Are you compatible with your boy friend/girlfriend or your partner... Is compatibilty important in a relationship... Is being compatible to each other decrease the chance of misunderstanding? and if you're incompatible with each other will you always quarrel on almost everything... is compatibility a factor in choosing a boy friend/girl friend or a lifetime partner... When you are in a relationship one of the culprit why lovers always have fights is because they are incompatible to each other... Does this hold true... Do you agree or disagree to this observation...

I think that certainly compatibility helps such as common interests; same values etc. but at the end of the day maturity, willingness to communicate and commitment are the keys I guess. My husband and I have similar values and outlook on life although we can be very different in many areas. It’s our commitment to make things work that keeps our union harmonious.

I guess it would depend to what degree and how committed the people involved are. There is an art to agreeing to disagree I think!

Loving God with your entire being, you will do as God compels you to do. Doing as God compels you to do, you will attract/be-attracted-by your soulmate. Staying focused on God's instruction, you & your soulmate will be what you both need to be for each other.

I agree with you. If you love you lover very much but you and he/she is not compatible, this relationship is difficult to keep for a long time.

i agree that compatibility does help in keeping a relationship strong. Common interest would keep you both excited of sharing things with your partner because you know for a fact that both of you would enjoy it. Though i still believe that even people not compatible could still keep the same relationship, it would just depend on how you will accept each other. Love is not all about compatibility, it is a feeling for another person not dictated by what you think or do the same but with what you feel. Even if you're not compatible but you love each other, you can still communicate about your activities and let each other be involved with it. sometimes the love will make you do or like something you don't do or like before.

Thanks.. Yes when you really love someone you really have to accept him/her and learn to adjust on things i agree on that.. but what i would like to know from you guys is.. does incompatibility the reason why partners fight and when your compatible does it reduce the possibility of having frequent fights.. what i mean is constant fights or misunderstanding... i mean daily or every now and then..

First we have to look for the definition of compatibility. Some people may define it as having the same likes and dislikes, while others may think it's having differences that complement each other. When we choose a partner, one of the most important consideration is whether we can spend time with that person talking about anything under the sun without getting bored and wanting to be with that person almost every day. To have this conversation and to feel comfortable with each other is what we call compatibility. That is my opinion, and once you can keep talking to each other and never stop at all, then you can have a lasting relationship.

The reason we want to have a lasting relationship is to stay compatible-you may not in the world of marriage be 100% compatible with your partner, but you must have a level of tolerance around those areas where you are not-so when choosing a partner, dont go for the 100% compatibility, be content with 80% so that you are able to subject the 20% to tolerance!

Being in a relationship with someone is an important step to take. Being compatible with each other is half the battle. i don't belive a relationship can really work without compatibility. i am happy to say that i am compatible with my partner. i don't necessarily believe that all compatible people will quarrel with each other. they are more in tune with each other and that is what you need for a relationship to succeed.
