What Qualities Do You Want In The Person You Marry?.
There are many qualities that I think are necessary for my future husband to possess. Generally he should be warm, caring, sincere and appreciative. However I feel that love and commitment are the two most important qualities I desire.
In my opinion, the secret to a successful marriage must involve both love and commitment. Love is a combination of intimacy and most of all friendship. However, there must first be the establishment of trust and respect. Commitment is equally important. In my opinion, marriages that are based on commitment are the ones that last longer. Commitment is responsibility and loyalty which is easier maintained with commonality or a shared value system, attitude about life, traditions, customs, ethics, religion, and morals.
Both Love and commitment take time to develop. It can take months or years to fully develop. Commitment will keep the relationship for a very long time or forever, while love goes through various phases that cannot sustain a relationship alone. Commitment must be there too.
My potential mate should compliment my style and I his. It cannot be an act just to gain the other's approval or acceptance. It must be the real person that you develop a relationship with. If you are not sincere about the person you portray then one day the fazade will fall and you will come to realize that you do not truly know the other person. The relationship will fail because it was all an act.
I do not feel it is necessary for my potential mate to be the same as me, but he should definitely have some similarities for which we can develop mutual understanding which then leads to mutual cooperation. Although conflict is inevitable, when conflict does arise effective communication is crucial to a lasting relationship because it leads to understanding, which ultimately leads to cooperation. Our ability to work together will ensure another level of happiness in our relationship.
