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.

Your values show in:

How you act

What you talk about

What you stand up or fight for
