Speaker 1:

A whopping 90% of those everlasting love stories owe their success to one superstar move value conversations. Hold the phone, folks. It's not just about yapping away Value chats. They're like relationship rocket fuel. Think understanding each other's core beliefs, like finding the secret recipe to the most epic friendship bond, or even turning a friendly disagreement into a rap battle. Okay, maybe not the rap part, but you get what I mean. Now imagine this you, me and a couch that's cozier than a kitten in a cashmere sweater. You're lost in a book that's so good you forget to blink. Or you're doodling your wildest dreams on a blank canvas. Those moments, they're like soulful heart to heart, with yourself diving into the depths of what makes you tick and uncovering your inner magic. Hold onto your hats, cause here's the scoop relationships are like art, and we're the curators of our very own art galleries. So, just like a masterpiece needs some TLC, a relationship craves connection, a sprinkling of attention and the occasional artsy flourish to keep things vibrant. And guess what? We're not here to toss around boring stats or snoozy theories. Oh no, my friends, we're in for the real deal Raw, unfiltered conversations about relationships, from the heartwarming to the head scratching moments. We're diving head first into the relationship rabbit hole. We're gonna be armed with some laughter, some insight and maybe a couple of aha moments that are gonna leave you thinking, did Eva just read my mind? So, my lovely accomplices, are you ready to hop on this roller coaster of emotions, revelations and a few stories that might just have you saying, aha. Well then, buckle up, because our value conversation adventure is about to take off.

Speaker 1:

Alright, so picture this. You know those heart to heart chats where you and your partner, your buddy or even your closest cousin spill the beans about your deepest beliefs and what really gets your gears turning. Well, my friend, those are what we call value conversations, and they're like the GPS to navigate the wild roads of relationships. You've never been in a conversation where you're nodding away, thinking you're on the same page, only to realize later that you're completely different galaxies. We've all been there, done that, got the t-shirt, but guess what? Value conversations swoop in like your trusty sidekick, making sure that you're both singing from the same songbook.

Speaker 1:

Imagine, if you will, janet and Chris, the dynamic duo, their cruising long in relationship land until BAM, rocky territory ahead. The issue turns out there on opposite islands, when it comes to how to handle money. Janet's over here saving for a rainy day, while Chris is surfing the Carpe Diemwish straight towards bankruptcy. Now hold on tight, because here's where the magic kicks in. They sit down, have a chat, share their inner workings and boom, they're not just surviving the storm, but now they're thriving in it. But it's not all about dodging clashes like an action movie hero, you know. It's about celebrating the heck out of your partnership when you both know what makes the other tick. You're not just dancing in the rain, you're busting out the confetti for life's parade Value conversations. They are like the secret sauce that transforms a regular connection into a jaw-dropping, heart-fluttering, fireworks-in-the-sky kind of bond. So let's get our game faces on, crack our hearts wide open and dive headfirst into the wonderful world of value conversations. Just trust me, you're not going to want to miss this adventure.

Speaker 1:

Let's dive into some cool stats for a second. Did you catch this gem? Couples who get cozy with regular value chats are whopping 35% more likely to be totally stoked about their relationship. That's right, you heard me. It's not just about swapping movie recommendations or ice cream orders. We're talking about plumbing the depths of what really makes us tick, what gets our hearts racing and where we're headed on this wild journey together.

Speaker 1:

So picture this you and your partner, you're sitting down like two old pals, sharing your wildest dreams, your secret fears and all those big, audacious plans. Yep, that's the juicy goodness of value conversations. They're like a backstage past to our inner worlds, when we bear our souls about our deepest values. It's like constructing a mega bridge that links our hearts and crafts an unbreakable bond. Now imagine a relationship without those heart to heart conversations. It's going to be a lot like a coloring book with no colors. Yeah, it's going to be alright, but it's missing that pop that turns it into a masterpiece. And with the magical wand of value chats, suddenly we're in sync. We're making choices that match our shared vision, like having a GPS for our journey as a dynamic duo.

