Your couple_query returns a queryset. Even if there's only one result, you're not getting just the one woman, but a queryset object. I think you want something more like:
woman = Woman.objects.get(lastname__exact = 'Test') couple = Couple.objects.get(couple = woman.couple) Note that this is making the assumption that there is only one woman with that last name, and that there is only one couple with this woman in it. I don't know if you just made this up as an example, but if it's something that you're actually working on, it seems like making a Woman and Man model isn't a very good idea because there's so much duplication. Just have a Person model with a 'sex' field, and you have have a foreign key to itself labeled 'partner' or something. No need for a separate 'couples' table. If you really need the address info, there should be an Address model. After all, you may have other things (businesses, etc.) that also have addresses which will require the same validation. It gets really ugly really fast when you have 'address1, address2, city, state, and zip' in a bunch of different models. Possibly with different field lengths and other stuff. Also, I don't know what you mean by not having a technical background, but if you mean you have no application design or programming experience, then I urge you to hire someone to do this, unless this is just something you're doing to teach yourself to program (and if so, welcome!). Despite the fact that Python and Django are far less daunting to learn than other tools, they still require programming ability to do at all, and a lot of experience to do well. Nothing personal -- I just wanted to point out that database design and application design are definitely not trivial and shouldn't be done by someone with no experience if this is something needed by your business.
