Good morning!
About my plans in life. This may be hard to explain so I hope it comes through to you as it comes from my heart. I’ve spent all my life praying that God bring me that special someone to life love and laugh together the rest of my time here on earth. However, in impatience and loneliness, I’ve taken it out of God’s hands and chosen someone myself, then asked God to bless it. The red flags were there but I chose to ignore them, again asking God to heal those things so they wouldn’t be stumbling blocks. I realized through my last marriage that this type of planning won’t work and I must learn from my mistakes. I’m determined to wait this time until I know the person before me is the one God has chosen for me. How will I know? Here are a few of the characteristics I know the person must have for a relationship/marriage to be with me.
• This person must love God and be of highest integrity and honesty, putting all else aside to do the right thing no matter what.
• I must be able to see this and respect this person and trust her with my heart, mind and soul to take the lead in this relationship. I would like to make joint decisions in the relationship but I would like the woman to be wise and strong enough to make the right decision for us as a couple. I can sense weakness in character and that bothers me greatly.
• I’m a very passionate, touchy-feely type of person so there must be physical attraction and chemistry between both of us that would take us through the various times in our lives. There are times when we are not at our best and we would love each other until death do us part – NO MATTER WHAT!
• We would have common interests, likes and dislikes so it wouldn’t really matter where we were, what we were doing, just as long as we were together.
• Family is very important to me and we should share each other’s family as if it were our own. Your child/children should be a good judge of character. They would need to be comfortable with me as a person you intend on living the rest of your life with.
Is this too much of a laundry list? I don’t think so. Notice I didn’t say anything about the person’s career or relocation. Just because I am planning on retiring after I complete this project, this person may still have some years where they work and have to be away. That would be fine with me as long as we work toward a common goal of life together. I want to own my own home here in the United States and in Thailand with you too and enjoy where I live but since I have live in about 5 states in the US so I’m not tied to any one place.
Does all this make sense?
Have a wonderful day!
