Search for happy relationship formulas and you’ll find many great tips such as work on communication, accept flaws, forgive and be supportive of each other, and detach from expectations.
However, most lists leave out a very important ingredient that can make or break a relationship: inherent compatibility.
Inherent compatibility isn’t about similar interests, but the unique energy karma, based on your past lives together. The energy can be conducive to a good intellectual, emotional, spiritual, or sexual connection, or not.
A certain degree of inherent compatibility exists between you and every person you meet. Sometimes it’s harmonious and wonderful, and with others, the opposite. Sometimes it’s obvious, and other times you won’t realize how good or bad it is until after the romantic illusion fades and you’ve spent months or even years together.
Inherent compatibility is often congruent with rewarding love karma and favorable long-term love timing.
How to Perceive Inherent Compatibility
1) Look at your first impression, when you met for the first time. Romantic illusion and lust can distort impressions, but if you pay attention, you might notice underlying emotions, good or bad.
2) Observe the natural flow of energy between you. Is it more often harmonious, or the opposite? This is easier when you detach from your expectations of a relationship and your partner.
3) Notice how you feel in their presence. Do you feel comfortable, relaxed, uptight, self-conscious, or uneasy?
The level of inherent compatibility in your relationship is unalterable. But the good news is that you can use your free will to make the most of any relationship.
