I'm still relatively newly married, so I can't offer much insight (yet), but trust and respect have been our bedrock. Like you and Thor, we have shared values and goals, but they do differ sometimes. Since we trust and respect each other, those differences don't become wedges. They're just another reason to love each other. I 100 percent agree with you on finances. The conversation needs to be always open, two-sided, and shared purposefully.
