Our Story
Darren and I met on Match.com back in 1999 and became early pioneers in internet dating. As we "talked" by email and phone, we discovered that we spoke each other's language, shared similar life dreams, and enjoyed enough differences between us to make it interesting. In the blending of our lives and talents, we see unlimited opportunity for contribution to those who are seeking growth. Together we explore a give-give relationship, where we devote ourselves first to know each other, then to give, not as each would be given to, but as the other wishes. This marriage model is the basis not only for our personal lives, but also our professional purpose.
Elizabeth's Bio
How is it possible for an award-winning businesswoman and world class athlete like Elizabeth George to have been so unsuccessful in her first two attempts at marriage?
After all, her selection as a “Top 40 Business Executive Under the Age of 40” reflected a remarkably capable and competent professional. She excelled as a business owner, economic development and tourism consultant, and university professor whose credentials included a master’s degree in Human Resource Management and certification as a Christian lay counselor. Her company, Compatibility Solutions Inc., was created to help people choose and build great relationships, whether in business or in their personal life. To top it off, she competed for five years with the U.S. International Shooting Team, was World Champion in Crossbow, and was even awarded the United States Government’s coveted Distinguished International Shooter Badge, its highest award for marksmanship. So how could she have so badly missed the mark when it comes to love?
She failed in love because she fell in love with the wrong men for the wrong reasons. That discovery was the turning point in her life, the end of false choices that left her lonely, and the beginning of a forever marriage to husband and co-author Darren George. Elizabeth and Darren’s meeting and courtship weren’t storybook or flawless—they met through Match.com and even broke up for a while soon after they started dating—but their forever marriage is built on a code so powerful and reliable, they know they’re both in it for good.
Darren's Bio
Darren George was a single parent too, in his case of teenage children, and he shared a resume as bright and internationally competitive as his wife-to-be. He received his M.A. in Experimental Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and his Ph.D. in Psychology from UCLA with emphases in personality psychology, social psychology, and measurement and psychometrics. He is currently a Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology and Behavioral Science at Canadian University College in Lacombe, Alberta.

National Championship Team. What was missing in his otherwise rewarding life was the right person to share it with.
Our Forever Ending
But how could they know they’d be happy together? After all, the single greatest factor in life happiness is the quality of the marriage relationship, and neither had experienced success in that regard. The answer to that question is The Compatibility Code. Together they created this easy to follow partner selection code to help women reduce the risk in dating, increase their confidence in finding the right person, and equip them with tools to improve their choice. Darren and Elizabeth have now facilitated hundreds of interactive groups addressing pre-marital success, marital compatibility, communication, and conflict resolution. They don’t help you fall in love; they help you stride confidently forward and connect with the person you know is right for you.
