Thankfully there is an app that can make that decision for you! [Marriage Material](http://www.marriagematerialapp.com/) launched Monday in the iTunes App Store, and its websites boasts that its creators spent [“months working with dozens of relationship experts”](http://www.marriagematerialapp.com/faqs/) to best analyze your marital fate. In reality, the app provides two quizzes (extra quizzes cost 99 cents) that 1) determines where your partner falls on the “Lazy/Hot” scale and 2) calculates your compatibility after asking thought provoking questions like, “Does he treat you with love and respect?” and “Does he have an occupation you respect and leaves time for you?” It seems safe to say that you might be better asking each other a [bunch of questions](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/fashion/no-37-big-wedding-or-small.html) instead. If the app’s a success, at least there will be a market for a spin-off. > [](https://twitter.com/noahchestnut/status/562986558325010434) (h/t: [Christopher Mims](https://twitter.com/mims/status/562986004983070723)) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3695709/marriage-material-app/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3695709/marriage-material-app/"},"headline":"This App Will Decide if Your Partner Is 'Marriage Material'","datePublished":"2015-02-04T21:08:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:31.943Z","description":"We are all doomed","url":"https://time.com/3695709/marriage-material-app/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Tech","apps","viral","relationships"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d45dd6ad26ad185/69877da8f887dc74e3e89f02/marriage-app.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Laura Stampler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/laura-stampler/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0d45dd6ad26ad185/69877da8f887dc74e3e89f02/marriage-app.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"marriage app","caption":"marriage app","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3695709/marriage-material-app/","name":"This App Will Decide if Your Partner Is 'Marriage Material'"}}]}] ```
