In a relationship, compromise is an essential part. A lot of couples experience conflicts that are left unresolved because there is no middle ground to rest on, with each party trying to enforce their opinions over the other.
I admit that when disagreements occur, it can be quite hard to objectively listen to the other much less talk of compromise. Compromise does not necessarily translate to you being wrong but it shows that you are willing to see the other party’s side of view with regards the situation at hand.
For compromise to effectively work, there must be communication between the two parties. Your needs are both important because relationships are a two-way street. This is why compromise does not mean one party has to win while the other loses. On the contrary, it is a win-win for both parties.
We should be flexible in our dealings with our partners and learn the power of compromise. Compromise says “how do I want to make this relationship better?” which is the hallmark of a strong relationship, instead of “how can I prove that I am the right party here?”. At the end of a compromise, you should both feel like winners who have gotten the better end of the deal.
