The Course That Has Helped 400+ Christians Find Their God-Ordained Match

More than a course, Love Starts With You is a faith-driven journey of self-discovery. Each lesson, reflection, and exercise guides you from frustration and uncertainty to clarity, confidence, and ultimately, the love you’ve been waiting for. Your next relationship doesn’t begin with “finding the one”—it begins with becoming the one God created you to be.

Graduates describe the transformation as a deep sense of freedom, joy, and clarity. Fully empowered and unburdened, they are able to spot and receive true love that lasts a lifetime.

Here's what awaits you:

Unshakable Confidence

Define your values, clarify your boundaries, and discover what truly matters to you. This deep, unwavering confidence transforms not just your dating life but how you see yourself. You’ll know what you deserve, make decisions with clarity, and naturally attract people who align with your heart and your standards.

Boundless Freedom

Heal from past heartbreaks, release old patterns, and break cycles that have held you back. Love Starts With You gives you the tools to let go of fear, resentment, and uncertainty, empowering you to enter your next chapter whole and ready. Approach relationships from a place of freedom, knowing you won’t repeat the past.

Lasting Love

You’ll radiate the love that begins within you and draw the right partner into your life. Through self-awareness, renewed faith, and relational clarity, you’ll be ready to give and receive love at its deepest, most fulfilling level. This is the path to a God-honoring, committed relationship that is safe, joyful, and enduring.

Hi, I'm Renee Richel

I’m the founder and President of 1 True Match, a faith-driven matchmaking and relationship coaching company. Over the past 15 years, I’ve guided over 400 couples into marriage, with zero divorces and a 93% success rate in helping clients find committed love.

I’ve walked this journey myself, from heartbreak to healing to lasting love, and now I walk it with you. I bring together faith, wisdom, and practical strategy—helping you not just see the next step, but feel fully equipped to take it. Whether you’re single, dating, or in a season of rediscovery, this program gives you the tools to recognize what’s been holding you back, release old patterns, and grow into the kind of love you were created to give and receive.

For years, this proven framework was available only to my private matchmaking clients. Now, for the first time, Love Starts With You is open to the public, giving you the same step-by-step path that has helped countless believers prepare for and experience the love they’ve been praying for.

“Love isn’t something you chase. It’s something you prepare for. And when your heart is aligned with God’s, you won’t have to force it. It will find you.”

So Many Christians Feel Stuck in Love ...

You’ve followed the rules. You’ve kept your faith strong. You’ve done the inner work—or so you thought.

And yet… your love life still feels unsettled. Like something’s missing, like it’s just not clicking.

You’re not alone. Many faithful men and women find themselves in a cycle of disappointment and confusion when it comes to relationships. Not because they lack effort, but because they lack clarity.

Here’s what might be holding you back:

You’re attracting the wrong people—those who don’t reflect your values.
You’re afraid of repeating past mistakes or heartbreaks.
You’ve lost confidence in your ability to trust or open your heart.
You’re unsure what God truly wants for you in love.
You’ve focused on “finding the one” before becoming whole yourself.

Sound familiar?

This course meets you at that exact crossroads. Love Starts With You helps you break through confusion, reset your foundation, and invite God into the entire love equation, so you’re no longer striving, you’re aligning.

Change Your Life in 6-8 Weeks

100% Faith-Aligned Guidance | Prepare for Your 1 True Match | Become Your 1 True Self

Love Starts With You is a 6–8 week course built on our exclusive S.A.L.T. Methodology, combining self-paced lessons with guided coaching.

Why This Works?

Many Christian singles struggle not because they lack faith, effort, or goodness—but because they haven’t built the foundation that invites lasting love. This program guides you through the exact steps to:

- Know yourself deeply—so you can spot the right partner.

-Release old patterns—so the past doesn’t dictate your future.

-Step out of fear, become whole, and open yourself fully to love.

S.A.L.T. is the faith-aligned, life-changing framework hundreds of believers have used to attract, build, and sustain godly love.

Step into your worth and embrace it boldly.

Love Starts With You helps you claim your value in Christ so that you approach relationships from a place of strength, not doubt. You’ll craft a “clarity collage,” partner with a supportive accountability buddy, and receive guidance from love coaches and prayer warriors. Each practice reminds you: you are whole, worthy, and ready to receive love. By affirming your identity, you no longer settle for less than you deserve. You radiate the kind of love that naturally draws the right partner to you.

Lead your love life with purpose and intention.

Leadership in love means taking action, setting standards, and confidently navigating the dating world with faith and discernment.

TESTIMONIALS

What Graduates Are Saying

Love Starts With You helped me dig deeper and gain perspective I never expected. It reframed my whole life story and taught me how to communicate and listen better in relationships. Each session was unique, and the vision board exercise was truly transformative. I now share it with the dates, and it’s helped me connect on a new level.

I thought I knew myself, but this program showed me I hadn’t truly understood my needs, my emotional responses, or how to bring my whole self into a relationship. Love Starts With You gave me the confidence to approach dating grounded in God’s values and my authentic self, not just my assumptions. I now enter relationships fully prepared to give and receive love in a way I never thought possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this course just for men or women?

Love Starts With You is designed for both men and women, of any age. The course focuses on understanding yourself, clarifying your values, and preparing your heart for healthy, fulfilling relationships.

Is this course just for singles?

This course is for everyone—whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married.

If you’re single, you’ll have the chance to connect with “buddies” to practice and apply what you’re learning. If you’re in a relationship, you’ll complete the course independently while sharing your insights with your partner, fostering personal growth and strengthening your bond.

No matter your relationship status, the outcome is transformational. You’ll gain the tools to experience God’s design for love in every aspect of your life.

Is this faith-specific?

Yes. Although people from any background can benefit from this course, it is Christ-centered. We pray, reflect, study Scripture, and invite God into every step.

Whether you’re standing firm in your faith, feeling distant, or longing to rekindle your walk with the Lord, this course will guide you into a deeper, more personal relationship with Him. As believers, we know that loving God comes first. Without His love at the center, we cannot fully love ourselves or others.

How much time does it take?

Plan on 1–2 hours per week over 6–8 weeks. You can move at your own pace—but the more you lean in, the more you’ll grow.

What happens after the course?

Completing Love Starts With You is just the beginning of a transformation that ripples through every area of your life. Graduates consistently report:

Deeper self-awareness and confidence: they make decisions with clarity, set healthy boundaries, and carry themselves with a new sense of self-assurance.
Improved relationships across the board: from work colleagues to friendships and family, they communicate more authentically, build trust, and navigate conflict with grace.
Preparedness for love that lasts: by understanding themselves and their values, they are able to attract partners who align with their heart, while giving and receiving love in a way that’s joyful and sustainable.

The clarity, emotional resilience, and confidence you gain enrich every connection in your life, and position you to experience the love you’ve been waiting for when the right partner comes along.

You’ll also be S.A.L.T.-certified and plugged into a private, faith-driven support community

You won’t just be ready for love. You’ll radiate it. Be transformed through Christ, and open yourself to the deep, meaningful connection you’ve been waiting for.
