What are some ways to compromise on family traditions with your partner?
Cupid’s Advice:
Love is about making sacrifices and learning how to make compromises. Love is never easy and no matter whom your partner is, there is going to be differences in opinions, especially if you grew up with different values and ideals. Cupid has some advice on some ways to compromise on family traditions with your partner:
1. Take turns: It’s nice to be able to share and experience your family traditions with your partner, but remember your partner has their own also. In a relationship you have to be willing to make compromises and one way to do that is by alternating. Take turns doing each other’s traditions, who knows it good bring you closer and you may be able to start your own family traditions together.
2. Focus on what’s important: Ask yourself what’s more important to you, the issues with your traditions or the person you are trying to build your life with and essentially trying to bring into your family. Think about what traditions are truly important to you as opposed to the ones you do because of familiarity. If you are not willing to or are unable to make compromises with your sweetheart you may have to reanalyze your relationship.
3. Combine your traditions: Say you both have your own traditions you do on holidays or special occasions, why not combine them? You can create new traditions this way as well as continue to follow your old ones, besides every couple creates their own new traditions along the way. Being with someone means sharing and doing important things that matter to you together, but also finding ways to make things work in a fair way.
