Why Compromise Is Important in a Relationship

     One cannot be selfish in a relationship but they must also put themselves first from time to time.  More so, your partner should also do the same to ensure the relationship is healthy.  The best way to do this is through compromise.  Compromise is a settlement between two or more parties for one situation to benefit the parties involved.  In this case, compromise in a relationship involves allowing the other person to be happy while also thinking of your own happiness and keeping the relationship alive.  Sometimes, this can mean doing something for the other person you may not be pleased with, such as allowing the other person to do something they want to do when you wanted to do something else.
     As long as you allow the other person to be happy and vice versa, the relationship will be much better off.  Selfish people do not create the greatest of environments for a relationship.  If you put yourself first most of the time, chances are your significant other will get tired of being neglected and move on.  However, you do not want to live a life of pleasing another person while putting your own happiness on hold.  This can cause you to resent the other person, making yourself believe that it is their fault for always taking but never giving.  You need to find a balancing between your happiness and theirs, compromising as much as possible to make both of your lives fun and exciting.  Without this, there is a high chance the relationship will not work out.
     When you sign up for a relationship, you give up the freedom to always put yourself first.  You still have that option, but the relationship will go nowhere.  If the person you are with is worth it in your opinion, then do what you can to maintain the relationship while also doing things you want to do.  Communicate, compromise, and grow as a couple.  That is how a healthy relationship is created.

Three Life-Long Lessons to Remember #2

     Do you need a reminder of what is important in life?  How about the proper way to handle a situation when feeling angry or stressed?  If so, you have come to the right place.  If you know these bits of information already, just remember its important to be reminded every now and again.  So, without further adieu, here are three life-long lessons to remember #2. 1. Money Isn’t Everything      Wouldn’t it be nice if tomorrow, you won the lottery?   The sheer joy you’d feel would probably be something you’ve never experienced before.   What would you do with the money: buy a house, go on an exotic vacation, quit your job?   When this type of pleasure flows over you, the possibilities feel endless.   No matter what you do, being financially free would make you happy, at least for a while.   Eventually, you would want something more than just financial freedom.   Having money is great, but what ...

The Meaning of Thanksgiving - a Few Words to Remember

     Tonight's blog will be shorter than usual due to Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to leave you guys with a few things to remember.  Thanksgiving, or any holiday for that matter, is about family, friends, and making memories, wouldn't you agree?  Personally, I love being able to see my extended family, even if it's for a short while.  The holiday season is, to some, the only time they are able to get together with family and enjoy their company.  Sometimes we need to be reminded of this, so we remember to enjoy the time spent together.  Even if you do not get along with some of your family members, times like these are perfect for making amends if possible.  Do you have any memories like this?  If so, I would love to hear them in the comments.  Overall, remember that Thanksgiving is more than just about eating but sharing a moment with those you love.  Happy Thanksgiving everybody and I hope your day is filled with food, fa...

The Importance of Giving PT.2 - the Dos and Don'Ts

     Should we expect to be praised for our deeds or to receive nothing in return?  Does ego play a role in generosity or is humbleness a necessary mindset?  A year ago, we talked about the importance of giving and how beneficial it is to both the giver and the receiver (Link here if interested:  https://scanlonblogs.blogspot.com/2018/11/blog-8-giving.html ).  We also talked about how happiness comes from giving and helping others and how material wealth only goes so far.  What we did not discuss is what we should anticipate and the proper way to behave throughout the process.  The art of giving involves understanding the dos and don'ts based on the situation at hand.  Not every instance of generosity will include the same factors as the previous one.      Do you believe kindness should be met with a reward?  I personally believe it depends on the situation, but we should never expect to be rewarded.  If you g...
