Panel PRO:
- Having common interest provides the opportunity of spending more enjoyable time together.
- Couples may become more easily bored when they have fewer common interests.
- Spending time with a person becomes more interesting when there are common interests. People can have more things to talk about or to share with one another.
- The more you share with your partner, the more you can understand him or her.
- In order to avoid possible conflict of interests and having arguments, it’s important to have some common interest.
- Common interests bring people closer and it can even make people fall in love with each other.
Panel CON:
- Interests often changes over time. Having a quality relationship requires something of a more lasting nature. This is where shared values come into play.
- What brings people closer together, whether in a professional or personal relationship, are the values they share in common.
- All people have quite different interests. Finding someone who shares our interests may be a difficult task. However, finding people who have similar values is easier and consequently, we can enjoy the company of more people and help each other regardless of our personal interest.
- If people do not have common values, it will not matter how many interests they share because interests come and go, whereas values stay forever.
- Basing a relationship on common values results in a stronger and more lasting relationship.
Audience summary:
- Flory remained in team C.
- Johny remained in team C.
It was a tie. What we concluded from this discussion is that both elements are equally important when it comes to having a successful relationship of any kind.
