Knowing one another's medical history is highly important and should be first ascertained before establishing any form of commitment or intimacy, but this may be difficult to come by where couples are afraid to talk to themselves openly for fear of rejection or abandonment.

For medical compatibility to be ascertained, marital partners need to be able to talk to one another nakedly without shame, as openness is always the key to awareness and the route to true acceptance.

Social compatibility is needed for all-round acceptance in a marital relationship, as the absence of this could predispose a couple to abuse one another's basic human needs or rights, which include a need to socialize.

Social compatibility in marriage is hereby defined as a form of connection between the marital couple, which makes each of them comfortable with their kind of friends or association, family background and the social influences from their hobbies and lifestyle.
