Mini Blog 9 (compromise!)

 Today I really want to talk about how important compromise is in a relationship. Compromise is a huge deal in a relationship because it allows each person to be independent and still be them. If you don't compromise one of two things will happen. You will either end up breaking up, or you will change who you really are just to please someone. Neither of those options sound to good, do they? That is why you can't sweat the small stuff! If you compromise with each other you will be able to have a healthy relationship and let go of the things that really don't matter. Compromise is what allows you to be yourselves in the relationship but still be aware of what the other person's wants / needs are. 

One thing I do want to say is don't use compromise to lightly or to harshly. What I mean by this is you have to find a balance. If you find yourself always having to let your partner "have it their way" then it is becoming more than just compromise. Same goes for the other way, if you never let your partner speak their mind and do things their way then you probably are not the best match for each other. If you really are a good match and want it to work you have to make the effort to figure out what is best to let go and compromise, and what is crucial to you to not compromise on!

I really hope this helps & remember every relationship is different! You have to find what is best for you and your partner.
