A relationship becomes even more compatible when you know more and more about your partner, when you understand each other well, and when you easily feel that you know the other person, and on the other side, the person knows you well. Such a level of compatibility can be achieved when you communicate your feelings to your partner and likewise ask theirs.

“A healthy relationship requires a couple to share similar goals and values,” says Colleen Wenner, LMHC, LPC, founder of New Heights Counseling & Consulting. “And not sharing these could lead to problems later on.”

If you and your partner share similar goals, look at life in a similar light, and at least give each other the same priority, it makes the relationship worthwhile.

No matter the time you spend with your partner, whether it is a month, a year, a decade, or so on, it is never worth the time and efforts if you are not compatible with the feeling. So it is always a good idea to talk to your partner so that you actually know about each other inside out.

“Rather than making assumptions, we can gain clarity and grow closer when we bridge compassion with communication,” says Sam Zand, a psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer.

Communication has the power to bring you closer to your partner; it gives you the liberty to actually know your partner in every aspect, whether it is emotionally, socially, or physically.

It totally depends on you, the type of question you want to ask your partner, what information you want, or in what spectrum of life you wish to learn about the opinions of your partner and their experience.
