Ensuring Compatibility in Your Relationship

Compatibility is a word that you hear often today. You hear it and read it in regard to computer programs for example. "This software is compatible with Windows XP." What that means is that the piece of software in question can live in harmony with your XP version of Windows on your computer. One will not keep the other from functioning as it should.

Compatibility in a relationship is pretty much the same as compatible software programs on your computer. The two people in a relationship do not prevent each other from functioning properly.

Simply put, compatible pieces of software are compartmentalized. That is when one piece of software is in charge of a function, the other software doesn't interfere with the process.

Men have always been better at compartmentalizing their lives than women. Many can do this so well that they simply do not see how what happens in one part of their life should have any bearing on what is going on in another part.

The fact is that in a truly compatible relationship between a man and a woman both need to realize that everything that they do either directly or indirectly affects the other and compromise is the most essential tool to insure compatibility.

Compatibility between a man and a woman means that they accept the fact that each has obligations and responsibilities that, although they affect the other, really has nothing to do with the relationship itself.

In a word, each must allow the other 'space' in which to live. Every minute of every hour or every day cannot be accounted for and it shouldn't have to be. If the man OR the woman in a relationship stops for a drink with their coworkers on the way home from work, it is not an affront to the relationship. It DOESN'T mean that they would rather be with their friends than be with you. Their coworkers are NOT more important to them than you are.

Now, the man or the woman who chooses to stop for that drink with their coworkers should have the common courtesy to notify their significant other that they will be a little later getting home.

Neither party in a relationship should make plans for the other without prior consultation. Neither should accept a dinner invitation with friends for example without checking first. The other could already have made plans.

The bottom line here is that to ensure compatibility in a relationship, both parties in the relationship must give their partner space to live their lives and they must both show common courtesy to the other.
Jealousy is a green eyed monster that is famous for wrecking otherwise compatible relationships. Jealousy is rooted in self doubt and low self esteem. In order to maintain a compatible relationship, jealousy and the need for control need to be banished. You must give your partner space and show them simply common courtesy and they must be willing to do the same for you.
