Love does not always equal compatibility from "summary" of Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay by Mira Kirshenbaum
Love can be a powerful force in our lives, capable of bringing us immense joy and fulfillment. When we are in love, we often feel a deep connection to our partner that transcends the physical and emotional. We believe that love alone is enough to sustain a relationship, to overcome any obstacles that may come our way. However, the truth is that love does not always equal compatibility. Compatibility is about more than just love. It is about shared values, beliefs, goals, and lifestyles. It is about being able to communicate effectively with your partner, to resolve conflicts in a healthy way, and to support each other through the ups and downs of life. Compatibility is what allows a relationship to thrive over the long term, to weather the storms that inevitably come our way. It is possible to love someone deeply and still not be compatible with them. You may find yourself in a relationship where the love is strong, but the compatibility is lacking. You may have different values or goals, different communication styles or ways of resolving conflicts. You may find yourselves constantly at odds with each other, unable to find common ground or to move forward together. In these situations, it can be tempting to believe that love will conquer all, that if you just love each other enough, you can overcome any differences that may exist between you. But the reality is that love alone is not always enough. Without compatibility, a relationship will struggle to survive in the long term. It may be filled with conflict, resentment, and frustration, leaving both partners feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. So, if you find yourself in a relationship where love does not equal compatibility, it may be time to take a hard look at your situation. Ask yourself if you and your partner are truly compatible, if you are able to support each other in the ways that matter most. Consider whether the love you feel is enough to sustain you through the challenges that may lie ahead. And remember that it is okay to acknowledge that love alone may not be sufficient to make a relationship work. Compatibility is key, and it is worth striving for in any partnership.
