What You See Is What You Get!
More than anything I desire a man who loves the Lord and who strives to deepen his relationship with the Lord.
I'd like a man who is willing to pray with me and discuss scripture and how it applies to life and how to live our lives in a way that honors the Lord.
I'd like a man who is willing to serve the Lord by serving others through volunteering...
I'd like a man who allows me to be me and accepts and loves me for all my good points as well as my flaws.
I could go on and on...a man who has a great sense of humor, who is honest and trustworthy, who likes to travel, who has a sense of adventure, who likes to go to the movies and to concerts...
Ok...that's enough - I'll stop talking now!

One word that encompasses other qualities in a "perfect" mate: C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E.
A confident woman is:
1. Humble because she knows she doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. She already knows she's ALL that and sees no need to be showy about it.
2. Sure-footed because she knows her strengths and utilizes them for her own unique benefit.
3. Independent because she is self-sustaining and does not "need" a man per se, which frees her to be able to just "want" one anyway. Translation: no co-dependency!
4. Has a healthy self-esteem and does not need anyone to instill that upon her but to have it assured once in a while is nice.
5. Low maintenance for all the reasons given above.
In other words, a confident woman is a complete woman.
I hear women all the time saying they are looking for a "confident man" for a potential mate. Well, well, it seems that goes for us men too when were looking for the same character trait in the fairer sex.
At least this man is, anyway.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do - Proverbs 16:3
Not psycho.
In other words he does not say, beat walls, cars, or anything else and does not foam at the mouth at people's opinions which are different from his own. Etc.
It should be a given that being a Christian would be a necessary quality, but there are plenty of psycho Christians.

A confident woman is:
1. Humble
etc......
What a load of rubbish. Confident doesnt mean humble, we only want it to. I happen to know plenty of confident men who are nethin but humble and also make pretty awful husbands too. Not that I dont like confident.
And I aint sayin what you said is rubbish, but that what you quoted is. I dont even know who it's from. Do I get a warning neway?
There are also many who arent confident who could be and those who are who wont be in the future. But then thats also like with everything. Just coz sb's nice now doesnt mean they'll always be. You cant judge sumthin or someone from the way they are at present. Tho we have to judge them somehow and what we see is the only way most of us can I suppose, except for the rare ones of us that can hear God regarding others, but you can also be mistaken the way I was about certain ppl who, for all the love I held in my heart for them, were pleased to treat me like trash.
Im done.

I would like there to be some depth to her personality. If she finds humor in life, and isn't afraid to wrestle with profound ideas, then she's my kind of girl.

Godliness. If he's truly seeking truth and God and living his life for Him then everything other quality i'd deem important is going to fall into place.

The number one thing I desire is that she loves God above all others and therefore loves all God creatures, and that includes ALL.

a Godly man-meaning that he puts God first in his life and trys to honour Him each day with his life, but if i could pick something else I would pick a well defined sense of humour. Oh and he must think i'm the cat's meow.

Lots of good stuff posted, but for me its Faith. A deep, fiery faith transcends all other desirable qualities. A deep faith leads to confidence (which I agree is the most attractive feature in a woman). Confidence leads to other desirable traits. Faith leads to a positive life outlook, which generally leads to growth and productivity in a worldly sense, as well as a spiritual one. Faith under fire demonstrates countless other Godly traits, which are all desirable in a long-term relationship (leading to marriage). And above all, faith is evidence of His love in others, and his plan its Gods reflection, the closest we can come to Him in this life.

Loves God, is honest (which should come somewhat naturally with loving God) and have a great sense of humour.
These three elements are nearly in a three-way tie because I've learned that being around people for a long period of time who are lacking one or all of the above makes me depressed.

I want a spouse who is authentic - not hiding who they are to follow trends and not playing mind games. If they are authentic then I can more easily the other traits I would want in a husband - and don't have to second-guess whether they're real.
