What qualities do you currently view as essential in a partner/spouse?

yes i agree, even best friends who turned to be lovers will have conflicts once they live in one roof. while you think you have known all your partner's qualities, then you will suddenly be surprise to know you hardly knew him. it is very important to know each other, to love each others flaws and grow and change for the better. it is really true that maturity helps a relationship grow. we should not expect that we will have a perfect relationship because we will never have. a good relationship is where both of grow positively and the love is forever circulating and flowing. both of you should respect each others opinion and most of all trust each other.

The important qualities that are essential to my husband. Well one is him respecting me that has always been important being able to respect each other even when you don't agree with each other. Him loving me for me and me doing the same for him. A friendly man that is stronger independently as well as when he is with someone. My husband had all of that from the being in. We aren't a 100% compatible because I don't think two people should always like the same things you need a little bit of differences in each other and some times what you want in life. If you can support each other as a couple and as an individual then you'll almost always be okay and not agree with things is a good thing some times too.

I really think that the most important quality that you need to find in a partner or spouse is trust. The reason that I think that this is so incredibly important is because I don't think that any relationship is able to survive if there is any kind of a lack in trust. Another quality that I think is important at this point in my life is that my spouse or partner would have to be on the same page as me when it comes to raising children.

The qualities that I'm aiming for a man is that he's the one who aims for perfection in every aspect of life. I want someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I want someone who can give me mental stimulation. I also look for a man who is sensitive enough to knows what I need.

I am young but I do know what I have and what I want. My boyfriend has slot of qualities that drive me crazy but no one is perfect my boyfriend has a huge hart and a good seance of humor. He also lives me for me which makes me a very lucky girl in my opinion. Lots of people's problem with finding a partner is that they expect perfection but a relationship is something you have to work on every dat

Hi there Dominique25, Me i guess what i was looking for back then is someone that is the whole package I know that it is rare and not most people would agree but that was what i was gunning for and i caught it, before i wanted to be with someone that is beautiful so i dont look at other women, i wanted someone that was hot so i can avoid being unfaithful, smart so that i can sharpen and also sharpen her wit, spontaneous so both of us can enjoy life to the fullest, respectful a person that you can be with with a dream so that we can both try to grow together and understanding i am not perfect yet she will accept me and compromise for me. I know that it sounds selfish and somewhat chauvinistic but i guess i know what i want in a woman and better be with someone that you will never have any excuses to leave because once i love the person that i choose only God and her can make me stop that love. Hi yah babe.

I think the first is whether he can accept me for who I am. I don't intend to be change by anyone nor did I intend to change anybody. I am easy to be understand as well. That's why I want him to accept me as me. Then the second quality is loyalty. I can be loyal to a partner, that's why I can't accept if he can't do the same.

The first one that came to mind was: faithful. It is a quality that I won't ever compromise. Next is honest. Then, persevering. :)

In what I see, there should be a healthy relationship with a man and a woman. They should be compatible with one another. A man/partner/spouse should be number one be faithful and loyal. Without fidelity, marriage would be nonsense. This is a proof that they love each other just by being faithful. There is a feeling of happiness that you have a loyal partner for you.second the partner should be understanding. He or she acceps his partner for who he is. Accepting the imperfections is one example. Third, the spouse should be loving and caring. He or she understands the needs and concerns of the partner everyday. Fourth, there should be honesty between the two. Honesty they say is the best policy right? When one is honest one is also loyal.fifth and the last but not the least, the spouse should be God-fearing. He understands the word of God and somehow applies it to his daily life. God is the center of their relationship. All of the things they do, they offer it to the Lord.
