Yeah you have to make some tough decisions when you're married, but I think that's part of what marriage is about. One or the other or both will have to compromise for the sake of the whole, or so that one or the other can accomplish their goals, again for the sake of the both of them (hopefully). I think it's definitely going to be tougher, as ambitions often take time and a lot of energy that could otherwise be used on the relationship, and can tax a relationship to the breaking point. At least that's how it is in the soap operas I watch.
