Compromise Redefined

Relationship author, Jenn Quinlan, defines and shows us how to compromise successfully in a relationship.

C stands for Communition.The key to successfully compromising and arriving at a mutually satisfying conclusion is to communicate. What one person thinks is a big gesture, the other may no, so talk it out.

O stands for Open Minded. Be sure that you are being open minded and inform your partner that you respect their views and explain and their ability to took at things from your perspective will help you both to understand each other’s needs.

M stands for Main Focus. Always keep the relationship as the main focus and weigh out the issue requiring the compromise. If the compromise one party is looking for may actually compromise the relationship, it may not be worthwhile and sometimes accepting that some issues may never get compromised is the greatest compromise.

P stands for promise. promise one another that no matter what, you each come first in each other’s life and you each must make some compromises to maintain a healthy relationship, but neither person should ever feel that they have compromised too much!

R stands for Respect. No matter what the issue is, one must always respect their partner. If your partner is asking you to compromise, look to the deeeper meaning.

O stands for Optimistic. Keep a positive mind. Happy thoughts and hapiness should follow right behind. Everyone has bumps in the road, but if you keep close at heart the happy memories and the way you fell in love and found each in this world, it may just jumpstart that spark!

M stands for Magic. If your life is full of compromise with each other, work, chores and the kids, it’s no suprise that the magic may begin to dissappear. To maintain the magic in your relationship, do something pleasant, surprising or out of norm. to peak each other’s interest. That will be all you need to get that loving feeling back for good!
