When couples struggle to align long-term values with daily decisions

My partner and I talk about wanting to make decisions that our future grandchildren won't curse us for, but when it comes to actually changing how we live - our investments, our consumption, where we put our energy - we keep defaulting to what feels urgent right now and I don't know how to bridge that gap between our values and our daily choices.
