4 Things Married Couples Can Teach Single People Now

Complimentarity is KeyIn any relationship your job as "the other person" is to be a compliment. That means the relationship is a dual sharing of energy and information that is meant to reveal something to you, or to the other person. Whether it's a friendship, family bond or marriage you must be aware that you were drawn to that person because they are divinely chosen to reveal some behavior, knowledge or action that you may not understand or have access to yet.It Ain't All About YouOne thing you learn very quickly in a marriage is how to hurt the other party's feelings. You learn what foods they hate, what their pet peeves are and the one thing you can say that will set your mate off. Through possessing that power, a married person also learns very quickly what if feels like to rock someone to their core, but you also learn what if feels to so badly NOT want someone to hurt.Don't Count Your Eggs Before they HatchCompromise is NOT about PersuasionWhat it's about is respect. If you break down the word compromise it says come promise. When you compromise with your mate, or any person for that matter, what you are actually doing is making a promise to respect their decision or idea. A lot of people think compromising with another person is about leaving them alone until they can further be persuaded toward their point of view. And while that may be true at times, the greater point of a compromise is to try and see the other persons point-of-view for what it is; to put yourself in their shoes. When you compromise without the end goal of persuasion it opens you up to the other person's vantage point and gives you a unique peek into how they view the world. Therefore, when opportunities arise for you to offer them an idea that compliments their viewpoint you will see it with clarity because you have truly submerged yourself into their state of being.
