Here are some Important Values To Share
You don’t have to agree on everything in a relationship,
or have the same opinions and personalities. But, there are some core values
that you should see eye to eye on if you want your relationship to stand a
chance at long lasting success:
· Honesty.
You’re in trouble if you don’t have the same policy on honesty. If it’s really
important to one of you, then it had better be equally important to the other
or you’re headed for relationship disaster.
· Trust. If
trust is really important to you but not to your partner you may be headed for
trouble. Being able to trust in each other in the same way means you will have
a strong foundation for whatever hurdles come your way.
· Respect.
Respecting each other, yourselves and other people is a value you need to share
if you want a future together. If one of you doesn’t show the same level of
respect as the other it’s going to be hard to stay happy together for long.
· Family. If
you value a tight-knit family connection and place a high importance on being
close with your family and your partner doesn’t you’ll likely run into some
hurdles. Sharing a similar set of family values will make things easier for you
as a couple if you’re not always conflicting over it.
· Fidelity.
This is a big one to agree on in a relationship. If one of you thinks that
being faithful is less important than the other one, then you might end up
dealing with cheating later on down the road.
· Communication. If
one of you values communication and the other doesn’t you’ll have a hard time
getting anywhere in your relationship. Communication goes two ways and you both
need to place equal importance on it.
· Commitment.
It’s important to share the same level of commitment in order to make your
relationship work. If one of you is really dedicated and works hard on the
relationship while the other isn’t committed you will be sure to have problems.
If you’re both equally committed to making the relationship work you are headed
for a healthy relationship.
