Lie #6: “My spouse and I are incompatible.”
I don’t know a lot of wives and husbands who are truly compatible when they enter into marriage. Let me tell you, it’s possible for a marriage to join together two flawed people.
In fact, almost every marriage will have to deal with some sort of incompatibility at some point. While compatibility is key in any relationship, if you and your spouse seem to be incompatible when it comes to certain things, this doesn’t mean that your marriage won’t work.
Incompatibility in romantic relationships can manifest itself in many ways. One common example is when the partners have different personalities. This can obviously lead to disagreements and fights because the husband and wife are unable to understand each other.
It’s important to understand that you and your spouse aren’t going to agree on everything, and it’s OK to be like this. In fact, it’s normal. Aldo, when there’s a disagreement, it’s essential to try and discuss it in a rational and calm manner.
I’ve been married 57 years to the love of my life. We met on a blind dinner date. Why does my marriage work? I make the major decisions with her approval. One person is dominant in a marriage. It could be either. Some people are good at decision making while others are not. She was and still is “my dream girl.” We are now in our 80’s and I’d remarry her again in an instant. She was so cute my parents thought she was marrying me for my money, not that I had so much. I’m a strong personality and she is laid back. Knowing yourself is the best way to find a mate. Don’t overlook the others faults or your own. Everyone has them and if they are glaring don’t fool yourself into believing that it will work out. People don’t change. Always remember the reasons you married and appreciate one another. She was and still is my dream girl!
First I must congratulate you and your wife on your union , 57 years is a blessing to grow with someone you truly love. . I been with my spouse almost 30 years and marriage isn’t easy but we both learn to compromise if a problem arise. Just last year in a social media group I was asked what if I find out after all these years together with my spouse and I find out there was infidelity. I was ask would I stay in the marriage or would I dissolve the marriage . What would you do if you were in that situation, would you leave the 57 years in the past or would you fight for your marriage.
