Every girl who wants to get married has made The List. You know the one. It has the qualities of your future spouse. I think they made us create them in more than one Young Women lesson growing up. The List evolved from there so that it could delineate the must-have, would-be-nice and great-if-he-does-but-no-matter-if-he-doesn't categories. Recently I felt I should go over the list to remind myself what or who it is I'm trying to find. For your enjoyment and perhaps my horror, I've included my list below. It's a mix of all the categories, but this would be the ideal guy. It's still pretty broad, but it's helped me narrow down the field. The order has little to no significance. Gimme a holla if you find anyone who fits.
My man:
1. Has a current Temple Recommend
2. Loves God and the Gospel
3. Attends Church meetings
4. Serves faithfully
5. Gives charitably
6. Lives honestly
7. Prays always
8. Hopes for things
9. Loves children and wants to have lots
10. Appreciates music at all times and in all things and in all places
11. Has a strong work ethic and can get his hands dirty
12. Likes to travel and willing to travel with the kids
13. Enjoys going to the theater (movie, ballet, concert, etc.)
14. Enjoys a good read
15. Can shake his groove thing
16. Likes driving and road trip excursions
17. Practices frugality and can manage finances well
18. Engaged in good causes in the community
19. Willing to live abroad
20. Laughs often
21. Listens with the intent to understand
22. Walks for leisure and reflection
23. Honors his priesthood
24. Tries to heed the counsel of the Church leaders
25. Loves me
***I should also note that I don't expect anything from my husband that I wouldn't be trying to do myself.
