Two people have to want to head in the same direction. I believe couples need similar values and goals.Ģ. What are the most important characteristics to look for when matchmaking?ġ. However I think, on the whole, we have kept the core selection processes intact. We also look at the core goodness of each person and recognize some warning signals better than before.
