Frequently Asked Questions

Our date planning service begins with a questionnaire to understand your preferences, interests, and relationship dynamics. From there, your dedicated date planner will work with you based on your selected package.

The entire process is curated to be as easy as possible for you to focus on what’s important: one another. In general, you’ll be sent date ideas each month, which you choose from to have all the logistics planned for you. You still have to pay for date expenses (dinner, tickets, etc), but all the planning and logistics will be done for you so you can show up and create wonderful new memories together.

All dates are inspired by Positive Psychology research and relationship science to help you nurture a lifetime together.

In a nutshell, Positive Psychology is the scientific study of what makes life worth living. It helps people, couples, teams, and organizations be their best selves and flourish. Read more about it here.

Positive Psychology-based date planning focuses on creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences that promote happiness, well-being, and positive emotions for couples. It involves incorporating scientifically-backed principles and activities that enhance relationship satisfaction and overall positive emotions during dates.

We integrate Positive Psychology research in myriad ways, ranging from one central theme throughout the date to interventions blended together. For example, a date may focus on your VIA character strengths. Using strengths has been proven to lead to increases in overall happiness, achievement, physical health, and of course, stronger relationships.

That date is then curated to highlight each individuals’ signature strength, so it can be appreciated by the partner, before the strengths are applied in novel ways. Using signature strengths in new ways has been shown to increase happiness and decrease depression for three to six months.

We would love for you to plan dates yourself! Our mission is to help couples flourish, in whatever way they find sustainable. Our services distinguish themselves in two major ways:

• We take on all the logistics and planning. Here are some familiar lines we’ve heard: “We don’t do anything unless I plan it!” or “Wow, we should really do this more often”…and then six months pass by.
• We are experts in Positive Psychology and relationship science, so while we can’t guarantee your relationship will last forever, we leverage our expertise to plan dates based on evidence.

Officially, we use a validated Relationship Satisfaction scale once a year to measure progress on the scale.

Unofficially, we recommend taking the time to step back and evaluate how your relationship is going, and whether our dates have helped you meet your relationship goals!

Keep in mind that we recommend at least a six-month package for the couple to reap the benefits of creating a habit of prioritizing one another, spending quality time together, and leveraging the best in Positive Psychology relationship science.

First, they are really cute! Additionally, seahorses represent the Two Happy mission. Seahorses are one of the few animals that mate for life. They do a daily dance ritual for one another with the first rays of the sun.

An ancient name for seahorses is also the namesake of the hippocampus of the brain, which is responsible for learning and memory. Two Happy strives to keep romance alive and uses evidence-based Positive Psychology research to help couples create cherished memories to thrive over a lifetime.
