In this episode of the Dr Psych Mom show, I discuss compatibility as a concept, and specific areas of compatibility that I have found to be very important in determining whether couples will be happy together. There are some extra areas for second marriages, because you'll be spending so much time together without kids in the house one day. I also answer the question: do people really ever change in these key domains? Should you just stop dating someone that doesn't meet these criteria, or should you have some wiggle room?
As for the links I promised: here you can read about compatibility in first marriages and in second marriages, and here is my post on knowing you deserve a better partner than one who treats you poorly, in reference to my marathoner example at the end. Thanks for listening! Please subscribe and follow me on Facebook!
