Marriage is a lifetime commitment. This commitment can have a tremendousnumber of advantages： stability, financial strength and unity, infinite trust, etc.However, it can have a paralyzing disadvantage if one or both parties decide toabuse the commitment. Imagine a person who is told, "We are giving you yourjob for life. You can never be fired." Most people will continue to do a good job,but a few people would take that message as a cue to become extremely lazy.Marriage can cause the same effect. Both partners have to work hard to avoidcomplacency. Marriage means that everything is shared. Sharing means that every majordecision involves a team decision. If both parties do not agree, then conflictarises. Most people enjoy having a certain amount of freedom in their lives.Marriage instead forces a great deal of compromise. If two people have differentspending habits （i. e., one likes saving money and the other likes spending it）, itcan cause immense strain. Marriage involves being with the same person for long periods of time. While thecouple is still "in love," this is easy. Once romantic love effects wear off and therelationship is driven more by friendship than sexual attraction, however, littlehabits can become irritating. Imagine living in an RV with your best friend for 10years. After a while even your best friend can become annoying. Countering thisnatural effect requires skill and creativity.
