In every relationship, you always come to a point where you ask yourself if your chosen partner is right for you or not. Say you like strawberry ice cream and your partner like vanilla. And since neither would want to stock the fridge up, World War 3 breaks lose every time at the supermarket. Hehe. So that may be trivial and extreme, but hey, once in a while, differences in tastes and attitudes do matter.

Compatibility is a very delicate issue. You’d want to think that this person you’re with now is really the one you’re supposed to be with, or just another mistake in the making. How can you tell? Well, there’s a lot to consider, but let these help you.

It’s normal for couples to have arguments every now and then. But you have to qualify if your arguments are constructive or just pointless bickering. When two adults have different opinions on one issue, a constructive argument paves the way to reaching a compromise and finally, an agreement.

Bickering, on the other hand, weakens a relationship. It does not do to fight over the same issues again and again.

How often do you fight? Every fight is emotional. But just like an earthquake, even though your fight scores high on the Richter scale, what matters is how soon you can recover from the tremors. Arguments should be controlled every time with absolutely no tolerance for name-calling or yelling because an intense fight can lead to rash behaviors and maybe even violence.

What are the things you argue about? Review the issues you fight over and see if they are really worth an argument. There are things you will never agree on but you have to learn how to respect each other’s individual differences if you want your relationship to last.
