How important is compromising in a relationship?
921875
Compromising is EXTREMELY important.  Two people are never going to agree on everything.  Just remember if you compromise, and do something you don't want to do, he/she may do the same for you.

Why do you fight? What do you fight over?\n\nPerhaps you should be the one to compromise first

Trust, (Love), Respect, and Companionship are the keys to a healthy relationship.  An initial "spark" is a must, but in the end a relationship will not survive if it does not have TLR & C.

Yes, yes, and yes.\n\nInterest (or care, or however you define the opposite of indifference) and honesty should be the foundations of all our relationships; even casual ones.\n\nAnd what is a serious relationship, if not one with a special level of fidelity?

I have been in your situation before. To keep things settle and not push him away, it will be best to leave things as they are and let time change his mind. Let each day go by and then he can realize the true you, well i am not saying that you are not being true, but he will realize that you are not out to harm him in anyways and the same for you from him. I know it will be hard not to mention it at times, but a man doesn't want to feel rushed into things like "commitment". Some are just terrified of it. Continue to have an open communication level with him so he knows that he can trust you. Good luck...and hang in there.

it's ok to disagree. i prefer to verbally challange each other on topics, so that you can gain some insights that you have never thought of. you can understand your partner better. \nbut i think listening & respect are more important. it makes maturity.

A little selfish are we? I have no idea but I thought you may want to consider compromise as part of the deal when or if you find out. You know a little time spent listening to your stuff then a little time spent listening to theirs?

I think everyone who is committed feels like they want to be free sometimes.  You have to realize that you are committed and before you go to someone else you have to end what your in the middle of FIRST.  Being in a relationship is worth it but you have to work hard at it.  AND BE FAITHFUL.

It depends on what context you're talking about. But in any relationship, romantic or just a friendship, trust is always an important thing to maintain. It's easy to lose someone's trust, but not easy to earn it back.

Be open, responsive, and willing to compromise. It isn't always easy, but if u can do this, your relationship will stay strong

No.  Honesty is the most important thing in a relationship.  Once that is lost, everything else will soon follow.

Your talking about being with this person for the rest of your life.You both need to get everything out in the open.Talk about what you want to do in the future,and what both your interests are.Ask them what do they like and want and work towards those things together.Some things they want and like,you may not want or like,but if you too really love each other you will adjust and work it out.Compromising is a key ingredient in marriage.

Compromise, compromise, compromise. My husband and I are both very stong willed, hard headed individuals. But when you learn the art of compromise it a breeze! It is hard not to always be right all the time, but then how fair would that be if you were all the time? Good luck!

If he cares about you then nothing will seem that strong.  Usually though if guys want to make a commitment, they will be the one to tell you.  Your happiness is on the line.  If he is ready to commit, then he will. If he isn't ready then he won't and then you can make your decision as what to do, whether to move on or stick it out.

If the relationship is going to have a future be honest. It's something taht should be said, but not until you have established a trusting relationship.

You can use the word commitment and open relationship in the same sentence and believe this could work...Committing to someone takes all of you, not some of you...Share in this case does not equal to truly caring for one person, emotionally and physically...Open relationship are doomed from the start, one should be able to give all of oneself to one person, not several, what a headache that can be...And heck it hard enough holding one relationship together without interference from others....\nFriends with benifits...someone always get hurt in the end....

Compromise.\n\nAlso, it's about being the bigger person as well. If you give, then ultimately she will be willing to give as well. Love is measured by sacrifice, and God told man to love his woman as Christ loved the Church. He died for us. Remember that.\n\nSo if you selflessly give yourself, your woman will have no other choice but to give back, because women are emotionally tuned that way. It's true. If you read the Bible, you will never see the words "Woman love your man." \n\nI've been there.
