Separated Conjunction

What makes a good relationship? I have no idea, but to me it seems that so long as two people have complementary long-term life goals, such as how many kids they want, how they want to raise them and how they want to spend there money, then they should be compatible and able to conjoin into everlasting happiness. But, Aye, I concede that we do not live in an ideal world where things are so easy.

Me, I’m open minded about everything, so maybe I just have a poor perspective on how the rest of the world functions. The most boring situation I can imagine in a relationship is where two people have all the same interests. You say you like something, they say they do too, and that’s the end of the conversation. You may go on for an hour about the specifics, but after you both declare identical allegiance to something, what are you really talking about? I think it would be a much better situation, both for your own personal growth and the development of a relationship, if someone says to you, I like this thing, and you say, never heard of that before, teach me something new.

I can only conclude that an individuals ‘likes’ are mere triviality when it comes to determining if they would make a good match for each other, and as I would like to think about it, the greater separation in two peoples social experience just gives them more substance to talk about when they do get involved. I may be way off base here, and if so then I really am starting back at square one. Indeed, in my mind, two people not having the same ‘likes’ is not enough of a reason to justify the termination of a relationship, or even the lack of interest in the pursuit of one. But what do I know? Nothing it would seem.
