Key Points:
When making a long-term commitment, it is important to consider how much you and your partner are aligned in terms of values, lifestyle, and goals.
It is also important to be aware of any potential areas of conflict or disagreement, and to discuss how you would handle these situations.
Some people find it helpful to create a list or spreadsheet of the factors they are considering, in order to make a more informed decision.
