Lovewise was started in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2002 by two paediatric doctors and the head teacher of a local secondary school. Together they were becoming increasingly concerned by the number of young people in their clinics and in schools who were suffering from the consequences of damaging relationships and family breakdown.

Lovewise has developed resources on the subjects of relationships, marriage, sex and wise living. These resources encourage them to consider the God-given design of marriage and the wisdom and benefits of keeping sex for marriage.
