One thing that has kept our marriage on track all these long years is compromise. Quite often, my wife’s tastes will not match mine at all, but somehow we always manage to find a middle ground, no matter what the situation is. Take for example, when we recently upgraded our living room. My vision was to have the ultimate home theatre system, with surround sound and comfortable lounge and everything.
My wife had a more classical approach in mind for our living room. She was talking about soft lines and classical architecture, and none of it seemed to fit in with my idea of a home theatre. Like I said, though, we compromised and managed to find a middle ground for each item that came up. For example, I wanted to black out as much light as possible for optimal viewing pleasure, but she wanted a classic window treatment, so we found some room darkening roman shades that do both jobs just perfectly
