size wasn't an issue figured if my husband was shorter then me he would be a midget, I gambled with the odds of ever dating a midget and won.

Exactly when you are 4' 11.75" there isn't much chance that I will date/court someone shorter! :lol:

Hmmm...lets see here...

Someone who loves the Lord passionately.

Someone who loves me passionately.

Someone who is outgoing and not afraid to stand up to me.

Would be nice if he is taller than me coz I'm short. (He's about my dad's size hehe).

His initials are...uhh never mind! hahaha.

:saywhat :shock: wwooww-- My sincer apologies-- I will never say I feel like the shortest person in the world. I am quite content with my 5'2"-- especially since it's next to (as in almost) impossible to find a guy who's shorter than me. :)

My list of wants for my future mate is.. uh, well, it's kinda long, BUT the short version is this : godly Christian, male, great personality.

That's all folks! :D

I would add my own opinion that the social class and simillar backgrounds of you and your spouse are important.I have heard of a worker marrying a BBU graduate and their marriage works, but I find it much easier if both me and my husband come from "intellectual" middle class, both our parents are teachers and both of us have college professors in our closest families. Me and my husnabd also have a simillar degree and soon will start to work towards a higher degree in the same field.

I'm looking for modern-day Esthers and Sarahs and the likewise women. So hard to find in postmodern-day society. Unless you peek into Bible-believing churches of course.

Though... I'll have to have the qualities SHE wants. This is why so many "Average Joes" today remain single. Weak personality, unable to make decisions and the like.

Of course, "Judge not, lest ye be judged..."
I'd better judge myself first before judging others... I hope those poor qualities above DO NOT fit me...

I don't have to many things I can think of

Shorter than me (I am 6'4 and I don't want to date a behemoth :P )

A good cook, I don't want to live with bad food for like 50 years :P

Thinks I am funny :P

It's in my personality to try and be funny all the time, but I can be serious, generally at church I am serious because most people don't get my humor :( And I would rather avoid the awkward looks on peoples faces as they slowly try to change the subject :P
