If you ask yourself that question and still can't come up with an answer, I can assure you it's not love and more of a complacency. If your closest friends have always disliked your previous partners and they love your current one, it may influence how you view the relationship. If you know deep down that your relationship is going nowhere, it may be time to end things. Of course, your partner becomes a confidant and the first person you turn to like a friend, but looking for a best friend as a top criteria in a potential romance will always lead to comfort.
According to Trombetti, you may be lacking lust, chemistry, or fun in your relationship. If not, chances are, you are in a safe relationship with someone who makes you feel emotionally safe but emotionally dull at the same time. But, "just because two people get along, that may not make them romantically compatible," relationship coach Nina Rubin, M.
You may have similar views about marriage and starting a family together, but if you ever have doubts about whether or not someone really is "The One," it's important to figure out why. Even couples who are super in love have their doubts too. But they eventually figure out that love is the reason why they're together.
According to Rubin, "Getting along and doing fun activities may not be enough to hold a relationship together.
The person you're dating may have those similar values, which is great. But that's not always enough to make a relationship successfully last long-term. Your ideal partner will be the person who will be your biggest cheerleader and want to celebrate these victories without jealousy or scorekeeping.
But also, in every life a little rain must fall. Compatible partners feel safe enough to splash in the puddles with one another. It takes a great deal of trust to disclose vulnerable, painful elements of your life to someone so important to you, but the strongest couples can withstand this strain and provide support while working toward a solution.
There is a shared experience when you both come from a divorced family or an intact one, if you both grew up in the same house or moved around a lot or if you grew up in middle or upper class homes.
When someone has a similar upbringing, there tends to be a more intimate understanding, enhanced familiarity and comfort in a relationship. Comfort lends itself toward feelings of compatibility. Healthy couples are great playmates and enjoy being active together. Being active is a time to be best friends, to be outside and to be together. The happiest couples are those committed to their own respective personal growth as well as their growth as a couple.
Your relationship is a place to heal any unfinished business from childhood. This holds true for how much or little one imbibes. However, when one person drinks more than another, or uses other substances like marijuana or illicit drugs, this impacts compatibility because someone gets left behind.
We frequently talk about our future goals together. If someone asked you how compatible you were as a couple, what would you say? How do your political views match those of your partner? We avoid talking politics. When it comes to religion, are there any points of contention? How do you spend your spare time as a couple? When it comes to finances, how does your attitude differ to that of your partner?
As a couple, would you say that you regularly share a laugh together?
