Sharing Goals

In life, your partner’s career and yours may be on completely different tangents. This is okay and it does not mean that you are in any way less compatible. In fact, having different interests and goals can make your relationship more engaging and allows it to thrive because both people can learn a lot from each other. You probably have a unique skill set that your partner admires and vice versa.

What is important when it comes to relationship goals are the big questions. Consider issues such as do you both want to get married if you are not already? Do you see yourselves hoping to have children and to start a family? Where do you both want to live or be in five years from now?  These are more serious relationship goals which ideally need to be aligned for a successful long-term relationship to work and last.
