The Truth About Compatibility (5)

This article takes the opinions of many different professionals about their idea of "compatibility." It's something not a lot of people can agree about, but it is something that turns up not only in our private lives but also in our public lives. A lot of people seem to have trouble getting love, or holding on to it. This article tries to help.

This article brings up the idea that compatibility between two people is made, not something you're born with. It's something you have to work for. Nancy Slotnick is quotted in this article, saying "I think you can have an even more fulfilling relationship if you respect each other's worlds, and learn a little bit from each other." A lot of the proffessionals say that it is about personality, and not only about having the same personality, but being with a person whose personality is one you can get along with.

This article didn't do much to hold my attention. A lot of stuff on the first page didn't stand out to me as profound or important. It was mostly just the stuff they give you before getting to the meat of the story. And the meat of the story wasn't so great, it was just quotes from a bunch of other people, which also seemed unimportant.

It didn't bring any earth-shattering new ideas to the world of psychology. It's more focused on specific people and the idea of "love" and how some people may define it. It does bring up some new ideas on how to define love and compatibility, but it wasn't something that seemed very important to me.
