Relationship Combatibility Factors
Relationship and Marriage counseling can help you discover how in harmony you are.
The two most important factors that decide how compatible you are as a couple are:
A similar degree of psychological vitality and maturity and a compatible ranking of Instinctual Variants.
What are Instinctual Variants?
The 3 Instincts represent the natural energies or drive that are innately part of us as humans. Our actions are highly engaged with and often dependent on these libidinal, instinctual energies to give it its spark.
Self Preservation Instinct.
People of this Instinctual variant are preoccupied with the essential survival needs as they translate into our modern society, for example, money, food, housing, health, safety and comfort.
Being secure and physically comfortable are priorities, and they will tend to bring these supplies with them.
When entering a room, they will tend to notice lighting, uncomfortable seating, the room temperature, when the lunch break will be, and whether they will enjoy the food provided. They also tend to be the most practical in the sense of taking care of pressing life necessities.
They are the most introverted of the types.
Sexual/ Intimate Instinct.
People of this type have a intense desire for severity of experience and intimacy. The forthright riveting gaze is the dead giveaway. When they enter a situation they gravitate toward people they feel magnetized to, as if they are looking for the juice. These people can be intimacy addicts, often ignoring pressing matters or even basic hygiene if they are infatuated with something that has captured them. This gives a expansive exploratory philosophy to life, but can also generate a lack of focus of one’s own goals.
Social Instinct.
People of this type are preoccupied on their interactions with others and with the sense of value and self esteem they receive from their involvement in collective activities. These include occupation, family, hobbies and clubs.
On entering a room, these people would immediately be aware of the relationships and subtle politics between different people and social circles. They are subconsciously attuned on other’s reaction to them, particularly about whether they are being accepted or not.
They need to touch base with others to feel safe, acknowledged and energised. They tend to enjoy interacting with people, but they avoid intimacy.
They are the most extroverted of the types.
Within each person, one of these three Instincts will dominate. In fact the three instincts can be ranked liked the sections of a cake, with the most predominant one at the top. The weakest one, at the bottom, is termed the blind spot.
These inherent instincts play a pivotal role in our relationships because personalities of the same variant tend to share values to understand each other completely, and therefore feel very compatible.
In relationships between 2 different Instinctual types, each will struggle to convert the other.
