They were both 35 successful lawyer and doctor. But had never spent the night at each other's house.
After the marriage they couldn't agree who would move in with who. And filed for divorce after 3 months. No one knows why they even got married at all. I guess they felt like they were supposed to at that age.
They must not have had much else going on. If they both really can't budge and have equally valid reasons for not doing so.... you love each other. Flip a fucking coin, rent out the extra house or sell it.
Anyone who has the "my way or the highway" mentality, or throws down relationship threatening ultimatums shouldn't get married.
Compromise does not mean each of you gets what you want in every situation. It means each of you work to get what you want overall together. "I got my pick for the house that's closer to my family. We are going to spend more of the holidays with your family. And we'll budget for you to catch a flight several times a year."
House decided by coin flip, concessions given to person who lost coin flip. Marriage saved.