Speaker 1:

Just by now I had this couple that had been together forever but they'd never really chatted about what they held near and dear. And guess what happened? They were on completely separate planets, always wondering why they were bumping heads over every little thing. And when they finally cracked open that value vault, fireworks happened Suddenly. They got why each other did what they did, but sadly they realized that they had some pretty major differences that they couldn't compromise on and they ended up parting ways. Bummer right. If only they'd had that conversation way back, when they were still in the honeymoon phase. They could have saved themselves a ton of time and probably a royal headache too.

Speaker 1:

I'll be honest with you not every value chat is going to be a walk in the park. Sometimes it's like peeling layers off of an onion, and I don't know about you. Onions make me cry. These chats might reveal differences that we want to handle, but here's the glittery secret sauce If we tackle these talks with respect, a dash of curiosity and a sprinkle of understanding, then we're opening up a space for this epic growth and a shared adventure that can have both of you high-fiving the universe.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so I've been blabbering on about these oh-so-important things called values, right, core values, those little guiding stars that light up the path of who we are, and they shape our choices of dreams and the secret desires that we only admit to our closest confidants. But what exactly are these elusive core values? Well, don't worry, because we're about to dive into a treasure trove of about 15 core values that can make or break your dating game. This isn't going to be an exhaustive list. We're just scratching the surface of some of the ones that I think come up most often and that are the most important Number one communication. Hold up, folks, we're not just talking about endless chatter that rivals a motormouth marathon. Think, sharing thoughts, hopes, dreams. With a sprinkle of respect, don't forget the secret ingredients.

Speaker 1:

How often do you like to talk? Do you expect an answer within a certain time frame? What are your preferred platforms? Are you a WhatsApp warrior or do you prefer good, old-fashioned phone calls? What are your love languages and how do you navigate those bumpy conflict roads? This is the number one complaint that I hear from people that I work with. They are endlessly frustrated because their partner doesn't text them often enough or respond fast enough, or whatever the case may be. But when I ask if they've had the conversation with them, they're incredulous. I mean, because surely everybody's on the same wavelength, right? No, your tip the family, ah family, the bunch you love, argue with and can't escape, even if you try it. Getting cozy with each other's family dynamics is like mastering a new dance. How's your relationship with your parents? Are there any quirky traditions or cultural curveballs? In my first marriage, my ex's deeply traditional parents expected me to be the cook-clean-babies kind of woman, when really what I wanted was to pursue my career in my education. It led to a lot of friction, especially since his brother had married somebody just like that. Why can't you be more like her? If I never hear that again, it's going to be entirely too soon.

Speaker 1:

Number three adventure. Are you two thrill seekers or are you cozy bookworms? Figuring out your adventure wavelengths ensures that you're not stuck between wanting to climb mountains while the other one wants to marathon Netflix. Let's consider Lily and Max, who began dating after a chance encounter at an art gallery. While they enjoyed each other's company, their differences in adventure preferences became apparent during a conversation about future travel plans. Lily envisioned this life of globetrotting and immersing herself in different cultures, where Max preferred the occasional weekend getaway but really wanted to focus on building a stable home life. By addressing these disparities openly, they avoided potential disillusionment later on and they learned how to compromise and balance their aspirations. Another example for you my husband would love nothing more than to load into an RV and just go wherever the wind blows us, with zero schedule and zero plan. I, on the other hand, am one of those people who plans vacation with a freaking binder and a night tenorary.

Speaker 1:

Number four financial philosophy. Money, honey. It's not a hush-hush topic anymore, and it shouldn't be when you consider that money is one of the top factors that leads to a split, regardless of if you're saving like Scrooge McDuck or channeling your inner money. What's that spirit? Understanding each other's financial philosophies can save you from some where-did-all-the-money-go moments. And don't forget the fine details sharing spending habits, financial dreams, debts, even credit scores. I once had a partner who grew up in this big estate with a private chef and all kinds of luxuries, while I grew up in a trailer park and often were hand-me-down clothes five years out of fashion. It led to a lot of frustrations between the two of us.

Speaker 1:

Number five personal growth. Relationships are like potted plants they grow best when you nurture them. So commit to growing together and embracing the awesomeness of personal development. It's like watching a garden flourish, but with way more hard emojis. You need and deserve someone that's going to be a cheerleader for you, not someone who's like a pesky rabbit digging up all the garden of your growth.

