Hi, you have a great idea going! I hope it goes well. Five qualities I seek in a man: (1.) Courage. Courage to stand for a noble cause in the face of great difficulty (2.) Love for those closest to him: his parents and siblings. (3.) A longing to do right and to seek after the Lord. (4.) Vision for the future. A plan for his own future family and for the Christian communtity at large (5.) Cheerfulness. Blissful in the fulfillment he's found in Christ and sheer love of life. ~Grace

Apr. 23, 2008 - Five Qualities...

Posted by Anonymous

What a great idea to do a survey! :-) Here is a list of five of the qualities that I will be looking for in a young man. 1. Not just that he is a Christian, but that he is actively seeking to follow God's will 2. He should be good and be patient with his siblings, and other young children. 3. I'm hoping that he will agree with me politically, since I have noticed that people's politics greatly impact other aspects of their character 4. Good personal hygiene, another words, he should present himself in a way that is a good witness even if he doesn't talk about God all the time. 5. I want him to be an 'open' type of person. I don't do well with mysterious people I hope that was helpful! I am on homeschoolblogger too, but Jocelyn's blog said to leave anonymous comment... So here you go! :-) Have a great day!

I think he should be: 1. A member of the Reformed Faith. 2. A Gentleman. (Opening doors for ladies, carrying the heavy things for them type of thing.) 3. Have a good sense of humor. 4. Loves music. 5. Likes large families and loves children.

1. Someone who truly loves me for who I am, and doesn't want to make me into someone else. 2. Someone that when I'm simply with them, I get fired up about my walk with God. 3. Someone that I could completely trust with anything and everything, and know would never consider being unloyal. 4. Someone that above all, strives to be the man God made him to be. 5. Someone that I can playfully argue with, with both of us knowing it's a joke, and just playing around. How very cool! Oh, and if I got to name another, it'd be that he DIDN'T like country music, but that's rather beside the point. :)

Hmm... That's a tough one... Here we go! 1. First and foremost, he needs to be a Christian. But not just that, he needs to be pursuing a continuing love relationship with the Lord, 2. Secondly, he needs to have a job that is able to provide for his family. 3. Thirdly, he needs to be able to run his family. 4. Fourthly, he needs to love me for who I am, not what I look like. 5. Lastly (but not leastly!) he needs to have had a good education.

It is so amazing that you are doing this kind of book! These are the qualities I'm looking for: 1. Leadership. He should be someone who can confidently take up his position as head of the household and lead (not drive) it by example in the Christian walk. 2. Loves children. Someone who isn't easily annoyed by the things young children do and can play and relate (to an extent) with them. 3. Self-controled. He should be able to control his anger (and other dangerous emotions) in the event that they should be excited. 4. Good work ethic. I'm not going to marry a couch potato. He should have a good job that he works hard at to support the family. 5. Gentle. He should not be quick to strike with fists or words. He should be considerate of other people's feelings.

I want to marry someone who... 1. ...has a strong and unwavering vision for a Christ centered home. This includes trusting the Lord for one sufficient income and teaching the children at home. 2. ...knows how to disagree agreeably without quarreling but will try to peacefully reconcile important differences in opinion. 3. ...has a high respect for family and will treat his father, mother, siblings, and my family with honor. 4. ...knows that his body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and makes health conscience decisions. 5 ...will love me through thick and thin and understands that marriage is a lasting covenant between him, me, and God.

Apr. 24, 2008 - The Man I Seek

Posted by Anonymous

Okay...it's late, and my thoughts may not come up as TOTALLY accurate, but I felt like I should post now before I forget! Assuming that he's an ON-FIRE Christian....we'll move on from there. 1) Gentle/Humble/Servant leader. I want a man who is willing to stand up and even go a different way for his God. I don't want a doormat, but not a 'LORD' either. I want him to be a 'gentle shepherd' to our family; one who actively seeks God's will for our lives. 2) Financialy secure. It's not the amount of money that I'm concerned with, but the management of it. Obviously, I'd prefer not to live in a card-board box...but I trust in God to provide for me. I expect my man to deal with his money in a godly way. This would mean that he doesn't waste it, he's generous (in a way that honors God) with it, and he knows when it's necessary to spend it. 3) Must love kids and have a 'God controls the womb' mindset. This goes right up there with the previous two...I think that general statement speaks for itself. This will also be a sign of his faith. Along with this 'loves kids' mindset, I hope for a desire to implement godly child-rearing (i.e. discipline and homeschooling etc..) 4) I would like him to be a handy-man....jack-of-all-trades....or whatever you want to call it! While sometimes it is necessary to call in a professional, I want to be able to depend on my husband to GET THINGS DONE without having to spend money that we could have saved. In this same category is a strong work ethic....in other words, I don't want a lazy bum that doesn't want (or know how) to do anything. 5) And of course....I can't leave out the most trivial thing of all...HYGENE! I'm not asking for Mr. Martha Stewart (I couldn't think of the 'guys' version of Martha, so I put 'Mr.'), but I certainly don't want to live with a 'slob' either. I want him to be concerned with maintaining a clean house; this requires that people pick up after themselves as they go. If he is already a 'clean' person, teaching our kids to do likewise will be THAT much easier! That's my list...not in the exact order and not EVERYTHING is covered. I know that the presence of God in someone's life really leads to the characteristics I desire, and so I tried to pick out the things that take a little more 'effort' and aren't always 'there' in 'Christian' men. I hope this helps~ V.

Sorry this is so late - my internet was down for a couple days... Some of these may sound weird, but think about them - it may be necessary later in life. 1)I would like him to be selfless - always looking for ways to serve others 2)Diet. Our diets need to match. 3)We need to have the same political veiws. 4)He must put family before work 5)He needs to believe in courtship and purity - physical, mental, and emotional. I hope that these help you out! God Bless!

Assuming that "Christian" means zealous and not complacent, here are my five with an extra thrown in for fun ;) 1) A faith characterized by love for the body of Christ and a desire to serve them by being actively involved in a local church. 2) A love of children and a commitment to homeschooling. 3) A good relationship with my family (and hopefully his as well). 4) We must be likeminded in our doctrines and convictions. 5) He must be submissive and accountable to earthly authorities. 6) Tall with dark hair, a big smile, and eyes that sparkle when he laughs. : )

There are many qualities I could think of, but here are a few at the top: 1. Spiritual leader 2. True gentleman 3. Strives for Excellence 4. Wise money handler 5. Humble A personal comment: I think it is a great thing to have goals and standards in the type of husband one would want, but I also think it is wise to be concerned with seeking to be the kind of woman that that type of guy would want. May we all strive to be a Proverbs 31 woman and trust the Lord to bring His best to us! He makes all things beautiful in His time (and I can personally confirm that as fact!). ~Courtney

1: He loves and seeks after God with all of his heart 2: He delights in me and loves me whether he feels like it or not. 3: Was raised similar to me (aka. Similar culture [no Mexicans or Frenchman, it doesn't work!] MacArthur, Homeschooling, Bible studies, aka. more mature spiritually, I don't want to have to raise a husband!) And he has to be on the same page as me if not more mature. 4: Doesn't have to worry about proving his masculinity by saying that Jane Austen is "just for girls" 5: Sees the woman as his equal, but knows his own place as the leader, protector and initiator.

one more thing... He has to be willing to let God control his life. If God gives him and I many many children, he must be willing and ready. But if God chooses to bless us with one or none, that he would go to that fate as well (I wouldn't begrudge him that he would be more willing to have 8 kids than not...)
