Your summary is exactly what I would say with my experience of now more than 42 years knowing my wife. Sharing the idea of „How do I want to live?“ plus sharing the most important values and thoughts about „What is important – for me, for us, for the family, for the whole world...?“ is the major key to having a long-lasting relationship.
Being together as a couple for just a week (19 and 20 years old then) we talked about „How do you think about having kids?“
„I always wanted two, just like I grew up“
„I had thought about three, as most of my friends have two siblings“
„Well, we will find a way, it won't fail because of that...“
Finally we now have two adult kids and being co-founders and CEO, CFO, CTO... and all of that for the „family.inc“ is still one of the greatest experiences.
We cherish that daily.
Wishing you all the best for all the years to come!
It somehow reminded me of my own story... 😉😌
