A site about life as a couple
AffectionPlus follows a life as a couple stage by stage: meeting someone, living together, marrying,
starting a family, separating. The four sections in the menu are not four separate subjects; they are
four ways into the same one.
- Advice covers the stages themselves, from meeting to separating, and what
surrounds them: travel, healthy living and the glossary.
- Sexuality is an essential component of life as a couple. It is the first subject
people stop talking about, and one of the first causes of a break-up when nobody dares raise it.
- Health conditions everything else: contraception and infections from the first
relationship, fertility and pregnancy when starting a family, addiction and mental health when a couple
goes through a hard stretch.
- Astrology answers two questions people genuinely ask when they meet someone or
expect a child: are we compatible, and what will this baby be like. We present it as a cultural
tradition, without claiming it predicts anything.
Two principles. General pages say only what is true in every country; anything that depends on a
country sits in a country page, with the governing texts, the actual procedure,
timescales, costs and where to go. And what is documented is distinguished from what is custom or
opinion.
Frequently asked questions
Who is this site for?
Anyone with a question about life as a couple, at any stage: someone who has just joined a dating site, a couple planning a binational wedding, parents looking for childcare, or a person preparing a separation.
Why country pages?
Because almost everything that really matters — marriage, divorce, adoption, assisted reproduction, childcare, online rights — depends on the country. General pages explain the mechanism; country pages give the texts, timescales, costs and addresses.
Is the content checked?
Legal and medical information is based on the texts in force and on official sources, cited at the foot of the page where they exist. It replaces neither a lawyer nor a doctor, and rules change: the date of last verification appears on the relevant pages.
Is the site free?
Yes, the whole site is freely accessible, with no registration.
What is the connection with Affection.org?
Affection.org is a long-established French-language dating site, described in detail in the Advice section. AffectionPlus is its editorial extension: information, not a dating service.
What do the quizzes, the compatibility test and “Where to start” offer?
Three ways into the site other than the table of contents. Where to start begins from your situation and points to the right pages. The love compatibility test crosses seven readings from two first names and two dates of birth, presented as a game. The quizzes check what you really know, with the answer explained and a link to the page that details it. Everything is computed in your browser: nothing is sent or stored.
