Why Compatibility Is More Important Than Chemistry | by Jay Shetty

Ever get caught up in the chemistry of a relationship, only to realize later you weren’t compatible? Jay Shetty reminds us that most of our visions of compatibility and chemistry come from the media. We expect one person to be everything in our lives, but that’s not possible.
In this video, Jay Shetty explains three foundations to compatibility: the ability to communicate well, common personal goals, and honesty and comfort in expressing one’s soul with each other.

    This is it man. This is why it's very important to date PAST the romance stage of a relationship before getting married. What is your s/o like once the sparks have faded? Do the two of you survive the stage where the sparks fade and you start withdrawing from each other? Etc.

You need both or deal with eventual divorce or a lifetime of unhappiness! Also depends on the person. Some people don’t care much if there’s chemistry and for those super logical minded people then it may be fine. But proud who are more connected to their emotions and feelings you better know that chemistry and connection matters very much!!!

    This is SO TRUE. I met this guy on a trip and we INSTANTLY gelled. I was head over heels. Finally someone I clicked with and someone who understood me. Same culture, same sense of humour, same family structure, similar interests.. HOWEVER we had different "goals" or "visions" in life, which is why it didn't work out. He wasn't immature per se, but he wasn't as mature as me, and thus did not share the same set of core values as me. (Despite being from the same culture) Although I noticed this, I naively brushed it off because I really wanted it to work between us. But ultimately it couldn't because we were in different stages in life. To cut a long story short, I broke my own heart by investing my energy into a relationship, that i could CLEARLY *SEE* wouldn't work out. I should've listened to my gut at the first red flag, but I didn't - and paid the price later. It's very easy to be fooled by chemistry, so don't be. Always listen to your intuition, it will never misguide you

We were very passionate early on and I thought we had chemistry back then. We got married after all, but I guess people forget and/or change. I don’t understand why people can’t get that back.

My father was raised in a family that would consistently beat him in the name of "discipline". My mother grew up being spoiled and sheltered almost every turn. (spoiled with no offense intended. She was just treated very well) yet here they are now, still raising me and my two siblings for 18 years. Those are my thoughts though. In the end, everything else you've said, I absolutely agree.

    Chemistry can be developed even if you don't have it at the start. A lot of it comes down to how much you are willing to give/compromise out of your love for your partner, and not how much you can get out of your partner. Your partner (or you) may suddenly change one day, are you just going to breakup/divorce because they're not compatible with you anymore? Of course not.

    Lasting relationships, whatever their nature, are best built on common ground. Most people take this to mean shared interest in music, movies, or recreational activities. As meaningful as those things may be, it's far more important to share principles, values, and a vision of the future- where you want to go and how you want to influence your world, together. You can have a "relationship" without compatibility, but it will only last if you're also a good fit. -me

But let me tell you. This relationship is coming to an end. There isn't an ounce of passion. Not a drop of chemistry. We aren't United soul mates for which we breath in our desires of one another. We are simply bonded by friendship. It is far from terrible yet it's not even close to good. Be careful people. That spark in your eyes when you see a specific someone could mean more than you think.

He says they accept each other - their commonalities and differences - as they are and they can work around the latter. They're honest about who they are to each other and are able to communicate their goals. Looks fade, he said, so you need to be able to have other interests that unite you.

    Mad Hatter It doesn’t have to exclude each other. It just usually does. Intensity comes and goes. Like tidal waves, its always up or down. Consistently is almost the exact opposite. Many people who are intense are also either emotionally unstable or unavailable. So it’s important to really understand what is causing the intensity in the person or relationship. If it’s coming from a healthy place then go for it!

    In my estimation chemistry is when you can be in the same room with that person you care for without a word being said and be absolutely content simply with their presence nearby. That is my definition of chemistry and is very important. Spirit recognizing Spirit and the future will reveal compatibility, I believe both are needed.

    This is the torn in the side of relationships, and why romanticizing love is such a damaging experience for many young people today. It took many books, but they all seemed to have one thing in common; that compatibility comes before chemistry. The chemistry of my relationship - the intense dopamine and oxytocin rush - has long faded, but with it has deep intimacy, visions of a bright future and complex communication taken it's place, and it has enriched my life more than the intense honeymoon phase could ever do.

If that person isn’t ready for the next phase than reality hits and you learn to fight the urge to want to stay and move on. Time keeps moving forward if you think about it too much eventually tike leaves you behind. “You can never go too far when you can’t come back home again”

    My worst breakup was when someone who said he would communicate through problems (I was smart enough to talk about it early) broke up with me when I pushed him (not super kindly, I would admit, not badly, just not warmly) about a goal he had mentioned. He got scared and then backed away without trying to fix anything. And in our breakup, I tried to open up communication by reminding him we both valued it, he gaslighted me next by saying “no amount of communication or anything else would have changed it”. Good learning that some people are just not capable even when they promise things. I had apologized and given him space and was open to talking about how we communicate, but we were not compatible in ability or willingness. Still hurts a year later

    You tried your best. You cannot force things in the end if the other person isn't willing to compromise and try to understand your side too. It has to be a two way street. A ships needs a team/crew to keep it afloat, and a team means working together which is important in every kind of relationship in life. With time you will definitely feel better as you learn more about yourself, and eventually find the one that is compatible with you. Things that are meant to be in the end will be. You will be okay.
