Re: when do you decide to give up
You don't give up for the reasons you just mentioned.A lot of things in life don't go the way we plan them to go,but that never means that you just walk away.
There are going to be differences in goals,thoughts,personalities,likes and dislikes...because we are talking about two entirely different people,so why wont they be different!!
You just need to find a middle ground.And I mean both partners.Some things you change and some you do not.Thats what marriage is all about.
You grow with each other and with time you evolve into an entirely different person.The thought of a perfect marriage is actually very different from the real stuff.
Its not easy,but certainly isn't impossible.
The more effort you put into it,the more better it gets.
And once you know that there is an option of walking away from anything which is giving you a hard time or not going your way,you never give it your 100% and hence never get the best results...
