Alphabet of Intelligent Love – V: Values

Values

A strong and lasting relationship is built on a foundation of shared values. While physical attraction and shared common interests can spark a connection, it’s the alignment of deeper principles – such as faith, integrity and life goals – that truly sustains love over the long term.

In a relationship, sharing values means living according to what both partners agree is important. Whether it’s how you handle finances, raise children or practice your faith, shared values provide stability during both good and challenging times. When obstacles arise, these values act as a compass, guiding decisions and keeping the relationship united.

Clarifying your values before entering a relationship is crucial. Many people rush into romance based solely on chemistry, only to later realise that their partner’s priorities are vastly different. Understanding what you stand for – and intentionally seeking someone who shares those beliefs – can save you years of frustration and heartbreak.

The Love Walk is an ideal setting to explore values in a meaningful way. The guided questions and conversations will help couples reaffirm what matters most, while singles can assess whether they are aligned with the person beside them. It’s not just about walking together that day – it’s about seeing if you can truly walk together in life.
