My late teacher used to refer to ARC - Affinity, Reality, and Communication. She said for a relationship to continue, 2 of the 3 were needed. Otherwise, there were what was referred to as an ARC-break. These can be healed, but require work. This is referred to (or taught) in Scientology (which I do not identify with as a religion, whatsoever). I do, however, agree with the logic that without feeling something for someone, sharing the same views on life, or being able to communicate with said person on a certain level, a relationship would be very difficult to establish or maintain.
