Compromise is necessary for a harmonious relationship from "summary" of 2 States: The Story of My Marriage (Movie Tie-In Edition) by Chetan Bhagat
In a relationship, compromise is like oxygen. It is essential for survival. Just like how we need to breathe to live, we need to compromise to make a relationship work. It is the glue that holds everything together. When two individuals come together, they bring with them their own set of beliefs, values, and preferences. These may not always align perfectly with each other. This is where compromise comes into play. It requires both parties to give a little, adjust a little, and meet halfway. Without compromise, conflicts are bound to arise. When one person's needs and desires constantly take precedence over the other's, resentment builds up. This can lead to bitterness and eventually, the breakdown of the relationship. In '2 States: The Story of My Marriage', Krish and Ananya come from different cultural backgrounds. They face numerous challenges as they try to navigate their way through their families' expectations and societal norms. At every step, they have to make compromises to keep their relationship intact. Compromise is not about giving up or sacrificing your own happiness. It is about finding a middle ground where both partners feel heard and valued. It requires open communication, empathy, and a willingness to understand each other's perspectives. In a harmonious relationship, both partners recognize the importance of compromise. They understand that it is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. It shows that they are willing to put the relationship above their individual needs and ego.- Compromise is a choice. It is a conscious decision to prioritize the well-being of the relationship over personal desires. It is about finding a balance that allows both partners to thrive and grow together.