Speaker 1:

Number six humor. Guess what Laughter is not just good for the soul, it's also great for relationships. You see, finding someone who laughs at the same quirky jokes or chuckles at the same absurdities can be like discovering a hidden treasure chest in the sea of relationships. When you both find the same things funny. It's like you're in on your own little inside jokes. Whether it's exchanging witty banter over morning coffee or having a giggle fest while attempting a new recipe that ends up resembling modern art. These moments strengthen your emotional intimacy. Laughter releases endorphins, those little happiness hormones that make you feel like you're floating on a cloud made of marshmallows. So when you're both cracking up over a cat video or trying to impersonate your favorite cartoon characters, you're not just sharing laughs, you're sharing the natural high.

Speaker 1:

Number seven spirituality and religion. Beliefs, vibes or just the universe's little secrets. Chatting about your spiritual or religious inclinations can avoid those you believe in. What moments later on, our spirituality can shape how we deal with hard times in our life or even how we celebrate a holiday. They can influence how a person feels about marriage, divorce, birth control a whole plethora of things.

Speaker 1:

Number eight ambitions, career warriors, artsy dreamers, a mix of both. It's like being each other's ultimate cheerleaders on a path to awesomeness. Imagine that you're two adventures settling on, setting off on a grand quest. You both have your trusty maps. But here's a twist One of you is headed off to explore the mist of forests. Only everyone's way over there, on a mission to conquer towering mountains. Now, if you don't chat about these ambitions earlier on, you might find yourself at a crossroads later wondering why the scenery is a match and up and wondering where the heck the other person is. Let's unwrap this with a real-world example Me, alex and Jamie. They're smitten kittens and things are peachy, until one day Alex reveals a burning desire to travel the world and experience different cultures. Meanwhile, jamie's dream is to set down roots and start a family Cue the drama llama, because now they're standing at the intersection of Dreams Avenue and Reality Road.

Speaker 1:

Number nine social life. Are you the life of the party, or are you more of a Netflix and chill type? Sinking your social meters ensures that no one's feeling left like a party balloon that got let go. It goes beyond that, though. Take my husband and I, for example. We just have to work a little bit harder at our relationship, because he's one of those up-at-the-crack it-on types, and I am much more of a night owl. My best work happens after 10 pm.

Speaker 1:

Number 10, health and wellness. Are you a gym rat or a comfort food connoisseur? It's all about finding someone who gets your kale salad cravings or your occasional chocolate-induced therapy sessions. Imagine this you and your partner decide to take a leisurely stroll through a charming garden. As you walk hand-in-hand, you start chatting about your wellness routines. Maybe you're an early bird who loves a morning job, while they're all about yoga and meditation. Sharing these details isn't just about preparing workout regimens. It's a glimpse into each other's priorities, habits and dedications to self-care. Let's take a peek at a real-world scenario. Say you're both enjoying dining out at new restaurants. It's exciting, sure, but early on, discussing your food to approach approach to food can prevent future clashes. Maybe you're someone who values balanced meals and occasionally indulges, while they are a person who has a penchant for trying everything on the menu. Addressing these differences early on can help you find a middle ground and make those dining experiences enjoyable for you both.

Speaker 1:

Number 11, education. No, we're not talking about calculus here, unless, of course, you're into that. You're not. It's about valuing the joy of learning, whether it's mastering a new language or decoding the art of a perfect latte. From Early discussions about education provide insights into your partner's core beliefs, priorities and ambitions. It's like peeking into their treasure map of their life's experiences and understanding what makes them tick. For instance, if one partner comes from a family that values education and academic achievement, they might prioritize stability and a structured approach to life. On the other hand, if the partner has had a more unconventional path and believes in hands-on learning, they might prioritize experiences and personal growth.

Speaker 1:

Number 12, empathy. Imagine this you've just started dating someone and everything feels wonderful. You're enjoying a long walk, steep conversations and the kind of laughter that just makes you feel like you've wrapped them in a cozy embrace. But then one day, a friend of yours shares a personal struggle and your partner brushes it off with an enchilant eh, I'll get over it, hold up. That's a head scratcher, right? This is where the importance of discussing empathy surfaces. It's not about having 100% matching viewpoint on every matter, but it's about understanding each other's emotional landscapes. If your partner's meh response clashes with your empathetic heart, maybe it's time to talk.

