[Shredcheddar]

A Christian woman who loves me in spite of my imperfection.

[unknown~+~]

I would really admire a guy that:
~ loved Jesus more than he loved me, and put him first.
~ could handle being around my family ( brave)
~ liked me for who I was , not wanting to change my appearance.
~ wouldn’t be afraid to tell me when I messed up, but did it in a kind way.
~ hard worker ( willing to get his hands dirty)
~ wouldn’t hold back, feelings or if something was wrong.
~ wouldn’t flirt with other girls.
~ was kind to other people even if they were strangers
~ he couldn’t be self-righteous
~ loved kids
~ positive attitude ( smiled
~` wouldn’t spend all his money on foolish stuff.
~ want to be a blessing in others lives.
~ would put up with me!
I don’t know if this is too much to ask for???

[Dritzz21]

Sounds like a good list to me!

[KaweenFunee]

Alright this is a list off the top of my head:
x Puts God before me, even when I don't want him to
x Respects my boundries
x Honest and Trustworthy
x Open with me
x Sweet/caring about my feelings, but will still tell me if I'm wrong or messed something up
x Good sense of humor and not overly-worried that the slightest thing will hurt my feelings
x Even if they don't have the same taste in music as me they'll put up with my tastes
x Loyal
x Doesn't complain about my style, even if he has a different look than me
Just an all around fun guy to hang with, but who I could take to church or youth group and he'd love it as much (if not more) as me.
xx

Lists are a bad thing.

not quite true. Its noit that God shows people, its people build up an idol in there head of the perfect girl. Its not that God is telling you to look for a brunette, or a singer. Thats superficial, and attributing your will to God's, a horrible blasphemy actually.

I think you're being narrow minded. Lists can be bad. They have the potential to be bad. It doesn't mean that all of them are, or that making a list of things you would like to have in a wife is wrong. What would be wrong is including superficial things on the list, and adhering to it so much that it blinds you. That would be wrong (and immature). I just cannot see how there is anything wrong with a simple list of things you would like to see in your future spouse.

Faithful to God and me
Honest
Loving
A personality that melds with and complements mine
Trustworthy
Loyalty

And please, Bill, explain to me how making a list like this is wrong of me. I don't think my list is blinding me in any way, or has superficial things on it. Do you? I don't think I'm going to miss out on God's choice for me with a list like this, so I don't see how you can say so definitely that:

"Lists are a bad thing."

[Novan_Leon]

4. Strong-willed
3. Out-going
2. Attractive
1. First commandment

By the way, #1 is the only one that I have in common with the above list.

[thyfunkispure]

1. Must have a relationship with Jesus
2. Must not bicker/gossip about everything
3. Must be able to make me laugh

[jwhitey]

Christian
female
and funny.
and the best advice I got after a terrible divorce never date anyone that you would not marry. so watch them for a while before you move it works out better that way.

[worldrocker77]

1.Loves God more than me
2.Down to Earth personality
3.Funny

[Humphrey B Bear]

at the top of my list would be
#1 she would never be interested in someone like me
#2 nope thats all I've got
#3 seriously if she is interested in me she has some serious problems
#4 yep I want a girl with problems I guess so she can't get anoyed with mine
(seems that way looking through hind site)

So many people say they want this or that but when it comes down to it what they want and what God knows they need are two different things

Honestly though if a girl likes you and you buy her flowers (or pull them out of your garden) or write her some verse or any thing nothing draw on a rubber band and tell her its for her your are sweet,

On the other hand if you are rying to show a girl you are interested and bring a single flower or write a litle verse in an email it's shut down time!!!!

lists are good because they can show you how much of yourself you are willing to give up o gain another I've ventured far off my lists so I've given up on them, made so many bad decisions I think I should let God take the wheel for a while (for good this time)

[Dor-Bor]

oh, why not?

um, I'm quasi ok with lists, just so long as they are not too awfully narrow that if GOD puts "the one" in your life, he/she will fit.





that said, here is what i'd like in a future husband:

long version:
1) Must be a follower of Jesus Christ.
2) Must be willing to work with me in His calling for my life, which I pretty much think is working in Mexican orphanages, and all that entails. this is only a must because if I neglect His calling, I am rebellious toward Him.
3) It'd be really nice if he was a gentleman, but does not have to act "tamed", for lack of better word.
4) It'd be nice if he could put up with, or learn to put up with someday, my crazy tweaks.
5) Someone who I can see myself loving, respecting, cherishing, cooking for, cleaning for, having fun with, and (le gasp!) actually being as close to a Proverbs 31 wife as someone from this century can be, for the rest of my life on Earth.

short version:
I'd be genuinely thrilled beyond words to be the Sister Encarnación to my future husband's Ignacio "Nacho Libre".

[Guitaress]

Okay, I also have my own "list" of "qualities" of the other person, or "partner", as y'all say.

1. HAS TO BE A CHRISTIAN!
2.Friendly
3.Funny
4.laughs a lot
5.Cute
6.On fire for God!
7.Physically attractive(Maybe )
8.good friend
9.fun
10.funny
11.not a jerk
