Are differences ok in a marriage?
C E Rollins has researched the compatibility question over a period of years and shares important observations about it in this book.

Realizing that compatibility is the mainstay of a solid relationship, Rollins encourages you to take a realistic look at who you are and how you relate before you tie the knot. ARE WE COMPATIBLE? outlines five areas of similarity that are vital to a marriage...
* physical features and preferences
* cultural and family background
* emotional perspectives
* goals and dreams
* values

Self-tests for each area of compatibility allow you to make your own evaluations. Because each of you brings a unique combination of foibles, quirks, attitudes, talents, and qualities to your relationship, Rollins helps you see in advance of marriage where the difficult spots are likely to be and develop means of addressing and resolving them.

This practical and insightful book teaches the strategies for building a long-term relationship. The key to a good marriage -- one that lasts, fulfills, and provides deep inner joy -- lies in being compatible...not just in being enamored.
