It is very true that no one is perfect, and it's almost impossible—if not completely impossible—for one to find a perfect person as a life partner. The man and woman come together and sacrificially bury the characters they don't find pleasing, allowing the characters they like to overshadow them.
My own belief is that, since we can't find something that's completely perfect to our taste, we can find someone with 99% of what we want, right? I'm asking because I want my wife-to-be to be 99.9% perfect. God can hold the remaining 0.1% so as not to appear partial in the eyes of others. 😏
I have read a lot about people insisting that physical beauty shouldn't be given much consideration over inner qualities when selecting a partner. Well, that's a good point, but it isn't bad to have someone who is extremely beautiful and possesses all the other desirable qualities too. Is it? No, it's not a bad thing.
So yes, my wife must be beautiful. I must be able to look at her and thank God always for bringing such an angel my way. The beauty I speak of here must not necessarily tally with what the world sees as beauty. She must be my complete spec. You want to know the qualities? I would rather make a full article on that—next week.
That thing they say about beauty being in the eyes of the beholder—well, I don't want to look into her eyes first before seeing the beauty. Just coming across her name saved on my phone should picture that beauty into my heart and make it tingle with joy.
My wife must be intelligent, smart, hardworking, and supportive.
Okay, I decided to mention 'intelligent' and 'smart' separately just to clearly point out that she mustn't be an 'olodo' academically, and she must also be smart—if possible—in all works of life. For example, she must be tech-savvy.
I love it when my wife is on the same level of IQ as I am. With this smartness, she can be sourcing funds online.
Who doesn't want a supportive partner? No one!
I would want my wife to have her own means of making money—either by working, running a business, or possessing a digital skill—and be very supportive of the financial needs of the home.
I am not saying I'm going to share financial responsibilities with her, no, but she should be able to cover some bills without me asking—or even when I ask.
Let me stop here for now.
