Why Are We Still Getting Marriage So Wrong?

We all know the stat: marriage has the strongest correlation with long-term happiness. Stronger than money. Stronger than career. Even stronger than friendship.

And yet… look around.

How many happily married couples do you really know?

Not Instagram-happy. Not Diwali-card-happy. Actually, quietly, deeply content.

The kind of love that still shares inside jokes. That still respects each other’s silences. That still reaches for the other’s hand, even when no one’s watching.

You’d think, with something so statistically linked to our wellbeing, we’d be obsessed with getting it right. Like we are with cholesterol levels or step counts or LinkedIn titles.

But we’re not. We’re barely trying.

Dating apps? Gamified dopamine machines.

Matrimonial sites? Biodata marketplaces with filters for skin tone and salary.

Therapy? Still a whisper in India. Still something couples wait far too long to try—if they ever try at all.

So what are we doing to help people get marriage right?

Mostly, nothing.

We treat marriage like something that’ll just… work out. As if compatibility will magically reveal itself through good morning texts and wedding hashtags. As if emotional maturity and long-term alignment just fall into place between Netflix nights and pre-wedding shoots.

We want the perfect wedding.We don’t know how to build a real relationship.

That’s why we’re building Sunday.

Not just another app to help you find a date.Not another algorithm to serve you “matches” based on proximity and playlist preferences.

But something more intentional. More honest. More human.

A space designed for people who want something lasting. Who want stability, not just spark. Who are ready to ask themselves the uncomfortable questions—before it’s too late.

Because finding the right person is too important to leave to chance. Or swipes. Or “let’s just see where it goes.”

And because the right relationship doesn’t just make you happy.

It makes you whole.
