It is only when a clash of beliefs occur, such their children’s religious upbringing or even if you both want children, that their lack of knowledge about their partner’s values becomes apparent

Before you commit to someone, shouldn’t you know how they feel about the important things that will be part of your lives together?

Good marriages and partnerships are based on more than just love or lust. They are also based on knowledge and compromise, and to reach compromise, you need to know where your partner stands on the important issues in your life.
