Have you ever wondered how compatible you are with your partner? if you have to rate it from 1 to 10 where 10 is perfect compatibility and 1 is no compatibility what would be your rating? and how did you come to the conclusion? It would be interesting to know what rating your partner would give for the same.
I think I am 7.5 on the 10 point scale in compatibility with my husband. I give the high rating because we seem to have similar thoughts about general things in life and we respect each others difference in opinion and are always ready to understand each others point of view and then decide on which way to go.
The 2.5 points that I took off were because at times we seem to be on different planes. My husband is an extrovert and I am an introvert. he is highly active outside the house ( also inside) but I am more comfortable being in. This difference often makes me feel I am blocking him up and he is not able to enjoy his life outside as much because of me.

I think my husband and I would rate about an 9. The reason I feel this way is him and I prefer to spend our time with each other. Very rarely will you find one of us with out the other one. We pretty much see eye to eye on most things and get along very well. He is my best friend as well as my husband. He completes me and makes me want to live a better life. We go hunting and fishing together and both love to travel and experience new things together. I would rather spend a bad day with him then a good one with any one else.

I think my husband and I are an 8. We have almost the same exact personality. We're both goofy and love laughing. We're both sensitve and emotional..sometimes to a fault. And we're both stubborn as H. We share the same beliefs and have very similar thoughts of life. Family is extremely important to us and we try our hardest to have a happy one. We both learn as we go...all you really can do.
The 2 points I took off were because while we have almost the same personality our tastes are completely different. I love watching movies, he'd rather play games. He'd rather play guitar while I dance. I'm optimistic and he's pessimistic. The differences could go on and on.
What makes it work is the meshing of our similarities and our differences. You have to understand each other and respect the other's opinion.

Thats why I am still single .....and prefer to be one ........
But yes I consider GOD as my life partner.....
So I rate 9 out of 10 ....compatible with my life partner thats GOD.....
Because GOD speaks less and I speak more......ha ha ha ha lol... just reverse of your case ......
Let me come to you.....see u would be surprised to know I read in some book that ....a introward person should have extroward partner and vice versa because they supplement each other .......
So you have right partner .....
Enjoy your life ..........
Thanku
Ganesh

Well, according to all the charts and things I have ever looked at, my husband and I are not that compatible. He is very out going and I am not. We have very little in common, well, not when we first met, anyway. But, I have to laugh when I see compatibility quizzes and such. We have been married for 30 years. I have to give our compatibility a 9. We are still friends. He still makes me laugh (and cry, sometimes). He is a loving father and husband, and provider. While our marriage took place for the wrong reasons, on my end, I have grown to love a man who was madly in love with me, never gave up on me, and the hope that one day I would feel as strongly for him as he did for me. I only give it a 9 because nothing is ever perfect. It is as close as it gets, though.

my girlfriend and i are probably a 6. the only reason being is that im very hard to get along with. i get bored very easily and can get pretty demanding at times and she is stubborn and has no patience for things like that. we argue alot but it always ends well, and we have a good time together. and besides she is hot...and just for that i can give her all the points she wants.

Exactly the opposite case is of mine.. The rating will be the same for me although we love each other and because of that love we got married , but still we respect each other's view in life . We know that is the only way to live with relations..I love to be respected though I have difference with her..

Id say about a 7 in my relationship. We have enough in common that we get along very well and can actually have interesting, intelligent discussions without either agreeing on every point or disagreeing totally. We have just enough differences to make things interesting and not totally get on eachother's nerves lol. I think most couples have to have at least some things that they don't totally agree on, different interests and ideals, or else they either fall into a total rut or one partner is giving in way too much. I won't say all because everyone is different and sometimes relationships work in wierd ways, but for the most part there has to be at least some conflict for a relationship to be healthy.

Ours is about a 9...we never argue, we agree on everything, and we both have outgoing personalitys. Usually we do everything together, and are on the same page. We pick and poke fun at each other, but it is all with a good heart. We get through our days just enjoying one another. The 1 is because we do have different views on certain things, but we respect each others opinions and ideas. Overall I think we are extremely compatible.

Human nature will always put you at odds occasionally. A woman is naturally a home maker and nester.the man is naturally the hunter and gatherer. This is as it is intended. This is all natural and as it should be. I think you should give him those other points.

hi poona, i will give us an 8 ~ the balance 2 is saved for our shortcomings and some minor things .. We are not the same at all but we accomodate ourself and adapt to the other .. i like cold drink ~ he likes hot drink ~ there a simple example. We are like jigsaw puzzle - we fit each other and yet not the same. He has his alone times with his friends, i have alone times with mine , and we have jolly good together times as well
So both of us get the 8 for being accomodative
cheers

We are pretty compatible. I mean we have different interests. He is a country boy and I am a city girl but all of my past relationships have sucked cause the guys were selfish and this one is definately not. He loves me and gives me what I need. So I would say he is a 10. We have the same goals in life so that helps too.
