Is family incompatibility really relevant anymore ? I don't see many couples living with their parents in the same house. Also, if you are from different countries - chances are even if your families are completely incompatible - language barrier and geographical distance will make this family incompatibility irrelevant (If there is no common language between the families, it simply isn't possible to directly communicate). Its a lot more difficult to sort out personal incompatibilities and expectations. Especially the expectations part, which is always a moving target...
