Values and Their Importance in Romantic Relationships
Value is a moral, social, or aesthetic belief accepted by an individual as a guide to what is good, desirable, or important.
Values are our non-conscious and hidden motivators, which fuel our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors. They are chosen by us and are firm, but not rigid. Values can be constructive and health-promoting, or destructive and unhealthy.
As core values are a big part of our personality, knowing the person's core values, we can know his/her nature as an individual and accordingly we can understand if the person is compatible with us. Sure, if we share the same values with him/her, means our relationship can work. Many couples break up or divorce because they don't realize how important it is to have the same values for having a working relationship.
