Introduction: mate selection is a complex process involving biological, psychological, personal, social, and emotional factors. Objective: to determine the criteria for mate selection according to the relationship time in the parents of students of the Vigotsky Educational Unit in the city of Riobamba. Methodology: a study was carried out with a quantitative approach, of a descriptive observational type. The population was made up of parents over 20 years of age, whose children studied at the aforementioned institution. A sample of 170 individuals was selected using the snowball-type technique. Data were collected using the Romero Mate Selection Scale. Results: The most relevant criteria for partner selection were personality traits (61.8%) and satisfaction of needs (65.3%. On the other hand, attractiveness (80.0%) and the similarity of personal interests (48.2%) were the least considered. Conclusions: It was determined that the low level prevailed in the non-verbal aspects in those ones with less than 10 years of union based on the comparison of the level of importance of the mate selection criteria according to the time of the relationship. In addition, the relationship time was significantly associated with the dimensions: non-verbal aspects, personality traits and needs satisfaction.
