My view on compatibility between life partners As far as the compatibility is concerned btw two potential life partners, it is utmost

important to me. I'd say: Marry only to one who is mentally, emotionally and socially compatible with you. Take time reasonably, to feel the connection, and listen to your intuition too. Hobbies and value system should match as well . Both should have spent similar amount of time in the same or similar environment s, since two different environments seep through us unconsciously and force us t o act in a certain way. If a person doesn't have similar tastes and values, he/s he won't be compatible and comfortable with the other person. He will go into ot her direction and she will in another. Both will pull each other in different di rections. Energies will work against each other, resulting in total loss and fru stration. Some people are simply different and act in different directions accor ding to their upbringing. About 30% to 40% of difference in personality/compatibility is OK and healthy bt w partners. More it rises, more difficult it would be down the road. For man, outer (physical) beauty is usually number one consideration while choos ing a woman. Seems pretty natural. But the wiser man prefers inner beauty, then gives second priority to outer beauty if he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. What good is it if you cannot stand each other no matter how beautiful the other person is? (S. Ali)
