Relationships are full of compromises.

Research shows that couples who have a lot of similarities, including intellectual compatibility, end up staying together.

Well, because we're so different as people. And it's that difference that probably also makes it easy to stay together, because we don't get in each others way.

But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together.

Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.

Relationships are eternal. The 'separation' is another chapter in the relationship. Often, letting go of the old form of the relationship becomes a lesson in pure love much deeper than any would have learned had the couple stayed together.

I think most couples drift apart because of comparisons. Unfortunately, in our society a perfect match is when the man is more successful than the woman.

I was a firm believer that if you get married, then that should be it. But it's sadly not always the case; sometimes people can't remain together for whatever reason.

In general, the problem in a relationship is when the couple stagnate.

Unless you are willing to compromise, society cannot live together.
