I think we need to add emotional connection to the mix, since it is super important. Chemistry gets a relationship going, but is not long-lasting. On the other hand, emotional connection is the real glue that binds two people together and is built over time. Compatibility is the set of values/goals that determine if you can be a couple over the long haul. Compatibility tends to be the more functional aspect of a relationship. But, you need all of them to be successful. Of the three, I would say emotional connection is the most difficult. If you only have compatibility, then you are friends.
@@coachkatedurocher Keep up the good work, Kate! I lived in Houston for many years and once worked for a company in Austin. Now, retired in Ireland and love psychology-related topics. Love the intro video.
Absolutely!! But also I’d say it leads to something better even. It leads to respect, trust, a deep connection based on a foundation that isn’t fleeting. It can build to so much!
nope.. chemistry, connection and compatibility are different things. body/mind/lifestyle. without chemistry you're just friends, without connection you're just friends with benefits and without compatibility you won't want to live together.

@@americanexpat8792 this means so much! I hope Ireland is amazing, can't wait to visit someday
thanks for such a clear explanation
Absolutely! Had to spend a lot of time making sense of it in my own life
Does compatibility lead to chemistry?
Absolutely!! But also I’d say it leads to something better even. It leads to respect, trust, a deep connection based on a foundation that isn’t fleeting. It can build to so much!
What during the first kiss you feel nothing, does it mean there is no chemistry at all?
Not necessarily - chemistry sometimes takes time to build and it can be built through compatibility first too
nope.. chemistry, connection and compatibility are different things. body/mind/lifestyle. without chemistry you're just friends, without connection you're just friends with benefits and without compatibility you won't want to live together.
