Well no one has posted "what do you look for in a spouse?" thread today so I figured what the heck. I am single dad with full custody of two lil angels and if/when I start dating this is what I am looking for (in no particular order)...



1. A Christian
2. Loves and adores kids
3. Has kids and/or wants more kids (doesn't matter how, adoption, whatever)
4. Is a cowgirl (or at least has a country heart)
5. DDF
6. Loves cowboys
7. At least likes country music
8. Goofy sense of humor
9. Likes to be active and not sit at home
10. Super affectionate and passionate
11. Honest & faithful
12. Compassionate & kind
13. Positive
14. Can, um, keep up with me

See I also have a philosophy when it comes to marriage (prob get blasted for it but it's how I think/feel): A woman should be spoiled like a princess, made co-president of the house, and given all the affection and physical intimacy she can handle. So a woman I married would have to be able to roll with that.

Lol, I may be asking to much.

What's on your list?????

    I think making a list is such a great idea because I found (in the past) that I would often follow my heart but not my head and end up looking past a lot of things that were so important to me. I have goofy sense of humor too!!!! I think that was number 3 LOL

    You just summed up everything I'd need in a future husband. Whoever ends up with you is a very lucky woman indeed!

    Actually.....just some one willing to stick it out. My wife and I couldn't be more different on EVERYTHING. But some how it works. But not without work. If there is one thing I know about human beings, very few of us actually know what we want. So lists are great and all, but don't disqaulify what could be the love of your life just because she's not into country music or cowboys.
