Marriage thrives when partners are willing to compromise from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, PhD,Nan Silver

One key ingredient in making a marriage work is the willingness of both partners to compromise. This means being open to meeting in the middle, making concessions, and finding solutions that work for both parties. Compromise is not about giving in or giving up on what you want, but about finding a way to navigate differences and conflicts in a way that respects both partners' needs and desires. It requires a certain level of flexibility and understanding, as well as a willingness to let go of the need to always be right. When partners are able to compromise, they are able to avoid unnecessary power struggles and conflicts that can damage the relationship. By working together to find common ground, they can build a sense of unity and partnership that strengthens their bond. Compromise is not always easy, and it may require both partners to give up something they want. However, the ability to compromise is a sign of maturity and emotional intelligence, and it can lead to greater satisfaction and fulfillment in the marriage.
  1. Compromise is about putting the relationship first and recognizing that it takes two people working together to make a marriage successful. By being willing to compromise, partners can create a more harmonious and loving partnership that will stand the test of time.
