We can go along merrily thinking we share the same values as those we love only to find out down the road that our values differ in significant ways. This can create a troubling stage leaving you wondering what to do.
How can this happen? For example, what if you and your loved ones are getting along great and all of a sudden a family member does something that calls your values into the forefront. Never before have you had to consider a situation like this, and when you do consider the situation, you find that you and your loved ones feel very differently about what happened--your opinions are direct opposites. Can your relationship weather differences like this.
Of course, the answer is, It depends. It depends on the severity of the situation and exactly what the differences are and how those differences affect your life. I remember way back in family history when loved ones faced a situation like this. I was an onlooker, but not directly involved in any way. It was impossible for people to find common ground. It was a stressful chapter that in time became much less of an issue.
Over time, we will likely face situations when our values don't match up with those we love deeply. At times like these, we hope we'll be able to talk about it and possibly find common ground, but it's hard to predict what will happen. Just knowing this will happen and you'll have to make some decisions related to that helps. Onward.
