Ways to know if you and your partner are meant for each other

Compatibility in relationships is very important. Believe it or not, compatibility should be of more priority than love when it comes to relationships.

If you have a list of things you want in your spouse, he/she can check all the boxes when it comes to physical attributes, but not behavioral.

1. You can tolerate each other’s flaws.

No man is perfect! That’s true, but as humans, some things are easily ignored than others. Never be in a relationship with the mindset that you can change all the habits you cannot tolerate.

Identify the habits you can live with and the kinds you cannot tolerate.

“To be great partners, you cannot expect perfection. Everyone has their quirks and flaws, and to be healthy together you need to make sure you see these imperfections as endearing. Marriages break up over an accumulation of ‘small stuff.’ Do what you can to love unconditionally,” says Sherrie Campbell a licensed psychology.

2. You share the same core values.

If you share the same core values, then making decisions for your partner in his/her absence would never be an issue. This is because all decisions made would be guarded by those values.

If integrity and honesty is your watchword, you word never do anything to jeopardize it.

According to Clinical psychologist and sex and relationship therapist, Megan Flaming, sharing the same values is like having the same inner compass.

“When the going gets tough, like it does in all relationships, knowing that you share the same core values makes difficult decisions easier because you both have the same inner compass. Core values are the foundation of a strong relationship.”
