Relationship: The List

Share post ->

Picked this list from Boundless Line.

When it comes to relationship, there is usually a list of things that one person looks for in the other person…

Boundless came up with a list that I found quite relevant. It is definitely a high standard. For me, I don’t think I have much of a list…I remember telling a friend that she has to…

#1 love God
#2 Look at #1… 😛

I found that from my previous relationship experiences, I like each person for different reason. Granted, the things I found attracted are very common and generic (example gentleness or compassion). Interesting is that things like hobby is not on the top or even on my list. I figure if we are in a relationship, we can find something we both like.

….anyway. This list I figure is a good check up on myself as I develop and mold to be a Godly man….

Spiritual

  • Will he be the spiritual leader of your home?
  • When you share with him your deepest spiritual thoughts, does he relate?
  • Do his life and conversation reveal that he is truly connected with the Savior?
  • Do his goals in life show that he wants to please the Lord above all?
  • Are his goals in life compatible with yours?

Emotional

  • How does he handle anger?
  • (Added by me) Does he demonstrate emotional stability?

Mental

  • Do you respect him intellectually?

Financial

  • Does he have a gambling addiction?
  • Does he have a spending addiction?
  • How does he handle finances (budgeting, what he spends money on, tithing)?
  • Is he a diligent, dependable worker?
  • Does he make enough money to support you and future children?
  • Does he expect you to work outside the home, or does he expect you to stay home with the kids?

Fruit for thought: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

I recently finished listening to the whole series of podcasts on The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. It has been a sobering podcast to listen to. I highly recommend for those who are in seminary or going to ministry full-time to listen to. It is a good reminder that
