Values and Relationships
How are values important when starting new relationships?
They help us find people we are compatible with Ex. A person who values family and wants to have a
family right after they get married, may be in conflict with someone who values adventure and freedom to do what they wish.
We shouldn’t change our values just for another person to like us Why is that?
Your values show in:
How you act
What you talk about
What you stand up or fight for
What you are willing to sacrifice for
