how much u should?

Question

compromise in marriage till what extent

Answer 1

you should both compromise to an extent when you are both happy with the outcome. Please note the word BOTH, when only one partner is compromising, that is when the marriage will start to have problems.

Answer 2

Marriage is about compromise. The extent is up to you, however it should not be one sided. It's difficult to say 'how much' or 'how often' you should compromise. If you or your partner are suppressing the others lifestyle or pleasures then something needs to be done about it. Talk to your partner and express your feelings. Don't go through life being miserable or making others miserable.

Answer 3

To the extent that you do not have to break certian principals you believe are are honest and right. Marriage does does need both to compromise.The moot question hopw much you think happy married life is important to you . If compromise strengthen the bond betwen you two make it. It is all a question of priority , and preferance. No one should loose their self esteem - Value wishes of the partner and sacrifice and do not swat the small flies..

Answer 4

Until you can't stand it anymore.

I know my answer sounds trite, but both partners should be willing to compromise as much as possible. The hard part if getting your partner to read and agree to this. Then there are limits that each person has to establish.

My mom stopped smoking and wanted my dad to as well. He did for a while. When he took up smoking again he went outside to do it. I have seen this compromise in several marriages. The women didn't want the smell in their house. They put their foot down and the smoker went outside to smoke.

You need to sit down and talk this out. Find out what your partner can't stand and tell them what you can't stand. For example he may want to enjoy his Sunday Football game with no interruption. Fine, that's a good time to go window shopping, especially during the Super Bowl. However, he should make a compromise himself something along the lines of making Friday night a date night where your husband takes you out to eat or to see a movie. You can make the same compromise for say the guy's night out. If you have a problem with him dumping his dirty dishes in the sink an you can't stand that then make your stand. But, pick an issue that matters a lot to you and him.

Compromises have to be done on a two way street. If one partner is willing to compromise then the other should as well.

Answer 5

Its very good question you have asked.According to me compromising is must in any relationship but ofcourse to some extent .You can't just become slave to your partner.In every relationship the best characteristic is to forgive and forget.But if something is really unbearable like your husband is not loyal to you or you find him cheating or if lied to you in something really major then you should sit down and tell him that you had enough of it n now its unbearable.But again if you have a huge heart and you love your partner you can give him/her another chance.But yes fighting on suspicions and tiny little things would definitely ruin everything.

Answer 6

The hope for a happy, fulfilling marriage to the person we most deeply love is one of the most entrenched desires of men and women. Happily sharing our hopes, dreams, fortune and the breadth of life's experiences in the most intimate way is one of the most fulfilling endeavors of all.

How can husbands and wives "join" with each other and make their relationships loving and lasting? Simple actions like hugs, kisses and pledges of love build and strengthen the bond God intended for marital partners. When husbands and wives constantly work at building their relationship, they find it easier to agree on workable options in settling family disagreements. Some people think love is a magical, mysterious emotion that two people fall into or out of for no apparent reason. The truth is different: Loving relationships must be nurtured. They require effort. Love is care and consideration directed toward another person, not just an ethereal emotion over which we have no control. However, the work involved in building and preserving the marital bond is well worth the time and effort. Husbands and wives who are committed to this process often describe their marriage partner as their best friend. This is simply another way of describing the kind of bond God desires for every marriage.
A marriage exhibiting this godly bond is characterized by two people who are willing to listen and talk about their differences or problems in a spirit of humility. If they cannot solve their problems on their own, they seek counsel because they value their relationship and don't want to lose it.

When genuine love and respect prevail in a marriage, the husband and wife learn much from each other. Each brings strengths into the relationship. For example, wives often excel in relationship- related needs. Husbands often have a strong orientation toward problem solving. Husbands and wives who become aware early in their marriage that each brings strengths to some aspects of their relationship and discuss how they together can use those strengths to their mutual advantage gain the most from His instructions.

Marriage is one of the most wonderful gifts to mankind. It is a treasure worth working on, cherishing and sustaining and it takes two to Tango, there is no limitations, restrictions or quiskfix solutions you learn "on the job" and with experience Good Luck

Answer 7

The very best marriage advice that my husband and I got before we got married was not to go 50/50 in our marriage, but to go 100% / 100%.
This is excellent advice. You go all the way without expectation. You are giving of your heart completely and you can not be disappointed when you love unconditionally. You make the decision to be happy. Marriage IS work and it is worth it!

Really 50/50 is so selfish and someone is always unhappy with that outcome. Love shouldn't have a tally sheet!!

Answer 8

It depends on your relationship and what you agree on. A lot of people say 50/50 but c'mon. How true do we hold that? I think it fluctuates. Sometimes he gives 40 % she gives 60%...sometimes 70/30. It depends on circumstance and situation. However it goes 100% needs to be put in. It's rarely 50/50. Either he has to pull up the slack or she does. As long as someone is, it's cool.

Answer 9

It should be 50% 50%
if you can't agree on something then you have to find a compromise in the middle somewhere... just don't be greedy!

Answer 10

Well...it should always be 50%!! but then again we tend to think we're compromising more then the other person, so be careful before u fight with him over that!
