: Re: How far do I need to go to show "fit" between two "dating" characters? In my work, my goal is to show that the hero is a better fit for the heroine, than the two men she married (or agreed

Use contrast.

Put her into a situation with "unfit" person
Have "unfit" person act in a way which causes conflict with her
Describe how the behavior of "unfit" person annoys or harms her
Put her into almost the same situation with "fit" person
Have "fit" person act in a way which is favorable to her
Describe how she enjoys the behavior of "fit" person

This situation doesn't have to be anything plot-critical. It can simply be a disagreement about something which shows that their views are too different or one which highlights a personality flaw of one person while highlighting a personality virtue of the other.
