Libby Nicholas kept a list of seventy-seven qualities she wanted in her future husband: has a strong handshake, is musically talented, volunteers at a homeless shelter, and, oh yeah, doesn’t eat at McDonald’s.
When she realized her list was full of negotiable traits that often take a lifetime to develop, she switched tactics and wrote out five non-negotiable traits she was looking for in a future spouse. You can read her lists and the rest of her article here.
Now it’s your turn: What non-negotiable traits are you looking for in a future spouse? Make a list of about five qualities, traits, or physical attributes you feel are important. Then choose one item on your list and explain it more fully. If you are not planning on marrying, write down about five non-negotiable traits you believe everyone should look for in a spouse and explain one of those traits.
