Two people living together can live cheaper than the two living independently. And while personal space is important, the opportunity to enjoy the company of one another is
invaluable. It is difficult to have the best without some initial sacrifice. This sacrifice can better be described as patience. We do not all spend money with and for the same interests. Relationships develop due to common interests. And while people may have many common interests, they are still two different people, and will have different ideas. Patience is the only way that relationships can thrive. For the friendship of two, the patience of one is necessary.
Maybe if we can understand where others need patience for us, we can better develop patience for others.
