Decision-making doesn't end as soon as you tie the knot. It ain't easy sealing a deal. You'll find yourself always on a roll of dice for there's no fixed plan or solution, and the only saving glory is to compromise. So if you don't respect and love your bride enough, good luck, but I'm not sure if you'll work it out.
Alice and John are
childhood sweethearts. After eight years, the couple decided to get married and welcome the newest member of their family, Deniese. While marriage is sweet, John had to make that push in his career. He accepted the irresistible offer of a marketing firm in Los Angeles, of course with a complete housing package. Alice took it harder than John expected. All her life, Alice have been accustomed to the southern living. She knew nothing about the city, she doesn't even know how to cope with the fast-paced metro life.
Then John asked for my help. He's torn between his wife and the future of his daughter. If he stays, he knew that things will work out for Alice but how about the future of Deniese? We have to come up with a win-win solution!
Working on that blueprint, I asked John to give it a southern feel, something that will remind Alice of their home sweet home. I asked John to adopt
styles and comfort of their house back in Texas. I knew Alice would love the garden. She needs to feel that she's closer to nature than the filth of the city.
Alice took over the plan as part of their compromise. She even fixed the furniture while they settled for a smaller but decent abode. She wanted the rooms to have just enough space; the living room to have wooden furnitures; and a spacious kitchen for a good old Texan cooking prowess. In building a house, plans should be flexible and sensitive to each other's needs.
