The 3 C’s of Relationships, Part 2: Compromise - EP122

Destined To Be

We tend to see compromise in a relationship as a bad thing. It makes us think of giving something up and feeling resentful toward our partner as a result.

But what if compromise in a relationship isn’t about winning or losing? What if you can BOTH benefit from supporting each other through individual seasons of growth?

On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re exploring the second C of a strong relationship, compromise.

We discuss the victim mentality at the source of most conflict in a relationship, challenging you to shift away from keeping score to building mutual respect with your significant other.

Listen in for insight on persuading your partner through attraction rather than promotion and learn how to communicate the benefits of what you want to do in a way that inspires healthy compromise.
