Its believed that the marriages are made in heaven , but it needs to be worked upon on earth. Before marriage both the male and female have a perfect picture frame of their would be partners. But after marriage when the reality dawns and hallucinogenic belief breaks one gets frustrated and discontented.This is where there's need of understanding what we term as compromise.We need to adjust with each other, accept the shortcomings , provide comfort and do a perfect situation analysis to keep the marriage going. In doing each of these somewhere we compromise.I have seen husbands turning vegetarian for the sake of their wife, wives giving up career for upbringing the kids and sometimes taking up work to provide monetary comfort to their family. The essence of leading a happy life has its base in compromises from both the spouse and ofcourse to a limit. Non acceptance or stubborn approach towards each other will only lead to dissatisfaction, arguments , unhappiness and maybe the end of marriage.
Compromise exists in all relationships, what varies is the amount.
