Quoting.
Regarding the thread What kind of similarities are required for a couple to work? where the opening post was:
It is forbidden to discuss religious practices because this is the Love, Erotica, and Sex subforum. Does that mean it's also forbidden to touch upon political leanings since we aren't in Politics, or dietary habits since we aren't in Food or Health, or even music, film tastes, or literature?
I understand that debating whether God exists or whether monotheism versus polytheism is "correct" is pointless here—that would be off-topic and in the wrong subforum. However, as long as religion is being discussed specifically in the context of how it affects the functioning of two people in a relationship, I don't see why it should be banned.

Top_secret_1 said:How much similarity, and in which specific areas, is necessary for a relationship to be harmonious?
Obviously, there are no guarantees, but I assume you all have an idea of what kind of perspectives you’d prefer your partner to share.
Until now, I thought it was essential that my partner at least isn't a hardcore meat-eater or completely oblivious to nutrition, that they be a liberal or at least undecided or non-political, open and tolerant toward all kinds of diversity, not overly materialistic, and perhaps doesn't go to Church every single Sunday... (that's me)
Now I'm wondering—have I perhaps overthought this? Are similarities in these areas truly significant? Are they to you?
And if they are important, how vital are they? Are they absolute requirements, or do they merely make cohabitation a little easier?
