Family relationship experts have long talked about the benefits of compromise for family relationships.
There is even a rule of "flexible justice". This is the very trick that allows you to improve your relationship in a couple.
Compromise
This trick can help out in any situation, even if partners cannot come to a common decision when choosing how to spend a free evening.
In such cases, most often one wants a sense of novelty, while the other partner is a supporter of the usual way of life.
By following this rule, partners will be able to make a decision that satisfies both of them and at the same time increase empathy.
Compromise prioritizes relationships over specific situations. That is, it focuses partners on maintaining a connection rather than on winning an argument.
When to compromise
1. If the issue that has arisen is important for the partner, and he insists on it.
2. If it is a fair decision that involves concessions from both sides.
3. If the relationship in the couple is balanced, i.e. the partners take into account each other’s needs and capabilities.
And when is it not possible?
Firstly, if your personal boundaries are violated.
Secondly, if you are humiliated or otherwise harmed, which affects the mental and emotional component of the relationship.
Thirdly, if you are the only one who is able to compromise. In such cases, it is necessary to reconsider the existing relationship.
