I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic; I won't even try to deny it. Like I'm sure a lot of girls have spent some time thinking about who I'd like to be with someday. Here's my list of the five top qualities I'm searching for in a husband.
1. A relationship with Jesus
This is definitely the most important one, and that's why I've placed it at the top of the list. I desire nothing more in my future marriage than to have a husband who loves Jesus more than he could ever love me. I want to be able to love Jesus together and worship him side-by-side.
2. A love and appreciation for family
Family is important. They're your blood, literally. I want a husband who loves and appreciates his family just as much as I love and appreciate mine. And once we get to know each others families, I want us to be able to love and appreciate the others family as much as we do our own!
3. A future
Allow me to be straightforward here: Marrying somebody with a future is important. You don't want to be married to somebody who has no plans to ever get out of their parents basement. I'm absolutely positively seeking out somebody who knows what they want to do with their life and realistically knows how they're going to get there.
4. A desire to be chivalrous
Ah, chivalry is dead you say? Think again. I'm performing CPR on chivalry as we speak. Don't deny it, even the most independent woman would appreciate having a door held open on her behalf every now and then. I can't help but get all heart-eyed over men doing gentlemanly things for women — just for the sake of being sweet.
5. A similar sense of humor to mine
If you asked me if I'm funny, I'd probably try to be humble and say I'm not, but ask my closest friends and they'll all tell you I think I'm absolutely hilarious. I hope to one day find somebody who has the same dry sense of humor I do so we can laugh at each others jokes. Plus, my mom is pretty funny so they need to be willing to laugh at her too.
I may currently be as single as can be, but I know God is working on my future husband and working on me as well. I can't wait to see who he's picked out for me!
