Hi Liza.

I think it’s more of what’s traditionally expected. I remember when my girlfriend had to go back to work and her husband became responsible for looking after their 15 month old daughter, simply because he works from home.

He just found it so very hard because taking care of kids just doesn’t come naturall to him. I’m sure most men share the same sentiments.

Excellent article and advice. I think that most of us do not analyze these aspects of our relationships, and just go with our hearts. That’s a BIG mistake for future happiness.

Well, your tips seem to be pretty common but nowadays in this world, common sense is so uncommon. Thanks for putting those tips down here. I have shared your partner compatibility tips with my friends. After all, knowledge is only useful when it is shared!

I think one of the best questions one can ask themselves about a relationship is, “can I stand this person in my space on a daily basis?”

I have known men who were great as lovers and temporary devotions, but I would have never taken them into my home on a permanent basis!

I think so, I remember when I was in marriage counseling I basically agreed to almost everything that I needed to because of that ‘romantic’ feeling.

Do you think these compatibility tests are popular due to the tendency for people to avoid thinking about practical day to day living issues in favor of “romantic” feelings?

I do agree that lack of compatibility can be a big issue and this needs to be carefully sorted out before a permanent institution like marriage is entered into.

Some good points, we don’t agree on some things but we are content to disagree. I think in a second marriage children/step children can be a big issue and it needs to be clearly understood that they have to be put first. We have 6 (3 each) and life with 5 teenagers and a 9 year old can be a bit challenging at times!

We are fortunate. We both have children who are grown, and see eye to eye on a lot of things.

Those thing we don’t agree on don’t really get much attention.

I agree with most of what is said here, I find conflict for me and my spouse in that we are both on the same wavelengths where career is concerned, but we have conflict because someone has to be at home with our child and he thinks it should be me.
