'Compromise' - hmmm...
That's a very tricky word. It can be good when it helps you avoid the little spats over what temperature to set the AC and what we're having for dinner tonight.
Just make sure that you're not compromising on the big things in life like happiness and your health. We see too many people 'sacrificing' their lives and happiness and 'settling' for less that they deserve - all under the guise of 'compromise'.

From my personal experience, those are frustrated expectations what very often lead to the end of intimate relationships. We fall in love with our own image of the person and sometimes are not prepared to deal with the REAL one.

My advice to someone who is thinking about marrying someone is to make two lists. The first list should contain all the things about the other person that you would like to change. The second list should contain all the things from the first list that you can't live with unless they change. If there is anything in the second list, walk away. You can't change anyone.

Money, the most common cause for a argument, unless your a stripper, don't go there.

Here's what we do :-
Have joint account money which both sets of wages go into, from this pay all joinly incurred expenses, fuel food etc and then from the residue create 2 allowances :- His money and her money. That way you both have the same amount to fritter away and can't argue over it!
