Remember the skill of compromise when deciding how to put these values into words that work for both of you. Your list of partnership values reflects what really matters when you look at your life from a broader perspective. The other things in your life are simply details-important, of course, but details. It's your list of values that is the foundation for all your budget planning together. Remember that your budget is simply a tool to make your goals happen.
Goals are measurable.
You know when you have reached a goal and when you have not. Values, however, by themselves, are not measurable. That's why so many older people have such serious regrets about their lives. They have regrets because they cannot find their values in how they lived their lives. This incongruity between what they thought they would do with their lives and what they actually did creates great sadness for many people.
