Making temporary sacrifices

"If I relocate to Singapore, my other concern is Jon," Cindy confided in me over the phone from Dubai. "He would have to leave his job here. Would he be able to land a job in Singapore?"

Making sacrifices is a marital inevitability. There are times when we have to put aside our ideas, values and routines in order to save the relationship.

Compromising is not an issue of pride or ego. Many times sacrifices, like moving to a new town or quitting a job, have to be made to further the common objective of keeping the marriage intact.
