Of love and compromise

"It's not always rainbows and butterflies 
It's compromise that moves us along.." - Maroon 5

It’s a phrase that every relationship can relate to. We all have happy times but for the most part in our everyday lives, compromise keeps us going. We can’t always have our way and it’s also not right to just let the other person have his or her way all the time so meeting halfway is really important in every relationship whether romantic, among friends or family. There are times when we get really frustrated and we just want to stop talking to the person or have time away from each other because we can’t meet halfway. I guess a little distance and time away from each other is good so both parties can gather their thoughts but not too long. Partners should support each other. I remember the advice my sister gave to her brother-in-law during the wedding. These are not the exact words but the thought is this:

Put each other first before anybody else.

Partners should listen and support each other before anyone else because in the end, they are the ones who will be together for a lifetime. No matter what other people say or whatever advice they give, they’re not the ones who will face the consequences but the person/s concerned. It’s difficult because we’d prefer to run to our comfort zones like hanging out with friends and forgetting about it instead of facing the problem head on. It’s good to listen to advice and weigh them but in the end, you must work things out together. Choose which advice fits your situation and what can make it better, not what is the easiest way out.

Most important is to pray to God for guidance and put Him between your relationship.
