Compatibility and the development of premarital relationships
Article Abstract:
Compatibility in courtship is related to the development of empirical relations between social homogamy and psychological similarity. The majority of the individuals having common leisure interests and role preferences to their partners develop a congenial relationship after marriage. Assortative mating depends on the leisure interests and role performance likings. During courtship, with increasing similarity between the leisure interests of couples, the tendency of men to love and care for their partners also increases.
