Does Compatibility Matter?

There are websites today that offer assistance in finding a soulmate, one with whom compatibility is more or less assured. How is this done? There are compatibility tests and personality profiles which can be administered by a trained Christian pastor or counselor.

However these tests do not guarantee relationship success, for they cannot measure truth and honesty. The reason for relationships’ failure is that conflict takes dominance over compatibilities. Every relationship has incompatibilities, but if these become predominant, the relationship is in danger of failing.

It’s imperative to recapture the positive attributes of the one you have loved and cherished. Refuse to focus on issues of incompatibility, and instead, embrace areas where you are compatible. Listen, as Ephesians 2:4 advises you to “be completely humble and gentle, patiently bearing with one another in love and peace.” 

Commit yourself to God’s way.
