And I think compatible values and worldviews are the most important factor of compatibility. Especially if you raise children. Conservative/regressive values and worldviews are not merely incompatible but antithetical to left leaning values.
When one person believes in equality and the other ranks people in a hierarchy based on e.g., socioeconomic status, identity – meaning one believes all deserve the same rights and the other doesn’t – that is going to be an irreconcilable divide that causes a lot of strife. Especially where those values and worldviews directly influence how you are treated by your spouse.
I don’t even understand this. Shouldn’t people want to be in relationships with people they’re compatible with?
“be more compatible with us while we make no effort”
That sums it up very nicely!
