It's important to me to clarify that I wrote this list as what I want in a partner and what I expect from myself before even thinking about getting into a partnership.



compassion/empathy, humour, trust/vulnerability, positivity, respect, boundaries, love, honesty, communication, dependability, presence, open-minded, patient/tolerant, a sense of ease, gratitude



I looked and all these words and at first, I thought it was a lot. But, looking it over again, it's a lot of words but I think this is what a healthy relationship has and are simple qualities I want to see in the people I surround myself with, especially a partner.
- Doesn't smoke

- Animal lover

- Supportive

- Loves traveling

- Want kids

- Good sense of humor

- Financially stable

- Faithful

- Honest

- Committed
Working through two "relatinship" books. 1. Calling in the one 2. Married in 365
1. Enjoys movies
2. Loves dogs
3. Is open and honest
4. Committed
5. Supportive

I feel like some of these are whats necessary anyway. Guessing lack of these is why my previous relationship failed.

I'm glad to see that I'm certain about what I would like in a relationship. I hope to be in my ideal relationship/marriage in the future someday.
I think I need this because another goal I have (that I don't think I'll bother adding to my 101) is to stay single until "it" comes along. It'll be easier to say "no" if I know that what I'm being offered isn't what I want. I'm going to have to think long and hard about the "criteria" though.
