Maritial Non-negotiables

Marriage is all about compromise but to truly be happy in a relationship you have to have some non-negotiables. Mine was that my husband and I share the same religious beliefs. It was important that we could help one another stay strong in our faith. In addition, when thinking into the future I didn't want to have the argument about how we would raise out kids and having the same religious beliefs lessened the chances of that. My husband's non-negotiable was mutual respect. He'd been in a few relationships where he felt like he didn't receive the respect that he deserved so going into our relationship and then into marriage he wanted to build a solid foundation on respect.
