I agree with anon above, but let me add that people getting married need to understand that things change. For example, are you perfectly compatible sexually? Great. Now think about the fact that this is going to change over time. It can change in many different ways, but a common pattern is this: the man’s desire for sex remains pretty constant, a woman’s desire drops quite a bit after she has a few kids and is dealing with those little rascals all the time. Now what?
Are you perfectly compatible financially? Good for you. That’s going to change. Eventually, when you start to make more money, one of you will want to save more than the other. The person who wants to save more will be frustrated by the spending habits of the person who wants to live a little. Now what?
My point is just that you should assess compatibility now, but you should also think about how you will handle the incompatibilities that are definitely going to arise down the line. Sex and finances are the two biggies. They’ll both be an issue down the line no matter how perfectly in synch you are with your “soul mate” today. It’s worth thinking about.
