My Ideal Spouse

Handsome, tall , firm body , great hair are all things I find attractive, however that does not define an ideal spouse to spend the rest of my life with.My future husband has to be honest, intelligent ,hardworking, kind, ambitous, mature , educated and enterprising.There are many small detials in which I find very crucial to knowing a persons real character. My dating history has influenced the traits that I require and the behaviors that I can tolerate. My family history, culture and my upbringing also helps to determine what an ideal spouse means. Growing up , I was taught that education is invaluable and to have an education will mean that your life will be better in the present and for generations to come. My future husband must have at least a Bachelor's degree or a stable income from a secure career. He must also honest . Being honest is one of the most important values that I have. If there is no honesty then I will lack trust, without trust , our relationship is bound to fail. I also admire hardworking and enterprising men, They will ensure that our family will be financially secure to the best of their abilities. Finding someone who is hardworking in today's society is very difficult because we have been raised to find the simple or easy way to complete their tasks. I want someone who is kind, gentle, thoughtful and caring. There will be times that I will need a friend to talk to , I would like for my husband to be my best friend. If he is my best friend then he has to be sensitive to my emotions, thoughtful to go the extra mile for me without me having to tell him . He must be caring;If someone cares about you, there are many things that they will not do because they know that affect you. I want a spouse that is willing to give the same amount of effort that I will be giving to them. Requiring all of these things from my future husband is simple because I know that I will be reciprocating those character traits.
