    I'd love a wife who would cook, clean, do laundry, and wash my pick-up. :laugh:

    But since I'm a straight female, that makes things awkward, so I'm not holding my breath. :tongue:

    As far as a husband...

    1. Christian
    2. Tall (or confident enough to be with someone who is 5'9" and loves high heels)... It's all about him being able to make me feel safe and cherished.
    3. Intelligent
    4. A sense of humor to mesh with mine
    5. Willing to be an active part of my huge family. Not just my immediate fam, but extended as well.
    6. Can handle working on the dairy with my dad when we visit. It's not a physical kind of work, but the mental kind. Farm work is tough, both mentally and physically, and while most can handle the physical, not everyone can handle the mental.
    7. Can handle my devotion to my job and kids. I don't have children of my own, so my students mean the world to me, and he'd have to be okay with that.
    8. Supportive, kind, sweet, compassionate... The only relationship I've ever cherished is the one where he treated me like a princess. I'm not much of a princess, but I crave and deserve the royal treatment!
    9. Knows how to really kiss. Kind of like the humor thing, you either mesh or ya don't.
    10. Can put up with me! =)

    Guess my hubby is sort of lucky....I only have a little bit of a gag reflex lol.

    Aside from the farting of my hubby, and some immature behavior I did find what I was looking for.

    a man who truly listens..

    Does such a creature exist in the male gender?

    I used to have a long list that was comprised of the wrong things......my mother told me to look for the following:

    1. Had a job and wants to keep it.
    2. No drugs, smoking and excessive drinking.
    3. Takes out the trash
    4. Knows how to fix things.
    5. Sense of humor

    I had to add a few things:
    6. Loves animals
    7. Prefers to not have children
    8. Kind
    9.Not a head case...there's only room for ONE of those in a relationship and I have that sewn up.

    :wink:

    I wondered if you'd finally given up on that! :-) Good to know all my efforts haven't been in vain! Whew!

    Taping random scraps of cloth together IS NOT knitting a sweater!
