Relationships are full of compromises.

The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.

Compromise is the key element. The more constraints you have, the more compromise you have to have. But, I personally believe that, when that happens, you have to get more creative, and you end up with something that is even better.

In marriage, compromise nurtures the relationship.

The ability to compromise is not a diplomatic politeness toward a partner but rather taking into account and respecting your partner's legitimate interests.

Sometimes compromise is painful.

A big part of being in a relationship or marriage or whatever is you have to eventually compromise. Your life doesn't end up exactly the way you think it's going to, and if it's the right relationship, you might have to compromise what you're doing professionally.

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

To compromise simply means that you go a tiny bit below what you know is right.

Compromise works well in this world when you have shared goals.
