1) When you met your partner did you have a lot in common?
We met in High School and became very close very fast. We had a lot in common and what we didn't we supported even if we weren't interested. Almost 19 years later, we are still like that and it works for us.
2) How important is having things in common in a relationship?
It is important to have things in common with your spouse. However, you don't have to have everything in common. You just need enough to have fun and have things to talk about.
It's nice to have someone that likes the same things that you do. But, it's also nice to be able to do things on your own or with someone else.
3) Can a relationship ever exist with a completely different person?
Unless you want to be in a relationship with a stranger, I don't feel that it would work out in the end. How would the relationship work if a guy likes watching football all weekend and the girl hates sports? Or, if the girl likes watching horror shows/movies and the guy doesn't like them? Or if one likes to go out all of the time and party while the other hates going out? What would the conversations be about? What would happen on dates? How would both parties feel complete if they can't share what they love with the person they are with?
