Well, this past week, the class was assigned to follow the time-honored tradition of Mia Maids and missionaries in making a list of traits we're looking for in a future spouse. I actually made that list my freshman year on this blog, so I decided just to update it.
- Virtuous
- confident
- intelligent
- spiritual
- wants kids
- good with kids
- loves his family
- courteous
- supports me in my goals
- willing to work together to make exaltation with our eternal family our main priority
- generally happy
- sensitive, but not overly emotional
- likes to read
- loves to learn
- funny
- will be silly with me
- polite
- has a geeky side
- congenial
- treats me well
- knows his limits, financially and personally
- thinks for himself, doesn't always require approval
- strong
- optimistic, but realistic
- understanding
- slow to anger
- makes me feel beautiful & delicate with actions and words
- appreciates the arts & beauty in nature
We were also supposed to make a list of what we want to be like when we get married, and, well, that list is pretty much the same for me. A few things aren't exactly strengths for me (yet!), but it really is me in general. If this was true for everyone, or they made two lists of their own, can you imagine the possibilities? All we'd have to do is exchange lists with people, and if it's a pretty good match, then awesome! A match made in heaven. You know, I think that's the idea behind eHarmony...although their way is a bit more complicated and overbearing. They make it an ordeal. This is a simple Sunday School lesson!
Perhaps I should start taking my list with me to Church functions and on dates...just hand it out and anyone that doesn't fit the list at least pretty well need not apply. Easy enough, right?
