Exactly right and if the female or male shall grow to the age of 7 without a child the match maker will come. You just have to keep re connected until the female leaves an egg in each screen. Mine recently did because I have 2 and my parents are getting readying to go away.
It may have been inlove with this other tama but you had to connect it another time or so for them to have a baby together. Other wize the match maker will come and find love for you instead.
