In this episode, I discuss how coincidences with our partner can be exciting ways to feel a special connection with them. However, I go into the differences between sharing in coincidences from our life stories and being compatible with our partner. I emphasize the importance of compatibility between partners and discuss how couples with high levels of compatibility might differ in their overall relational satisfaction than partners with lower levels of compatibility. The reward associated with personal and relational growth is highlighted for those couples who have to work harder to understand one another though.
