re: Divorce Board Spin-Off: If you have been married, why did you get married?

quote:

---

communication, compromise and willingness to understand the other persons view/opinion, and accept it - maybe not agree, but accept it.

if you cannot communicate, the relationship is DOA. Compromise with each other, be willing to meet 1/2 way where you can. forgiveness is up there as well. not for the major things like abuse (any form) or infidelity, but for the little things.

That makes sense. Especially the communication part. Which probably needs to begin before the marriage, but as you pointed out it's also important to realize you're going to disagree on things but that doesn't mean you can't have healthy compromise.
