The List

So in Young Womens class at Church, we are from time to time asked to make a list of what we're looking for in a future husband. These lists usually contain things like "Temple Worthy", "Return Missionary", "Patient" and so on. My list has things like, "can take a joke, peaceful, can sing and/or play an instrument". But today i added one.

you should ask me about JJ. He's a middle school teacher who turned 50 last year. He's not whipped, but he loves his wife, and you can see it all the time. i remember sitting in class (8th grade) and he would say things like, "i don't know why she married me" or "She's so out of my league" Then he'd tell stories of his family and you'd get the idea that they actually have it together. It's not just a one way thing, they take care of each other.

i met his wife a few days ago and it all clicked. There are very few relationships i've seen like that with people who aren't LDS. But these people glow when you see them. it's awesome. So i've added to my list that whoever i marry has to treat me like JJ treats his wife.
