Key Takeaways

1

Conduct a 'deal-breaker' alignment session early in a relationship to discuss specific expectations regarding children, finances, and lifestyle to avoid future heartache.

2

Implement 'Personal OKRs' for categories like health, adventure, and finance to track shared progress with a partner on an annual and quarterly basis.

3

Schedule a recurring weekly check-in (e.g., using a relationship journal) to discuss logistics, happiness levels, and goal alignment.
