Does compatibility play a significant role in relationships? Can incompatible people still be happy together?

So many times incompatibility as been stated as the reason to end marital relationships. Does it mean that people with opposite views and with attitudes that are poles apart cannot live together happily?

I think this is one of those ying and yang kind of things. If two people fit together like glue, meaning the other one has what the other is missing, then yes. Basically that is a match made in heaven. What stinks is when people try to force relationships. Relationships cannot be forced. They can we worked on, but if you are forcing a relationship, then it will surely fail.

Compatibility doesn’t mean that you have to be same like the other half, it means more like having a same personality, values and character. Because with those qualities you can understand better each other and without understanding, respect and tolerance no relationship will last to reach happiness. Incompatible people can be together, but I doubt that they can be happy.

Hey, that's my mother's name... My uncle and aunt are a good example. They are known to be the most incompatible couple but still they managed to pull it off for more than 50 years now. He has known to be a physical abuser beating his wife for the smallest of stuff and weird male chauvinist and what not. My aunt had to bear every damn atrocity and she wouldn't tolerate him either. It's all about just accepting each other in spite of the negativities. It also depends from person to person. We can't generalize. And, my aunt and uncle have supported each other in spite of being "incompatible". :-)

In order to make things balance in a relationship you have to look for traits in someone else which you don't have but aspire to having. By doing this you make the relationship complete and balanced so I believe both compatibility and incompatibility are required in some form or another for a relationship to be successful.

If you are not compatible with each other, you can still be in a relationship but it will get rough. Besides, what is your definition of compatibility? If it's about liking the same thing, having similar interests or hobbies, than it's not that important as long as you both accept and respect each others differences. If what you call incompatible means constantly bickering, not understanding or refusing to see the other person's point of view then get ready for a big rocky wild ride.

Opposites often attract. People need to have their own interests. If not, they spend every dying minute with their S.O and get tired. Being with someone, while still retaining who you are and your own personal interests is a boon for relationships.
