What would you choose for a relationship?

They say "love isn't enough" but why not ?! I never understood that since I was never in love. I was like love has to be a part of why a relationship works I mean I look at my parents and they're opposities as hell but they love each other so they make it work. Finally, I understand what that saying means because I have fallen in love for the first time now but I still don't agree with it. I've never felt something so emotionally strong take over me from feeling so happy and satisfied to non stop crying when things go south. When you love hard, its gonna hurt like shit. One of the things that made us liked each other are the similarities we have. But some of the things that break me are the differences we have. We might not be super compatible but we share a few similarities that hold us together but we also share our feelings for each other. It has been a rough ride and it might sound like the saying "love is not enough" to make our relationship work but it has been about a year and a half and what always makes us try is how we feel for each other. Plus at the end of the day, I rather be fighting with him than be happy with someone I don't feel that powerful emotion for. But apparently, some people would prefer that route; to choose compatibility over love. Compatibility is a logical process as opposed to love being an emotional process, according to Mark Manson. So what would you choose especially considering your history w love? I go with love. I don't think just compatibility will hold me with that person for very long. It didnt with my ex, it was miserable trying to be with someone I genuinely and emotionally didnt want to be with. But with just love? That will.
