There is no way
romantic relationship would work out where there is no compromise (conceding to
something or an argument you know you should have won). Anyone that wants to be
successful in building great relationship with the opposite sex must understand
that times will come when he/she will be required to shift grounds; not because
he/she is
weak or being manipulated, but because it is necessary for the
success of the relationship and the relationship requires it to sail smoothly.
Compromising is a
vital part of every relationship that anyone intending to have a successful
relationship should be willing to do. People that always stand their ground
don’t go far in the relationship journey. Relationship can hardly thrive in an
environment where everyone is always holding to their views and way of doing
things.
If partners in
relationship could be able to separate those things that are important and
necessary for their life as individuals from those things that spring up as a
result of ego and selfishness, there would be fewer fracases in most people’s
relationships. Inability to distinguish between those things you should hold on
to and never give up on; because they help in forming who you are from those
things that are not part of your make up create some of the confusions most people
encounter in their relationships.
Always saying ‘this
is who I am’ or ‘that’s how it should be done,’ etc. means that you’re not
ready to take your relationship to the next level. Or maybe you don’t consider
your partner worthy enough to give up that thing for. Most of the arguments we
encounter in our relationships are as a result of one partner not willing to
let go.
No matter how
important you might think your views are, it would do you and your relationship
a great deal of good if you could learn to put your views aside sometimes and
listen to the views of you partner. You love him/her, right? Compromising on
issues sometimes is one of the ways you can show your partner that you truly
loves him/her and values your relationship with him/her.
If you really
want to have a successful relationship, compromising on things you know
wouldn’t cost you much should not be a problem. Even if it would cost you very
much, that is one of the sacrifices we pay for being in love with our partner.