Speaker 1:

Number 13, environmental values Green thumb or earth advocate. If saving the planet, your jam, finding a fellow eco-warrior could lead to some awesome planet-saving duets. Sharing your thoughts on topics like sustainability, conservation or eco-conscious living can reveal common ground, like discovering that you both believe in reducing plastic waste by using reusable water bottles. But what if you're an advocate for reducing your carbon footprint and your partner thinks climate change is a myth. Imagine hitting that crossroad without a road map. That's why early discussions are essential. By addressing your environmental values up front, you can discuss and uncover potential differences before they become roadblocks.

Speaker 1:

Number 14, intimacy and sexuality. Let's talk about the intimate aspects of your life. This is a big one, big, huge. You want to know and talk about what your boundaries are, what your fantasies are, how often you want or need intimacy, how you feel about monogamy, what constitutes unacceptable behavior with others. For example, my husband is okay with me giving my ex-husband a hug, but nothing more than that. It's even about where you stand on issues like birth control and abortion. I had a friend once who was so in love with this girl we went to high school with. He had every intentions of marrying her, but she ended up getting pregnant and she had an abortion before she even told him that she was pregnant. He was absolutely devastating that there was something so monumental that she would not only keep from him but didn't even talk to him about. And yeah, I hear all those my body, my choice people out there, but that doesn't negate the pain that it can and does sometimes cause men who have no voice in the conversation.

Speaker 1:

Number 15, future vision. Have you ever played the when Do you See Yourself in Five Years Game? Well, we're diving into it. Marriage travel unicorns put it all on the table. Have you ever been in a relationship where you felt absolutely positive that this was the one, only to find that years into the relationship, that they don't buy into the institution of marriage? Or maybe you're trying to climb the corporate ladder, but they're happy to just make it to the final level of Grand Theft Auto.

Speaker 1:

Compatibility isn't about being mirror images. It's about having a solid foundation of shared values that can help you dance your way through the labyrinth of love. So we've had our fair share of heart to hearts about why these value conversations are like the secret sauce to relationship success. But let's put on our adventure hats and get real. How do we gracefully tip toe through the minefield of discussions packed with values? Value conversations aren't like throwing a dart at your favorite pizza topping and hoping that everybody else is on board, although if we all agreed on pepperoni and pineapple, we'd be living our dream. These chats are more like crafting a masterpiece. Imagine doing the tango while solving a puzzle at the same time and you'll sort of get the idea.

Speaker 1:

The first stop on our value-driven journey, creating a safe haven for those candid dialogue. It's like having a potluck dinner with your thoughts and feelings. It's a real smorgasbord of emotions. This is where the enchantment happens, where you both spill your truths without dodging butts in every corner. Couples who rock at value conversations are a whopping 35% more likely to feel relationship satisfaction. It's like winning a jackpot, but instead of coins you're showered with hugs, high fives and a deeper connection.

Speaker 1:

Next, let's talk about active listening. Forget about the waiting game for your turn to talk. We're diving Deep sea into their words. Put those phones in timeout. Lock eyes, not like your agreement with Einstein's theories. Trust me, this skill rivals the concentration of a jugular at a circus.

Speaker 1:

Now, not every value conversation is going to be a heartwarming rom-com scene. Sometimes it's more like a chaotic sitcom episode with an unexpected twist. Picture this your partner reveals a value that's dancing to a different rhythm. Instead of storming out like a soap opera star, take a deep breath and channel your inner detective. Ask them some questions, dig like your unearthing buried treasure and unveil the why behind their beliefs. Here's a tale for you to chew on.

Speaker 1:

Friend of mine once tackled a value conversation with her thrill-seeking partner. She uncovered his craving for adventure and adrenaline and she actually leaped into a bungee-jumping style. Talk about embracing a treasure trove of excitement. And now let's talk about that sweet spot where your values waltz together in harmony. It's like finding a hidden dance floor at a wild party. It's not about being cloned to each other. It's all about celebrating your distinct notes in the greater symphony of life.

Speaker 1:

Alright, time for action, folks. Your mission, should you choose to accept it. Have a value conversation with someone who holds a special place in your heart. It could be your romantic partner, your best friend, even a cousin who's been itching for a deep chat. Embrace the challenge, share your values and watch the magic unfold. But before we roll up the carpet, let's tackle a dating dilemma. We've all been there. We've been really vibing with someone. We really really like them.

