"No relationship is perfect, ever.  There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences.  And that's they key.  It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece.  Love can make up for a lot.
