i strongly agree with you, its really important to know the kind of person that suits you better....
i mean alot of people just go into relationships because they feel its cool to do so and apparently they only agree 1% and disagrees 99%.
its just best to take your time

Nothing to add here, totally agree with you. :)

That's OK, I later remembered that I had read an article on the BBC by an Nkem. Not me though :)

Kpele, I saw it signed Nkem... and I immediately thought it was your piece. Goes to show you that I think you a really good writer anyhoo.

I think, generally, core beliefs and values should be aligned; personality type, temperament, etc, are the places where opposites can complement and sustain each other.

For example I would never be with anyone who doesn't share my faith. Also I don't think I could be attracted to someone as introverted as I am. That has never happened. So opposites do tend to attract, but in core areas it's important for a couple to be on the same page. Whatever the formula sha, hard work is an essential ingredient.

2012-01-19T05:53:54.516-08:00

I certainly agree about complementary personalities. My husband and I are so different but our differences work very well. There's certainly no competing against each other. Instead we work together using our individual strengths.

It will definitely be unwise for anyone to think to choose their partner without much care. And yes, agreeing on certain core key issues is very necessary. That makes the differences much easier.

Yes indeed, Ginger. Such major differences are usually deal breakers for a lot of people and I agree they should.

Hmm, Myne i used to believe that opposites attract o, but hmm i think it should be over less serious issues like sports, hobbies, occupation, fashion sense. Opposites when it comes to faith, money saving patterns, then that's a recipe for heartache

2012-01-18T10:32:42.395-08:00

Very well said, and I agree that it is important to know your partner's personality and be accepting of the difference. However, you can't just pick anyone off the shelf and expect a good chance of being able to accept the differences.
BTW, I'm all for compatibility. Not so much when it comes to love though. Compatibility is like a base block. Standing on that makes it easier to climb over obstacles. The more compatible a couple is, the less there is to not see eye-to-eye on.

My piece? Hmmm...not sure what this is about?

2012-01-18T07:01:04.859-08:00

Yup! Certainly right. One of my favorite quotes and life philosophies is that “It’s our differences that make us useful to one another. Think about what you fly. If everyone was a pilot, who will service the people on the plane? If everyone was serving the people, we’ll never take off! Find the strengths and build, play, live on them.

I think no matter how 'compatible' are initially, people change over time and challenges crop up. Hard work is key!

2012-01-18T01:36:49.355-08:00

Thanks for your contribution. I think the key word in your comment is flexibility. And that is where I understand LDP is coming from. If the two people involved are flexible, they can easily work on their incompatibility. But yeah, some differences are and can be too big to surmount. Those are called deal breakers.

Happy New Year, Honeydame. Very integral. The good thing is that it can be fun if you make it so.

2012-01-17T23:18:51.102-08:00

I counldn't have analyzed this better Myne.However,i disagree with LDP saying there isn't such thing as compatibility.Fact is,there is.The reason is because sometimes little things are what either make or break relationships.Again,like the quote rightly stated "If you hate sport,you probably shouldn't pair up with an athlete" (I paraphrased though).There,interest is the key point.If my interest conflicts with yours and most times my point of view conflicts with your and you happen to be static rather than flexible,there's no point in us being together.I can attribute this to cooking,depending on the meal,you'd know what ingredients and the measures to use.If one is trying to make 'eba',you cannot use more water than garri.This is my own little contribution.

2012-01-17T20:31:59.379-08:00

WORD!!!!!
I totally agree with both Myne and LDP. The key word is the hardwork. No matter what any psychologist or pyschoanalyst says, HARDWORK is still an integral component of ANY relationship.
Happy new year to you Myne.

2012-01-17T17:58:02.494-08:00

Thank you LDP. I like that quote and completely agree with it. In as much as the couple come to a relationship with various expectations, they can work at them with humility in a way that suits each other.
