The word “compromise” is seen as such a dirty word by many in our society, but virtually every relationship, if it is to continue and grow, must embody compromise in some shape or form. Giving way, for the right reasons, can be a form of saying, “I love you.” It’s proof that we’re willing to give ground for no other reason than that we value the ongoing relationship more than we do asserting our rights, preferences, or wishes. Compromise is the cement of fellowship. ~ Gary Thomas (from Sacred Marriage)
