What top three qualities did you look for in your spouse? If you aren’t married yet, what top three qualities are you looking for in a spouse?

I’ll get us started …

For me, the number one quality I looked for in my husband was that he loved the Lord with all of his heart. Being on the same page spiritually was something I learned to be an absolute must! Plus, I knew that if he loved Christ and had a personal relationship with Him, then he would know how to love me and fulfill his God-given role as a husband.

Secondly, I needed a husband that I could have fun with! A merry heart does good, like medicine (Proverbs 17:22). Laughter for me is absolutely essential, and Steve and I laugh together all of the time. We have the best time no matter where we are or what we are doing, and I love that!

Thirdly, I looked for someone with a strong conviction and leadership qualities. I’m a strong personality myself, so I wanted to make sure my husband could give me a run for my money. It was important to have a man that is a strong, wise leader that I could come alongside with complete trust and confidence. Steve is definitely the strong leader I needed and looked for.

Okay, it’s your turn!
