Compatibility and marriage



Looking for someone compatible for marriage? ( or are you looking for someone who can make good roti:-)). Well either way Psychology Today has something to say about that:

"Compatibility is overrated. The similarities or personality traits that attract people to each other may not hold up over time. You might be attracted to someone because you both love to ski, but then one of you blows out a knee. When people are divorcing, they'll say, "We have nothing in common." But they have kids, a house and 30 years of shared experience. Values about money and children run very deep and are important. The surface ones—antiques, sports, travel and gourmet coffee—don't matter. —William J. Doherty, professor and marriage and family therapy program director, University of Minnesota""

What attracted me to my wife was her intelligence and humor, and still is :) Physical attraction wears off over time, but love built on lasting things last.

Ya Haqq!
