• are generally about as physically attractive as one another (this doesn’t apply if one of you is very rich and/or powerful!)

• can talk about their feelings together

• laugh at the same things

• share similar political views

• have the same sort of body-clock – i.e. both like getting up early, or both like staying up late

• have a similar approach to handling money or can at least discuss financial matters comfortably

• have similar sex drives

• respect each other’s religious or moral beliefs

• are of similar intelligence

• have broadly similar ages (age difference less than 10 years)

• agree on whether or not to have children

• make an effort to get on with each other’s friends and families

• join in each other’s interests, or encourage each other to pursue activities that make them happy, even if they do these alone

• allow each other time and space to be alone, or to see personal friends

• take care of each other – especially when one partner is pregnant, ill, tired, or stressed

• hold similar views on how clean and tidy their home should be

• have similar views on celebrating birthdays/anniversaries

• enjoy the same sorts of holidays

• share similar views on issues like global warming, world debt, and giving to charity
