Dr. Neil Clark Warren, a clinical psychologist, leading relationship expert and founder of the online dating network, www.eharmony.ca, shares with us his scientifically-proven set of compatibility principles on how to build and sustain a satisfying relationship. Read on to discover it's not nearly as difficult as you may think!
"Great relationships begin with partners who know each other fully, thoroughly and intimately." -- Dr. Neil Clark Warren.
1. Learn to communicate at a deep level
Many couple keeps their communication on a superficial level. They may have discussed life histories, goals for the future, how many children they would like to have and so on. But, as important as this information is, they may not be aware of deep-down drives, motivations, fears and joys that compromise a partner's "emotional essentials."
2. Get a wide range of experiences
Sometimes couples have not gone through the variety of circumstances and situations necessary to really know someone. They simply need real life experiences together -- a routine of work and play, excitment and monotony, stress and relaxation. Get to know each other away from situations where you're always looking and feeling your best.
3. Talk at length about your parents and extended families
By far the most important learning we receive from our parents comes from our relationships with them, and these ways of relating, communicating, and
problem-solving are carried into our own relationships. Therefore, explore your partner's family relationships, and you'll gain a wealth of understanding and insight.
