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.
