Compatibility in marriage is of paramount importance for a stable marriage, there are different angles of compatibility. One angle is compatibility in family. In this angle it is not always necessary that the spouses are compatible in their natures. It is often noticed that 2 persons from one family have completely opposite natures. Therefore, the laws of compatibility in marriage should be on the nature of the spouses, even though they may be out of ones family and culture. If the spouses are from one family and culture, and also compatible in nature, then that is ideal.
