True or False A great marriage doesn't mean no conflict; it simply means a couple keeps trying to get it right?

There is always conflict when you have two wills. A married couple will have conflict. How common their goals are will determine the extent of the conflict. How their personalities interact will determine how they handle it. How much they are love each other will tell how willing they are to sacrifice themselves for the happiness of the other and mitigate both the conflict and its resolution.





If your goals are similar conflict will be small. If the spouses are willing to compromise on the goals and put the others ahead of their own in some instances, the conflict will be lessened.





The personalities will determine how open they are to discussion and how the discussion proceeds. If they love each other and are willing to truly listen to the other and feel their feelings they will be able to understand some and compromise better and not feel bad about it.





What pushes you to keep going is the desire for love and companionship. I know that I want someone who I share everything with. It makes life easier and more fulfilling.





Good luck with this.

Change , is a constant in the Universe .





People adjust to the change around them .

based on the sum total of information up to that date .





These changes are not because we got it wrong , they are because

I can accept some truth there, but I think instead of ';keeps trying to get it right,'; a better goal is simply resolving conflict where possible and letting it go where possible. Maybe picking battles more carefully and maybe having better senses of humor. Life is too short to fight about every little thing.





I don't think I will ever have the goal of ';trying to get it right'; for a marriage if I get married again. I have that goal for myself personally, but I will expect my husband to have his own personal goals. I won't get married again if being with him isn't its own reward.
There will almost always be conflict...but couples in successful relationships work through the conflict through resolution, compromise, or whatever it takes to get beyond it and move forward.





As for ';getting it right';, does anyone ever get it right? There's always room for improvement, so what is considered ';right';?
True, with caveats...





It's not so much that you have to get it right. It's about recognising that conflict is inevitable - people are people - and finding a way to continue moving forward in spite of it.

answer to your one and only wisely asked initial question, true.

trying to get what right? a great marriage works through conflict to come to a compromise both can live with; a great marriage respects each partner and their thoughts and opinions.
True as true can be.

A problem free existence awaits us in heaven....





...and we are NOT in heaven yet!
