When it comes to relationship, there is usually a list of things that one person looks for in the other person...
Boundless came up with a list that I found quite relevant. It is definitely a high standard. For me, I don't think I have much of a list...I remember telling a friend that she has to...
#1 love God
#2 Look at #1... :P
I found that from my previous relationship experiences, I like each person for different reason. Granted, the things I found attracted are very common and generic (example gentleness or compassion). Interesting is that things like hobby is not on the top or even on my list. I figure if we are in a relationship, we can find something we both like.
....anyway. This list I figure is a good check up on myself as I develop and mold to be a Godly man....
Spiritual
- Will he be the spiritual leader of your home?
- When you share with him your deepest spiritual thoughts, does he relate?
- Do his life and conversation reveal that he is truly connected with the Savior?
- Do his goals in life show that he wants to please the Lord above all?
- Are his goals in life compatible with yours?
Emotional
- How does he handle anger?
- (Added by me) Does he demonstrate emotional stability?
Mental
- Do you respect him intellectually?
Financial
- Does he have a gambling addiction?
- Does he have a spending addiction?
- How does he handle finances (budgeting, what he spends money on, tithing)?
- Is he a diligent, dependable worker?
- Does he make enough money to support you and future children?
- Does he expect you to work outside the home, or does he expect you to stay home with the kids?
