What kind of person did you marry?

You know the saying that men marry women like their mother and women marry men like their father. Do you think this is true? Does your partner have any personality similarities to your mother of father? In what ways? I didn't originally think my husband had any of my dad's traits or quirks, but every now and then I see some of my dad's personality.

I'm not married, but I hope I don't marry someone like my dad, He'd be WAY too much like me!

LOL....sounds dangerous! Joking. I see traits of my dad every now and then in my husband and I always think to myself I'll have to put an end to that!:)

Definitely! I always think that's sort of weird anyhow. Like, I've found I've never been attracted to blonde haired blue eyed guys because frankly that's my brother. It'd be weird to date someone who looks similar to my bro. I'd feel the same about being with someone who reminded me of my dad.

Yeah, my dad is tall, skinny, and balding. Not really my ideal man. They got to have some meat on em'.:)

I guess so! Because I find my future husband as responsible as my father. The way he cares for me, how he traits me as a princess and how much he loves me.

My hubby takes good care of me too. Actually, much better than my dad for the past several years we have been together. Thanks for the comment.:)

Maybe that saying is true in part.For me,i 'd rather to choose a husband who is responsible,loving children,considerate,of course he must be hard-working.Yes,that is the most important thing to be a good husband.I will not care so much about his looks.In my opinion,personality is more important than outlook.

I agree. You should pick your partner based on their qualities. The best looking man won't necessarily be the most loving husband.
