Settling v. Compromising
Last night's GIRLFRIENDS episode had me up thinking last night.
Brief recap for those who don't know: Joan and Brock got engaged last week. Last night Joan is picturing their future which in her mind includes kids. Brock does not want kids. Finally, Joan concludes that it is best if she and Brock go their separate ways. (I felt her pain at reaching that conclusion, but then again Mr. CT4 and I discussed that like at the beginning to avoid surprises.)
My question is: Matters like this (kids vs. no kids), do you settle for what your partner wants to stay in a relationship?
Do you compromise where instead of 4 kids you have 2?
Do you walk away from what could be the true love of your life?
When we compromise in a relationship, are we compromising who we are? Do we lose ground?
