In General Relativity, all observers agree on who is affected by time dilation affects IIRC. And in Special Relativity it doesn't make much time to talk about agreeing on time or space separately (everything moves at c in space-time), although Proper Time is universal. That is, your watch, to you, always ticks at the same rate.
