Memorize your wedding vows. Have your vows written in calligraphy, frame them, and hang them on your living room wall. Write a love letter that describes all the reasons you re committed to your lover and to your relationship. Commitment requires daily renewal. A promise kept, an action made, over and over and over and over and over and over again.
All successful relationships involve compromise.
The Win-Lose model may work in the outside world, but it wreaks havoc inside intimate relationships. When one person compromises, he loses. When two people compromise, you both win. The goal of negotiating is to get as much as you can for yourself. Whereas the goal of compromising is to give as much as you get.
