13.Does your partner share the same values as you?
A successful relationship can’t be built when you don’t have things in common or don’t share the same values. Therefore, it’s important to know whether your partner’s values match up with yours.
We’ve talked about religion already, but it’s also worth mentioning things like family, whether they want children or not, and politics. Sharing the same values is a very important step towards a long-lasting relationship while having conflicting ideologies could contribute to a lot of relationship fights in the future.
According to Jane Greer, Ph.D., relationship expert and author of What About Me? Stop Selfishness From Ruining Your Relationship, sharing the same values is vital in order to avoid feeling blindsided when your partner is willing/unwilling to do something regarding your shared goals.
