Most of society thinks that compatibility means enjoying the same things. Okay, so two people love to exercise. Compatibility, right? Wrong. Why? Because one's idea of enjoying exercise is by running at the track, while the other's enjoyment is lifting weights. WHILE the one that loves running isn't into lifting weights and the one that loves lifting weights isn't into running. That equals NOT compatible. It's actually 90% compatible when BOTH respects the differences though. True respect is both can be 100% honest with each other about everything without running the other person off. Does that mean you're meant for one another as life mates when that can be achieved? NO. Why? Because you also have to factor in the other 10% of what you haven't learned yet. 10% sounds like no big deal, but that is the deal-breaker at the end of the day. SO, start with figuring out that 10% first. You can only get there by being fully honest to yourself, taking responsibility for your perspectives, etc, etc, etc. That 10% work you have to do for YOU is way harder than all the rest.
