Is Love Enough to Keep a Relationship Going?

Okay, let's talk about these seven areas of compatibility. Number one, are your goals compatible? In other words, do you want the same things as this person? Do they want the same things as you? Do you want marriage? And they also want marriage in their future? Do you want kids? And they also want kids in their future? Do you see yourself living where you live now in the city that you live now? And they also see themselves living in that city? Wanting the same things is highly underrated when it comes to the dating process. So many of us focus on attraction, how great we feel in someone's company, but we don't actually focus on the fact that someone is telling us that they want very different things than we do. And if that's the case, there is a real danger that over time, this person is going to make us incredibly unhappy.
