Qualities
My Man
Must Have
- He must be a Christian. For
the simple reason that we need to have the same outlook on life. My
faith is responsible for my thoughts on everything
- He must have a sense of humor. A man who can keep me laughing and
appreciate my odd sense of humor will truly win my heart. Humor and
sarcasm can bring you through hard times.
- He must be somewhat intelligent. I need to marry a guy who won't
look at me and say, "huh," after I rant to him about some current event.
I have an active mind and I want him to have one too.
- He must want to have children. Now, I
totally understand why I have friends who say that they'll never have kids.
The youth of America are very disappointing. However, just because one
person's kid throws a tantrum in a grocery store, and it's ok, doesn't mean
that my kid will get away with it. That being said, I'd like to have
kids. I want to stay home, raise my kids, and take care of our
household. I do not want to be in the workplace for the rest of my
life. Maybe before my kids are born and after they leave home.
I'd like to stay home with my kids and parent them. It would be great
if my husband were likeminded on the subject.
- He must accept my family. Now, I'm not saying that he must love
and adore them. But he's got to try to get along with them and
actually have a working relationship with them. I've seen so man
messed up situations due to people just not getting along, We are
adults! Let's grow up and try to get along. (Not that my family
sucks...they are easy to get along with. I'm sure this won't be a
problem.,)
- He must realize that money can't buy me love. I'll love him
unconditionally! But don't leave me hanging with some bouquet of
flowers to express something. Tell me what you are thinking and
feeling. Don't try to love me through the possessions you buy me.
Just chill out, give me a hug, and tell me you love me.
- He must love the domestic side of me. I mean, I really don't want
to be working for the rest of my life in some big office. I want to be
in a kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, and cooking my man a meal. Let me
stay home with the kids and understand that it's what I want to do. I
love cooking, cleaning, and doing stuff like that. Let me do what I
like! Of course, I'd always be there to get a job if need be, but try
to understand what my gifts are.
- He must like dogs. Growing up my dogs have always been a big part
of the family. I want to have dogs when I'm older. I do not want
smelly, outdoor dogs. I want to have nice, clean, carpet running dogs
who sit at my feet at night when I'm reading. I don't want small dogs.
Yuck! Who wants to pet a Kleenex? I'll take some nice big labs
or huskies any day!
- He must appreciate the fact that I love high tech stuff. I
salivate in Best Buy or The Home Theater Store...and I don't want him
tilting his head and looking at me like I'm psychotic when I do. I
enjoy having a nice cell phone, high speed internet, a nice laptop...etc...
Perhaps it's because I'm rebelling from the low tech childhood I lived for
so many years. He also needs to understand that he can't let me free
with his credit card in Best Buy. I want him to truly love me, yet
understand my weaknesses, But dude, let me get the new U2 cd the
moment it comes out.
- He must have good taste in movies. Now, I'm not saying that we
have to love the same Bond. But he's got to let me watch Braveheart
when I want to. And he can't make too much fun of me for crying at
movies!
- He must desire to baby me when I'm sick. I hate being sick.
Be a good man when I'm sick and make me something to eat and take care of
me. (Plus, know what my favorite kind of apple juice is...and know
that I prefer that over OJ when I'm sick.)
- He must put family before his job. I don't want to marry a man who
puts his family second in his life. I don't think that I could marry
someone like that. I just want to be with a man who has his priorities
right.
- No polygamy, dammit! Honestly, I'm just not digging the whole
polygamy thing. I want to be the only wife of one man.
- He must have two hands. Please. I'm a hand girl. I
think hands are way sexy. Having two would be a plus. I mean,
I'm not going to be a hand nazi...but I like hands. Is this asking too
much?
