1) Financial Independence
3) Practising Believer Would replace this with being spiritual cos religion is in the heart. Doesn't mean he's pure at heart just because he goes to church every Sunday!
6) Funny
7) Patience
16)Respectful

Most important is healthy. I don't want a barren woman or an impotent man.
Re: Your Top 5 Priorities Before Selecting A Husband/Wife by ayobase(m): 8:57am On Jun 07, 2012
Cuddlemii: 1) Intelligent(Didn't find that in your list, very important because it supersedes everything and a key to everything)

2) Hardworking (encompasses financial independence, a goal getter, well connected because anyone who is hardworking would have all these in mind or aspires to get them so they are all interwoven and interrelated like a maze. Infact a man who acknowledges that you encouraged his hard work would be generous too)

3) Physical look (this is obviously related to being neat as well,your man should be at least presentable. Its the way he is dressed that he would be addressed)

4) Patience (Related to good listener and adviser. You need to be attentive and composed to listen to your partner. Related to respectful as well)

5) Practicing believer not like a staunch christian but must have the fear of God. I am not a fan of spiritual fanatics). Once there is fear of God, every other blessing follows or all the other factors you listed would be added unto thee. If you can't get everything in a man, focus on getting the most important or key things that would shape, mold or establish the rest for you.

ur explanation of hard working is false.
barrow pushers are the highest hard workers but they are nt financially independent. There are also not well connected and most will not be in their life time. So u have to seperate them.

Hard work is hard work.
And na level by level according to goals.
Much are as d result of hard work.

Og, I believe that humanbeings are made in their essential capacities to act and not to be acted upon. We all have choices and we can choose what we want from our lives. Manyatimes life throw punches at us but we are left to choose how we react to them.
When it comes to choosing a life partner, choose the qualities you would want to see in you partner and position yourself for such a person by working on your own character, too. Pls dont lower your standards for anything.
Do you know I can choose to date you? Lolz.

Choose or choice?
Well, nice pick up line there!
Re: Your Top 5 Priorities Before Selecting A Husband/Wife by Nobody: 9:45am On Jun 07, 2012
ayox2003: True, but you cant just love someone forthwith. Honestly, I dont think ONE quality of love/respect is enough. Although you cant get all what u want in your partner, I think some qualities must be present. Og, love grows and some qualities must be present to sustain such growth. I'm not including beauty and wealth in the 'qualities' but basic characteristics of the person. Trust, honesty, industry, thoughtfulness are not toomuch qualities one must look for when choosing a life partner. I may sound archaic but the best relationships are those that started from friendship. Just like a pebble thrown into the pond, the circle enlarges itself till you finally accept the person for who he/she is. What if someone loves and respects me but she is from "Lazytown"? A lazy lover? I bet the love would not last a decade. Therefore, I still maintain that we choose want we want in a person we really wanna settle down with.
By the way, if you've got what I want, and I've got what u want(love/respect) why would u reject me? Lol.
Lest I forget, there is this quote I heard somewhere that I'd like to share. It says: Love is blind but marriage is will open its eye. Lol.smiley

The beauty of this world is that it is not black and white. If it was, then life would be simple. Look at some of the basic characteristics you listed. Trust and honesty. The person you fall in love with will change with time. That is a promise. The person you trust now or consider honest may have to stray from that quality to keep you happy. Honesty may be one of the worst requirements of all lol. Honesty can hurt and dishonesty can hurt. It's like a one-sided coin. The same goes for trust. Some build trust to deceive whilst some break trust to protect. It all depends.

Love and respect are enough for me. I'm not going to request any qualities from someone because I know how I am lol. I am fickle and can go wherever the wind blows me. Various situations will arrive in life, and sometimes dishonesty and being untrustworthy are the answers.

People we may see as admirable were disliked by others. People we hate were loved by some. One would easily call Bob Marley a humanitarian who practiced love, wanted world peace, etc. This same Bob Marley maltreated his wife physically, mentally, and emotionally, the woman he was supposed to love and cherish until death. Hitler was responsible for the Holocaust, yet he had a devoted wife, and dog lol, by his side for reasons unbeknownst to me. At the end of the day, people are flawed. Whether it's one quality, five, or one hundred qualities listed, there's a chip in the armor. Many people find their Mr. Right's or Mrs. Perfect's, with seemingly flawless characteristics, and leave them anyway, because the key didn't fit into the lock.

I'm not saying that there shouldn't be any qualities involved in forming relationships. That's necessary of course, but how many times have you heard people say they love their spouse because he or she is hot or funny? Those superficial relationships don't always last, and I laugh sometimes. Did the hotness expire? Is he or she no longer funny? A lot of divorces are filed due to irreconcilable differences aka "we're not meant for each other". There's more to life than "he must be a, b, and c", or "she must be x, y, and z". It's very rare that we find an a, b, c. More than likely, an "i, q, and f" compliments us best.

I may sound archaic but the best relationships are those that started from friendship. Just like a pebble thrown into the pond, the circle enlarges itself till you finally accept the person for who he/she is.

I agree smiley

Hi poster
I'll try to give you the best answer concerning the most important things to me as a husband, even though things are not always "what we want them to be"
I'd say
Respectful= especially for infidelity, capable of carefully hidding sex affairs
Responsible= I can feel someone I can count on in any situation
Ambitious= real sense meanning even though you don't have a job, you are active to get one
Hard working
Capbale to communicate with his half
