 Hey everyone. We'd like to give a big thank you for supporting us. Psycho's vision is to make psychology more accessible to everyone. Today's topic is on five signs of relationship compatibility. Ever wonder what makes a relationship long-lasting? Chemistry often attracts us to potential partners, but beyond initial attraction, relationship experts agree that compatibility creates a bond that stands the test of time. Are you dating and wondering if you found the perfect match? Or are you single and hoping for a long-term relationship in the future? These signs of compatibility will help you identify important aspects of a healthy, lasting relationship. 1. You feel comfortable being yourself How do you feel when you are around your partner? Do you both have the freedom to let your guard down? Or do you have to hide who you are and pretend to be someone you think your partner would like? Whether it's your sense of humor or your love for certain hobbies, the right person will admire the unique traits that make you who you are, just as you would admire the unique traits they have. 2. You share core values While it's normal for you and your significant other to have differences, a sign of relationship compatibility is that you share important values. It's nice to share a favorite sports team or a love for coffee, but having similar views on life, money, family, and more help to establish a bond that goes beneath the surface. Research studies find that having similarities create attraction and uncover more points of connection in a relationship. You don't have to see eye to eye on everything, but being able to respect each other's views and find a common ground brings harmony. 3. You can enjoy time apart A healthy relationship is all about balance. You cherish time together, but you're able to maintain the relationships and responsibilities outside of your romance. A healthy relationship will allow you to flourish as you juggle school, work, family, and friends. Also, being able to spend time apart allows you to miss your partner and appreciate them. In the end, a compatible relationship makes your life better, not worse. So what is your relationship like? 4. You're committed to each other In a compatible relationship, there's a clear sense of commitment. Many of us have been through the sting of a one-sided romance. We have a video discussing the signs of a one-sided relationship if you'd like to watch that later. Couples who have the same vision for their relationship and put out equal efforts make a happy, compatible relationship. You should be able to have fun together, trust each other, keep promises, and have open discussions about where you are. In a compatible relationship, you don't have to question where you stand. 5. You bring out the best in each other One of the best parts of a compatible relationship is that you're able to help each other grow. So, do you believe in the relationship and in each other? A 2006 study found that couples who support each other's good news had a positive impact on the well-being of their relationship. Whether you're working towards a dream or enjoying a recent success, you and your partner are able to validate each other, celebrate each other's accomplishments, and help each other learn and push each other to reach your fullest potential. Compatibility doesn't mean your relationship is perfect. It means that you're able to enjoy a healthy bond that allows you and your significant other to grow together and build a relationship that lasts.
