As a psychologist couples ask me this common question ‘are me and my partner compatible?’ Do you also wonder about this? Watch this video for more on compatibility…
Usually, the understanding of compatibility is when two people agree on most issues, get along with each other, or have similar likes and interests. But how is that possible when we are usually attracted to people who are completely different from us, isn’t it?
Most often the organised and dependable Box personalities are attracted to the carefree spontaneous Squiggles. And the sensitive loving Circles are attracted to the ambitious confident Triangles.
Another way to look at compatibility is when we are able to recognise, understand and most importantly accept the differences with our partner.
Compatibility is when we don’t try to change or fix the other person. Rather we learn about the differences in our personalities and how they show up in our relationships.
