From both men and women

Besides looks and religion!!

Decided to make this thread because of another thread as well as my personal need to overcompensate for my lack of attractiveness

And also because I think it is insanely cute when people talk about their spouses šŸ™‚
 
He is a very generous person, and a very strong person when difficult situations present themselves. He can handle things that I cannot.
 
Sheā€™s very gentle and loving. She would always be concerned if I was tired after work or had to cycle in the dark. If I was tired after a hard day sheā€™d offer to make coffee or get some food etc. Sheā€™s also very appreciative of little things I do for her. (And that becomes incentive to do more little thingsā€¦ )
 
The Husband is one of the kindest people I have ever met. He would not wish ill on anyone. I wish I were more like him in this regard.
 
Mine is great with kids. Keeps the highly energetic toddler busy for hours and tires him out completely. They pretend theyā€™re mechanics or tow trucks or policemen for example.
 
He is very thoughtful and considerateā€“one example is I have never had to put gas in my carā€¦everā€¦i am not as thoughtful, but I try.šŸ˜Š
 
Iā€™d admire a sharp bit of wit. And a lot of real feeling.

Some true understanding of life and its turns. A dose of empathy and compassion.

And a willingness to fight the good fight. To lead by example. To follow in humility. To jump in to help. To not have too much pride to be helped in turn.

Someone not afraid to have fun. But who knows when to call it a night.

I think Iā€™d like someone who kept me accountable. Who had a ready faith. But who knew how to be patient.

Iā€™d fancy someone strong enough to be weak at times. Thereā€™s no shame in that.

Peace.

Her logical mind. But also her simple need to just be loved.
She really is one person who just needs love. And that makes me feel like that is my purpose. I love that we are always on the same team.
 
My boyfriend is very funny and can talk to just about anyone.

Iā€™ve been able to confide my deepest secrets and flaws, and he has accepted and loved me just the same.

I admire him, because heā€™s disabled and still works, competes in marathons and dance competitions. Heā€™s won second place in the 42K wheelchair division marathon in LA whereas I can make it up the hill outside my house in my wheelchair!

I like that he knows how to fix things.

Heā€™s very positive and disciplined, into healthy living.

The fact she doesnā€™t exist.
 
What impressed me most when we were dating is how well he treated even those he had no reason to impress: wait staff, strangers, whoever. A person trying to impress you will be good to you, but a person who is genuinely kind will be kind to those he has no reason to think you care about. He is good-hearted and has a good sense of humor, and is very sensible. I figured that every married person has to give in to what their spouse wants from time to time, so Iā€™d not want to give the deciding vote to someone whose judgment I didnā€™t respect when we didnā€™t agree.

As for looks, those are fine but you have to be ready for them to go:
ā€œFor these fellows of infinite tongue that can rhyme themselves into ladiesā€™ favors, they do always reason themselves out again. What! A speaker is but a prater; a rhyme is but a ballad. A good leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will turn white, a curled pate will grow bald, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax hollow; but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon; or rather, the sun, and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps his course truly.ā€ Henry V, Act 5, Scene 2

Yes, I understood that, but given the thread title Iā€™m wondering why you find this absence attractive. There are possible legitimate reasons for this, so Iā€™m curious as to what yours is/are šŸ™‚
 
She is completely reliable, I know how she will respond to practically any situation.
She is very devoted to our children. She is cheap to keep. She is a very good cook.
She likes suspense and horror movies (so do I). She is a fitness nut, so always in good shape.

Weā€™ve been married almost 27 years. After all the fascination and desire wear off, itā€™s the pleasant little things in life that keep ā€œloveā€ going.
 
Sheā€™s the smartest and strongest person I know as well as the most charitible. I really hit lifeā€™s lottery when she agreed to marry me 19 years ago.