Speaker 1:

But those stubborn core values don't sync up. Don't just sweep it under the rug like it's no big deal. Like you know, I can learn to live with it Because, trust me, that frustration can brew like a secret potion until it just boils over. That's why I'm the official early value conversation captain. Need some conversation starters. Not sure where to start? Check out our strong relationship. Sunday prompts over on the Queen of Swords Instagram. Some of them are really fun, some of them are deep, they're playful and they're bound to help you strengthen that connection.

Speaker 1:

So already, my fantastic friends, it is now Q&A time. Strap in, because we are diving headfirst into a treasure trove of tales and questions that all revolve around our hot topic of the week, those oh so important value conversations. If you're ready to spill the beans on your own escapades, or you have some burning questions that just won't quit, give us a holler. Now let's take the plunge and wade into this value packed pool of wisdom. Let's kick things off with a gem from the one and only Amber, who's rocking it out in the buzzing city of Atlanta Amber dishes. Hold on your hats, folks.

Speaker 1:

My partner and I used to bicker like squirrels fighting over a nut about our wildly different spending habits. It was practically hair pulling territory. But guess what we stumbled upon the magic of value conversations sat down for a good ol' heart to heart about our financial values. And, would you believe it, we found common ground, my friends. Now, instead of ripping our hair out over the budget, we're actually saving up for a whirlwind dream vacation. Who knew money talk could be this magical.

Speaker 1:

And here comes a curveball, courtesy of the one and only George from the mystical realm of Santa Fe, new Mexico. George spills the beans. Alright, picture this my girlfriend and I are cruising along just fine until we hit a pothole that could swallow a minivan hole. If you're from New Mexico, you know exactly what he's talking about. It felt like we were lost in different galaxies and our conversations were starting to sound like two aliens trying to order pizza.

Speaker 1:

But then, bam, we stumbled upon an article all about value conversations. We thought, hey, why not give it a shot? Lo and behold, turns out we'd been neglecting our passions and our values. But with some heart to heart conversations, we were able to navigate our way back into each other's orbits. And guess what? We even hatched a joint art project. That's now our favorite escape from reality. Who knew art could be such a love potion?

Speaker 1:

Now let's dive into the ocean of listener questions. And boy, do we have a juicy one from our buddy Mark down in the low and star state of Texas. Hey, you wonderful souls. So I've got a teensy-meansy issue. Every time I try to kickstart a value conversation, it feels about as natural as a giraffe wearing tap shoes. Any secret sauces to make it less awkward. Mark, my pal, you are not alone in this quirky dance.

Speaker 1:

Starting value chats can sometimes feel like you're trying to ride a unicycle while juggling flaming torches and never having learned to do either one of them. But fret not, because we're here to lend a hand. It's all about setting the scene. Think cozy vibes, maybe a couple of candles flickering in the background. You can kick things off by sharing a tidbit about yourself, like tossing a pebble into the pond and watching the ripple spread. Or here's a zesty suggestion Bring up a recent news story or mind-boggling article that screams values. It's like throwing a conversational boomerang. Trust us is going to swing back with some media discussions, and remember my friend patience is your trusty sidekick here.

Speaker 1:

These conversations are like a friend in wine they age. So who's on the line now? It's Emily chiming in from the land of palm trees and endless beaches, california, baby Emily wonders. Hey, folks, my partner and I have been tag-teaming this game of life for ages, but I can't shake this feeling that we missed the memo on this whole value conversation thing. Is it too late to hop on that train? Well, emily, you have struck gold with this one, because it is never too late to jump on the value conversation bandwagon.

Speaker 1:

Actually, plenty of folks find that revisiting their values over time is like giving their relationship a double spot, double shot of espresso. It's like discovering a hidden layer to your partner's personality. And listen up. Starting these talks might feel as awkward as trying to moonwalk on a tightrope, but guess what? It is a step towards understanding each other on a whole new level. It's like peeling back layers of an onion, minus the tears of force. And here's a little twist. Sometimes you're going to find out that your partner's on you just in your jam, and that's okay too. It's all about finding that sweet spot, even if it means a dash of compromise.

Speaker 1:
