THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY IN A LIFE PARTNER

I was clearing and looking back at some of my past emails and stumped about this one sent by my friend. Obviously, my friend agrees with what it says and I too share the same sentiment. Quite an interesting article..enjoy:


If I were to ask you "What's the most important quality that you seek in a life partner?", what wouldcome to your mind?
If recent surveys are anything to go by, women> generally value a sense of humour, a caring nature,and sensitivity to her feelings and needs. For men,what comes up tops usually is a gentle nature, good looks, and yes, a sense of humour. Studies have shownthat for men though, they perceive "a sense of humour"not as having the ability to make them laugh, butbeing able to understand and be amused by their jokes.A fundamental difference in the sexes there? Perhaps,but that's a topic for another discussion. So, back to the most important quality you seek in a life partner.What have you come up with? If you're like most of us, you would either think of a external quality like a smooth complexion or a personality trait,like kindness or being good with children.But how about "happy and fulfilled with an exciting life"? Looks will fade, and a person with a great sense of humour may not necessarily have the strength of character to endure life's challenges. So think about it - wouldn't you rather spend the rest of your life with someone who is independent, happy and with an outlook on life that is enriching,stimulating, and vibrant? I don't know about you, but I know quite a numberof people whom you would not give a second glance at on the street, but the moment they enter a room, they draw the attention of everyone with their lively stride, beaming faces and exuberant talk.That's the most important quality I'd seek in a life partner. Someone who is full of life and energy,a shining beacon through life's dark moments, who can still make me laugh when the terrain gets bumpy. Someone who is enterprising,innovative and always surprising. Someone I can know and love for years and still fall forevery day.An aspect that we often overlook in our search for a mate is his or her attitude towards life. His or her values and convictions. Can they withstand the test of time? The trials of living together? Is it time you re-examined your criteria for a life partner?
