Love (do we have a future together?)
Compatibility involves attraction and sexual chemistry, but these both die down after a few years, and then you're left with friendship and attachment. If you don't have friendship in the beginning, which over time is strengthened through experience, then the relationship generally will fade out. If you want a relationship to last, work on building your friendship: friendship takes time, but it also takes a lot of mutual respect and emotional regulation.
