phone, a video call and ID to earn badges others can see.
Is it a dating site?
No. Cherished is a matchmaking service for marriage. Members browse only after signing up, and photos are shown after both sides connect unless a member chooses otherwise.
