Are You Compatible With Your Partner?

If you take this test you will be asked questions such as desire to get married, outlook on having children. Maybe you will wonder, how accurate are the Compatibility Relationship Tests? Does it determine the true compatibility for your relationship?

You can take free online tests, but in my opinion those tests are sometimes full of fluff and hype. Basically there are things that you should keep in mind when it comes to relationship compatibility. First, when you start dating someone, it is not the right time to ask questions to determine compatibility. You have to see someone you just start to date as a prospect for a long term relationship partner.

Bob Grant, a relationship counselor with over fifteen years in relationship and couples counseling experience explicitly says in his book How to Find The Man of Your Dreams, that women do not know what to talk about on dates one, two and three and thus making the mistake of trying to determine compatibility too soon. He says, while on the first date, those questions that women typically ask men are not the ones that will get you a second date and a long term relationship to follow.
