So I created a list of 100 criterias in the ideal man I want for a husband.

My friend said that she went to tell her friend about this list and apparently her friend thought that the list was rather ridiculous and ask me to go to Mars to find such a guy. Well, technically speaking, firstly, Mars doesn't even have a single man. Second, if you don't meet at least 75 % of the criteria doesn't mean no one is this world is able to. I understand that no man is perfect, thus it wasn't even included in my list that you need to be perfect for me to marry you. But if I am going to marry you, at least I know that you are someone of character, values, attitude and habits which I would come to love.

Then, i thought to myself, "If I were to narrow my list down to 1 single criteria, what would it be?" Simple. Point no. 100: Fear of nothing except God. I believe that once you are truly a God-fearing man, you are a true man. One who would want to live by faith and develop the 9 fruit of the spirit, to want to glorify Him in every way, every aspect of life. You will bear the 9 fruit of the spirit which really cover most of my criteria. Loving, faithful, peaceful, joyful, gentle, good, patient, kind and has self-control. You will not do things that will not glorify His name, neither will you act in ways that does not reflect His glory.

Really. Besides the physical, abilities and technical points. The rest, are really, Christ-like characteristics. And it is our duty as a Christian, to want to be more and more like Christ each day.

It may seem like I'm asking for a lot. But in reality, all I'm asking for, is for you be really have a God-fearing character. Because, that's all really matters, and all that it takes to shape you to that ideal man of every girl's list.
