Romance Is Having Compatible Dreams Essential to Compatible Relationships?

How important are dreams, goals and aspirations to a relationship? Can they make or break a relationship, or does attraction, compatibility and romance trump differing dreams? Ultimately, it comes down to what people hold as core values. Is a person’s dream more important than a relationship to someone? Or will that person bend or lay down their dream for the sake of the relationship? Does that mean that compatible relationships have to share the same dream?
When someone has a dream or goal in life, it can potentially be a relationship breaker because that person’s entire life is framed around that aspiration: the person’s timeline and expectations of the next several years, where to live, what job to have, when to start a family, if ever, and the kind of lifestyle (for example, reporters are nomadic and travel frequently). If a person’s dream is all-consuming and takes up more than eight hours a day seven days a week, there may not be enough time for a relationship if you want a long term relationship that isn’t focused on careers. After all, romance doesn’t wait until someone achieves their goal. If the opportunity is missed, it may be gone forever.
But there are some people who have a goal and dream in life, but are willing to pursue it without letting it control their life. They don’t put their goals before everything else and have a more balanced view of life. If a person is willing to make sacrifices while still trying to pursue their dream for the sake of a relationship, then it’s a good sign that a relationship can work. But it’s also important for that person to not become bitter or blame the relationship for the hardships encountered in pursuing their dream. It might take longer, and the road may be more complicated and bumpy, but knowing that someone is there with them in their quest can be a motivating and inspiring force.
But what if two people have dreams that aren’t compatible, and take them in different directions? Then, as they say in Vegas, you gotta know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em. As difiicult as it may seem, two people who put their own dreams before another person in a relationship will never find time or compromise to make the relationship work. Relationships are built on flexibility, openness, sacrifice and compromise. Where there’s an extreme stubbornness or in many cases selfishness, it can be difficult to build a strong healthy long term relationship. That’s why finding the right match is so important.
