💬 Episode Notes:

Many people view compatibility as a key marker for relationship success.
Compatibility reflects areas where you and your partner align naturally without constant struggle.
Change is inevitable — both partners evolve over time, making “perfect compatibility” unrealistic.
Every marriage has areas of incompatibility; it’s how couples handle them that matters.
Modern culture often assumes incompatibility means a relationship should end.
True compromise doesn’t mean one person loses — it means both adapt while preserving what’s important.
Healthy negotiation requires emotional maturity and communication skills.
Learning to navigate differences together builds stronger, more resilient partnerships.
