“Compromise in many things,yes
In some things,no.”

It’s very important to set some high and clear expectations of one’s spouse and symmetrically of one’s self — with lines not to be crossed. Some of those WILL be tested at various points in a marriage, so agreement and clarity are crucial. Some of these are made explicit in the old-fashioned wedding vows (which, alas, couples rarely exchange these days); others appear in both Old and New Testament; and once in a while others are idiosyncratic to the couple.
