My Future Husband

My future husband | |
| |
|Along the road from cradle to grave many of us get married. This in itself can cause more emotional disturbance than all the |
|other events of our lives combined. Many factors make the difference between marital bliss and having "an old ball-and-chain" |
|but the most important factor is probably whom we choose to marry. That is why I often meditate on the qualities I would seek in|
|my future wife. |
|To be honest, the first thing I notice when I meet a girl is whether she is pretty or not. Long lashes and sparkling eyes do not|
|cause someone to "fall in love at first sight", of course, but few people go round seeking ugly mates. I am no different. |
|Of course, I would also prefer to have a wife who is intelligent. Some men have the stereotyped "dumb blonde" image of a perfect|
|woman. However, I know my life will be enriched by having an intellectually stimulating partner to share my thoughts with, and |
|to offer fresh insights to old situations. More importantly, a husband and wife should be intellectually matched so that they |
|can understand each other. |
|Sports and games and other recreational activities are fun and foster closer ties. Who better to enjoy sports with than my wife?|
|This will draw us even closer together. A wife should, after all, be a true friend whom I can have fun with and want to spend my|
|leisure activities with. So, my ideal mate will be someone who participates in the games and sports I like or at least, be |
|willing to learn them.
