COMPATIBILITY DEFINED

As simple as that may sound, Persaud believes most people don't know themselves well enough to realise what really makes them tick.

"In my opinion, around 99% of divorce is due to the fact that people are very attracted to each other but are not actually compatible in the long term.

"They always start off their marriage thinking that their attraction to each other will triumph over their incompatibility - but it is always the other way round.

"The key is not to commit to someone for what you hope they might become but for who they already are," he smiles.
