Love is all about compromise.
Every person is meant to have set of principles that guides their daily living. The principles that you set out for yourself are personal and alot of people do not wish to bridge this principles.
When you find yourself a partner, are this principles still personal? People fail to realize that when these principles were set, their partners were not part of their lives.
So are these principles suppose to change ? Maybe because of an emergence of a new person in your life. Can't this new partner of mine adjust to my principles?
This mindset of your partner coping with your principles if they really love you, I wonder where we got it from but sincerely it doesn't help. It makes it seem like our thinking is really low.
You are forgetting your partner could also be with the mindset that, if my partner loves me enough, he/she will adjust every principle so I can fit in. Some wouldn't even try to put in efforts so as to align with their partner's principles.
Well the end point is, when the is an addition to your life, in terms of a life partner, your principles have got to be adjusted. I know not all principles can be adjusted.
In this case, the other partner should admire the fact that his/her spouse was able to adjust some of the principles and try to fit into whatever cannot be adjusted.
Let's realize that a relationship that refuses to practice compromise will not survive.
