What does it mean to be compatible to you?

to me it means to compliment another (and not in the "you look really nice today honey" sort of complimenting)



It's a sort of synergy between two people... an ability to see the others needs without explicitly being told and being able and willing to step in and fill those needs... so when one goes to wash the dishes... the other automatically steps up with a dish towel and begins to dry them.



However, that is an oversimplification of it as well... for compatibility goes beyond just that. Compatibility also is being completely comfortable with the other person... there is no such thing as an awkward silence. Just the fact that this other person is in the same room as you is enough to make you smile.



That said however, there is another side to compatibility since life is never so perfect that "we all just get along all the time every time"... when two people are compatible they are willing to work at their disagreements and work together for the relationship because they realize that those few and in between moments when you are together in a room where there is that satisfying silence where you know you are fully accepted and loved and no words need to be spoken... are more than worth the struggle of all the days when it seems the other person is set out to ruin everything (or so it seems).



wow... now that I reread what I wrote... that didn't really clear things up now did it LOL. Ah well I tried!

...that temperaments, traits, behavior are complimentary. Whom each one can be honest with because there is assurance of acceptance. I think partners learn to lie or just skip telling the truth because of fear of being misunderstood. That maybe some quarrels start with one just wanting to be honest. I mean the repentant way of being honest not that honesty expressed in such a way to hurt. I believe compatibility leads to living together harmoniously. That the two are looking at things the same way. Unlike when two have different views that what is nothing with one is momentous with the other.
