Build a family, by design.
Muave matches women with gay men who share one big goal: raising children together. It's the modern lavender partnership — chosen openly, planned honestly, and built to last.
A very old idea, finally done honestly.
"Lavender marriages" have existed for over a century — but historically they were arrangements built on secrecy.
Muave flips that history on its head. Today, women and gay men are choosing each other openly: as best friends, committed co-parents, and legal partners who want to raise children in a stable, loving home. No pretense, no hiding — just two adults designing a family on their own terms. Muave is the first app built specifically for finding that person.
Matching built around a shared future, not a swipe.
Lead with your family vision
Profiles center on what matters: how many kids, parenting philosophy, finances, living arrangements, and timeline.
Compatibility that counts
Muave scores matches on the questions co-parents actually face — values, money, location, and family plans — not just shared hobbies.
Real people, real intent
Identity verification and intent screening keep the community serious, safe, and focused on the same goal.
Get to know each other properly
Secure in-app messaging with guided conversation prompts for the big topics, so nothing important goes unsaid.
From match to family
Guides on co-parenting agreements, legal considerations, and paths to parenthood — so you go in with eyes open.

Asked often, answered plainly.
When does Muave launch?
Muave is in final development, with iOS and Android releases on the way. The fastest way to hear about launch is to drop us a line — we'll notify you the day it's live.
What exactly is a lavender partnership?
Historically, a "lavender marriage" was a marriage between a woman and a gay man. On Muave, it's an open, intentional partnership: two people who choose each other as co-parents and life partners, with complete honesty about who they are and what they want.
Is Muave a romantic dating app?
Muave is built around partnership and co-parenting first. Every member defines what they're looking for — deep friendship, legal marriage, shared household, or something in between — and matches on that basis.
Who can join?
Muave is designed for women seeking a gay male co-parent and for gay men seeking a female co-parent. All members verify their identity and complete an intent questionnaire during onboarding.
Does Muave give legal advice?
No. Muave provides educational resources about co-parenting agreements and family planning, but every family's situation is different — we always recommend consulting a family law attorney in your jurisdiction.
How does Muave protect my privacy?
Your profile is visible only to verified members, conversations stay in the app, and Muave never sells personal data. You control what you share and when.
Muave is almost here.
