DEAR ABBY: I am an introverted, quiet man married to a vivacious, gregarious woman for more than 27 years. We have found that our opposite temperaments complement each other and help each of us to develop characteristics we previously lacked. My wife brought me out of my shell and helped me to appreciate the value of a social life.
I'm sure "Frustrated" and her fiance could compromise about their wedding plans if they see their disagreement as a problem to solve rather than a battle to win. If they are not capable of compromise, they are not mature enough to be married. -- ENCHANTED WITH LIFE IN NEW MEXICO
DEAR ENCHANTED: You're right. Compromise is an important ingredient in every successful relationship.
