The question is straight forward.

Of course I understand we all have more than three criteria in choosing our potential life partner, but for the purpose of this thread, just your three topmost criteria.

For those who are married,what were the three topmost criteria that made you marry your spouse.


For me my 3 criteria are:

1. Must have a Great heart

2. Must be intelligent (very neccessary)

3.Must be himself and have few good friends.


I have 1 and 3 in abundance
2 smaaall
Re: What Are Your Top 3 Criteria When Looking For A Potential Life Partner? by pansophist(m): 12:53pm On May 13, 2020
For me it is simple.

1. Dont be broke. (Not necessarily material but mental).
2. Be worthy. (No manipulation, responsible, honorable)
3. Be feminine (beauty, nurture, youthfulness, fertility).

As for number one, I'm traditional in a sense that the subsistence of my family is my sole responsibility, but that shouldn't warrant gold digging and unreasonable waste of funds. Also, being mentally broke in a huge turn off, be it illiteracy, uneducated, mal-educated, or willful ignorance. Being schooled and certified doesnt absorb someone from being mentally broke, but being educated in a qualitative sense is an absolute required virtue. A woman do not have to be financially rich to embody these qualities.

As for being worthy, I like a responsible woman. A woman that doesnt resort to manipulative tactics and emotionally blackmailing to get her way. I like when she is honorable, do not dress sexually suggestive publicly, is classy and appear respectable. She should complement me seamlessly, that I'll be her proud soldier. A woman that will assist in her own little ways financially even though I carry the bulk of expenses. A woman that understands her powerful role as a woman, and comfortable in her feminine domain, and not confuse being submissive with being a subordinate, a woman that does not indulge in profanity, and will not exploit my chilvary, and many more.

3. By being feminine, she has to be comfortable being a woman. Being a good mother to our kids, honing her beauty, the very essence of her femininity, making her even more beautiful and nice to be with it. She must know how to control her vices (the female dark sides), such as a tendency for jealousy, insecurities, hypergamy, and getting benefits through her body and beauty.

cool

At the end of the day, most don't know what they want. Even if they do, in most cases, it was just a dream.

Really? Let me give u a quick example.. My friend used to know a guy that got an admission into d university.. he wasn't serious n kept chasing girls.. he failed woefully.. he was asked to withdraw at d beginning of d 3rd year.. he stopped going for lectures but was still in school.. his mates graduated.. he left school.. they got to know at home.. he was asked to learn a trade.. he wasn't serious with it.. they asked him Wat he wanted to do.. he said he wanted to go into music.. he was given d money to set up a studio.. he squandered it. he started yahoo.. made some millions n wasted it.. he became so broke that he sold everything.. he squats with friends n does menial jobs now..
If u still don't get it after scenarios as this.. then m done with this convo..

Y should she love u more than u love her?? Ur creator commands u to love ur wife, as urown flesh, yetu dis demonic wicked man with dark heart is commanding otherwise. Ladies beware here of dis man here

Why are you this bitter?... Na wa oh. I simply stated what I want in a future partner. If u don't agree, u could simply ignore or state why u don't agree.
Why the name calling?
Also, I didn't command any body to do anything did I?
Ladies beware? Lol... for your info, I have met ladies who met and surpassed my expectations for a potential spouse, and they can testify that am an equally amazing person too.
I have the right to choose what's best for myself self and my kids and I won't settle for less. Your opinion doesn't count.

Hey, I don't need to be near what I wrote up there. I ain't perfect, but no one is. But then, I have a standard I look out for in a potential spouse, & I stated some of them up there. Ladies too are free to choose a standard for themselves.
If any lady meets mine (and I know there are cos i've seen them), and I meet hers, then we're good to go.

Oga if she's a Jesus lover then she knows you're supposed to love her more..

Man - Love
Woman - submit

Id est

Man- Love more
Woman- love and submit

Who naturally loves more between a man and a woman? Without bias then you should know it's the woman. Love is naturally more expressed by a woman, love by a woman is boundless and defies logic, cos it's purely emotional for her.
But this is not so for most men. Love for men is a decision and not just based on emotions, and his expressions of love has limits.
Hence the commandment to love for men cos it doesn't come naturally to him, unlike taking lead in a home. A man has to decide to love.
Hence also the commandment for women to submit and not love. Love is natural for a woman, but she is commanded to submit to what comes naturally for a man, which is leadership. Two captains can't sail a boat.
Why am I saying this?
If a woman whose expressions of love that should be natural and boundless is less than a man love that is a decision for him & has a limit... That's recipe for doom....
Once that woman's love is tested by unfavorable circumstances, she moves... Her love isn't boundless, which isn't love from her in the first place.

I just ask myself 3 questions.
1. Do I want my kids to be like her?
2. Does she know, love and believe in herself?
3. Do we believe in ourselves and find each other attractive?
If my answer to these questions are affirmative, then we'll give it a shot

Have you met her yet?
