Do you share enough in common with your partner for the relationship to last, or do you not think it's that important and don't effect you either way???

I have quite a bit in common with my fiance, but we also have some separate interests as well. I think it's good to have a balance between things in common and differences to make a relationship work well. If we had everything in common, I think we might get bored with each other. If we had nothing in common, on the other hand, I don't really know how we could function as a couple. I think that two people need something in common to do well as a couple--otherwise, the relationship is likely to be short.

I think I share enough in common,not much but enough.We both like sushi and we don't like burgers or fried food.We like going to the gym and running.But I really think opposites attract more!like how I hate his choice of music and his liking in furniture but we get along just fine,we've been together for almost a year now!

Yes, too much in common might not be such a good thing, I think it takes a healthy balance:-)

i think it is important~ for example, we love reading and when we met in the very begining,we will go to the library together~ and we enjoy movie so much ~ we will go for a movie and share some feeling with it~ we love travell,and go out for a journey frequently~ so~~ i think it help us to love each other more and more~

i think the person with the best answer has it right on point. you have to have the same values and belief system for the most part. so what if you don't like the same books but if you don't have the same beliefs as far as raising the children and money, the two things that will kill any relationship and turn love into hate, then you are in big trouble. you and i have things in common and we have the important things in common life family.

We share quite a bit in common, and it does play a part in how long a marriage will last. Especially when it comes to morales and values. If those are too different, problems are bound to split the couple. Maybe at first, Love will keep things strong, but its the common values and beliefs that will get the couple through the rough times that are inevitable in any relationship.
