When a ‘deal breaker’ really isn’t. Knowing what’s important in a relationship “Imagine your ideal mate. What would he or she look like? Do for a living? Be passionate about? Now imagine who that person wouldn’t be. What characteristics would immediately shoot up a red flag and have you hightailing it in the other direction?

What I’m referring to, my friends, is a deal-breaker. It’s something you could never live with.”
How Personal Core Values Can Sabotage or Save your Relationship “You thought you were in love. You had all of the symptoms.

If it does, it can be because of a difference in core values between you and your partner.”
