What’s Love Got To Do With It? Things You Really Need To Make A Relationship Work
Compromise
You have to know that you will not always get what you want in a relationship – it’s impossible. But learning how to pick your battles and give in once in a while is key in finding balance in your relationship. This is not to say that you should make ALL of the sacrifices in a relationship or that you should be a pushover, but blending lives together requires that you both find a healthy way to coexist, meshing core values that affirm the other person while not diminishing yourself. So if that means he gets the remote when your show is on, go read a book that night. Or maybe your movie choice trumps his. Compromise is necessary in small doses in an otherwise harmonious union. It’s an essential element in a relationship that ensures that both people have their needs met and grow together.
