R.A.W. Compatibility: Building Relationships That Last Through Clarity, Chemistry, and Core Values

by Dr. Richard C. Hanzy

Overview

We live in a world filled with connection-but starved for intimacy. Social media, dating apps, group chats, and workspaces put us in constant contact, yet many of us still feel unseen, misunderstood, or misaligned in our relationships. RAW Compatibility was born from a deep conviction that connection requires more than shared interests or fleeting attraction-it requires realness, alignment, and the willingness to do the work.
This book is not about finding someone who checks all your boxes. It is about discovering the kind of emotional, mental, spiritual, and lifestyle alignment that makes long-term connection possible and purposeful. Whether you are single, dating, married, or healing from past relationships, this guide invites you to explore what makes relationships thrive-and what silently tears them apart. At the heart of this work is an invitation to show up honestly, live courageously, and connect intentionally.
I have seen in both personal experiences and years of clinical practice that relationships begin to heal, grow, and flourish when people have the tools to assess compatibility and communicate truthfully. This book is your companion through that process. Not a formula but a framework. Not rules, but a road map. Let us journey together toward a connection that is not just convenient-but compatible and life-giving.
