Preference and compromise
We have started a tradition in our home of alternating between colored lights and white lights on the Christmas tree. My wife and now my daughter like colored lights and I prefer white. So... we decided to alternate between each every year.
This year is the colored lights year and there's something about it that I kind of enjoy knowing that it's what makes my wife and daughter happy. I don't hate colored lights I just prefer white. My preference when combined with my love for my wife and kids creates a compromise that makes something I wouldn't have preferred still enjoyable because of who likes it.
I'm glad we don't all like the same things. Some things just aren't negotiable, but there's a lot of things that are preference. So try to find ways to see something in what others like too.
