4 Key Steps to Know If They’re Right for You
Matthew Hussey lays out a four-level framework for deciding if a romantic partner is truly right for you, arguing chemistry alone is not enough.
The gist
-
Hussey's four levels are admiration, mutual attraction, commitment, and compatibility, with compatibility being the most important and often overlooked.
-
Strong chemistry can actually reflect anxiety and an unpredictable partner rather than real connection, Hussey says.
-
Commitment without compatibility can cost you your health, finances, career, and emotional well-being, Hussey warns.
-
Attraction can grow over time with a compatible person, so Hussey reframes this as consciously choosing someone rather than settling for less.
