Seriously, please op, when is it your job to tell me what to look in a partner.
It's my partner, my choice, I know what I want and cherish in anyone I would choose as a partner.
You should indicate opinion in the topic cos we all have different choices.

Choosing a life partner:

There are no laid down rules, formulae or principles for choosing a perfect life partner anywhere. Most times the choices are influenced by the peoples background, taste and religion.

Today i bring you some points that will go a long way in helping you choose a life partner, these may not work for everybody but will surely work for most people.

1. Values Compatibility:
Every normal human should have a set of values to lead his life everyday, there are things, activities or lifestyle that you value. Before you choose a life partner, you should be sure your values don't contrast but are compatible.

2. Steady source of income:
Marriage isn't for boys/girls; it is strictly for men/women that have a sense of responsibility. You don't wanna get married and have your parents still feeding you, hence, there should be a steady source of income first before taking a life partner.

3. Social Compatibility:
I keep telling my friends that my future wife will be my best friend as soon as we get married. She will be beside me anywhere i go and asides being my confidant, she will be my gossip mate. All these can only be possible if you two are socially compatible.
Imagine telling your partner that Donald Trump, the President of America has
shut his boarders against foreigners and she/he be like, "Has George Bush been changed?”. Social compatibility matters alot.

4.Spiritual compatibility:
Take a partner that will complement your spiritual life and not one that will undermine your efforts of spiritual growth.

5. Physical Compatibility:
How do you like your partner? Hourglass shape? Masculine with abs? Tall or short? Huge or petit? Go for what you want, because to each, his own. Don't make a choice today and say " this isn't what i bargained for” tomorrow. Physical compatibility matters.

6. Don't Limit Your possible Choices:
Some people for one silly reason or the other have sworn that that they can never marry outside their tribe, country or race. Thing is we are all human and some of us have our destinies tied outside our tribes,countries and races.
Do away with the eyes of a tribalist or racist when choosing a partner, love is the ultimate and paramount reason.

Noteworthy is also the fact that people nowadays choose partners based on the size of their pockets. This is utterly an act of blindness because love is irreplaceable no matter the opulence.

One compatibility is missing. Traditional/Cultural compatibility. I think it cancel the last point on your list. If you marry a lady whose cultural background and traditional beliefs are different from yours, there will be trouble. As a Benue man(idoma from Ogbadibo) our tradition doesn't permit a married woman to allow another man to have any form of sexual contact with her, if she does and the hubby is aware and keep mute,eats from her pot, he( hubby) is in trouble, while a Plateau, Nasarawa, Niger man can over look it and nothing will happen to him nor the wife.

At that point in my life right now, I have this amazingly brilliant sweet angel I'm planning on proposing to next month(vivalavida if you leak this secret I will personally shoot you bro. grin grin grin ) We have practically everything in common, it's just that I am not the religious type and she is a devote Catholic (the strong one). That spiritual compatibility part gives me the chills man.
Re: Choosing A Life Partner. by davibid: 10:50pm On May 15, 2017
No. 5
Is the reason why I advise my friends, brothers & even my enemies whoever you are to always use 'doncom' when having intimacy because when pregnancy comes 95% of guys will end up with person they don't even imagine to spend the rest of all life with.

Pregnancy don't know whether it was casual or serious dating

Be wise and avoid regrets

Dude, calm down nah, shuuu! Are you planning to get married without a steady source of income? That's an invitation to strong poverty, as in very, very strong poverty.

50 years ago, there were no books, no tutorials, no lectures, tips about marriage yet marriages lasted with love and happiness. Today, we have all sorts of guidelines, tips, tutorials, counselling before and after marriage, yet marriages are crashing like the Nigeria economy under some people!
