Conclusion

Of course, this is all a matter of opinion and statistics. Only you can know if your relationship is based on proper compatibility. The most important part will always be your willingness to work things out regardless, from both sides. If you are willing to put in the energy to help a relationship grow over time, you will be better placed than two people who are “perfect for each other”.

Free Dating

I totally agree. I was with someone who was in so many ways different from me but we were so in love with each other. But eventually we had to go our separate ways because our differences caused us to fight all the time. This is what I learned from our failed relationship: one thing that gets in the way of a relationship is pride. It is either one is too proud to admit one’s mistake or one is too proud to forgive. A simple misunderstanding can blow out of proportion because of pride.

The Biggest Issues

When thinking of the biggest issues, it will come down to the things you want out of life versus the goals and desires of your partner. One of the biggest causes of breakups/divorce seems to be a lack of communication on this subject leading to misunderstandings later on. People will claim they had no idea their significant other felt a certain way, and things will spiral out of control from there. For example, if you are hoping to have kids but your partner is against it or even just undecided, it isn’t wise to have one side decide they will compromise on the issue. Eventually it will put unnecessary strain on the relationship, and things will end well after you have developed a life together. You should also take into account the core of your personalities. If both parties are rather aggressive and stubborn, they may not be as compatible as a couple who have a more passive partner along with the aggressive party. Having personality types that mesh and compliment one another is key.

The Loveawake Approach

I have never used Loveawake dating site, so I can’t attest to their effectiveness. However, I read an interesting post on their blog that circulated a couple of sites last year. According to them, they had found members with the greatest compatibility seem to agree on three different questions: Do you like horror movies? Have you ever traveled around another country alone? Wouldn’t it be fun to chuck it all and go live on a sailboat? At first when I read this, I thought it was completely insane. What laughable questions for a compatibility test! But the more I thought about it, the more it made a strange kind of sense. Think about it…what do those three things tell you about a person’s personality on a deeper level? It speaks about whether they like thrills or a more relaxed environment. Whether they are adventurous or more steady in their habits. What their priorities are in life, and how spontaneous they might be. These are three great ways of determining how two people might get along in the future. That doesn’t mean that someone who is a major horror buff can’t have a great relationship with someone who has nightmares after telling campfire stories. But it might show too many differences if they exist, and give you a place to explore when asking the question of whether or not you have anything in common on a deeper level.

Why Compatibility Matters

If this process could happen with anyone, then why does compatibility matter? Actually, more than you would think, given the process of successful marriages. You have to have a good foundation to build on, and two people who are not compatible will have a rough time creating that. Many even find it impossible. One problem many people run into is understanding what qualifies as real compatibility. It is all well and good to like the same music and movies, or to enjoy certain activities together. But there are elements of the personality that are much more important when it comes to two people meshing
