What Does It Mean To Be Compatible in a Relationship?

While sparks might fly in a relationship, without compatibility, it’ll be pretty hard to keep that flame alive for the long haul. But what is compatibility, anyway, if it’s not sparks?

Compatibility refers to how well-suited you and your partner are for a relationship, as opposed to love, which is more about the feelings you have for your partner. They’re both essential for a relationship to thrive—but while a lack of love may spell doom for a relationship, it is possible to overcome compatibility issues with lots of hard work and compromise.

If you and your partner aren’t as compatible as you wish you were, don’t throw in the towel just yet! It might just be a matter of developing more of a go-with-the-flow mindset and giving up the desire for you and your partner to be more alike. As long as you have love, your goals are more or less aligned, and you’re able to resolve disputes effectively and efficiently, you and your partner have more than a fighting chance.
