Thanks codegeek. The pointer you've made about relationships working out well between people who have similar life goals is absolutely spot on. I have intuitively felt that in-synch "life goals" is the single most important factor in challenging relationships and it was good for me to have this re-affirmed by someone else too. The four points you've mentioned feel like the four pillars. Based on my recent experiences, I've found that it's easy to start losing compassion once someone gets comfortable in a relationship. I'm right now in a phase of trying to know if my life goals are similar with those of the woman that I've met. The four points you've mentioned are going to be helpful for me. Thanks!
