Research shows that couples who have a lot of similarities, including intellectual compatibility, end up staying together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In our world of rampant 'individualisation', relationships are mixed blessings. They vacillate between a sweet dream and a nightmare, and there is no telling when one turns into the other.
I think when a couple stays together, it's because of compromises they've both made.
Cofounders will endure so much together that their relationship is often compared to a marriage.
The true test of a relationship is traveling together.
When two people in an intimate-couple relationship look at their interactions as opportunities to learn about themselves instead of change each other, they are infusing their relationship with the energy of spiritual partnership.
But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together.
A relationship will be futile if it's based just on physicality. Intellectual stimulation is a must for me.
I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.
Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.
I think most couples drift apart because of comparisons. Unfortunately, in our society a perfect match is when the man is more successful than the woman.
