Life Simplified Concepts: Well-Designed Value System
There needs to be a philosophy or a moral compass to every person’s life to get them through rough times or simply give their life and existence a purpose. Even though value systems are not often talked about in a relationship, unless both people are expressly religious, couples who share the same values have a very good chance in coexisting for a long time. And if the values each person holds dear to their heart is different than the ones their partner believes in, each has to be able to present their case to their partner in a way that is intellectually sound and reputable. They must convince their partner that their value system is worth supporting, and if they otherwise fail to do so, then the partner will find it hard to respect the person because they would not respect their value system. This is skill that is often ignored but comes up in relationships very often.
