Everybody has its own criteria in choosing a real-life partner. It may depends on one's age, point of view in life, lifestyle, economic status, experiences, and a lot more. Some says that we should follow our heart... and others advice us to follow our mind instead.
In my part, my criteria are religion, character, compatibility, and wealth.
How bout you what is your criteria?...

I agree with that idea. As per my observation, one of the common problem in the family that arises is having a different faith and beliefs. It is important and really that important that couple must have shared the same religion for they are united as one when they get married. And beside one household cannot serve two masters at the same time.

Well I think that it depends on what your goals in life are. For me I want a family, a nice house, a dog and a cat, enough money to have fun with the family but not neccessarily be rich, I need laughter, love, etc. So that's what I looked for and what I found. When I was dating my husband I figured out what his goals in life were and they matched mine. It also helps that we're head over heels in love. Now we have a two year old daughter, a baby boy due on December 22nd, two dogs, three cats, and a nice place to call home!I actually think that choosing a life partner takes your heart and your mind. Sometimes your heart wants things that aren't neccessarily good for you so you need your mind to help out in terms of being realisitc about a situation. For example, there are women and men who are in a relationship with a person who isn't faithful to them, but for some reason their heart tells them to stay. That's when you need your mind to kick your heart's butt and convince it that you're not in a good relationship and that's it's time to let go.

First of all.. God bless to your upcoming baby boy and to your whole family. I like what you have said. It's true that you should know your partner's goals in life before you decide to go further.. and it is important that both of your goals are compatible... and another thing, both heart and mind are necessary in decision making. Thumbs up for you RyanneD. God bless...

I think at least he should share some common with me,say, with similar background,have same topics etc.Besides his personality should be compatible with mine.But above all, i should at least feel his love.I don't want a partner who seems to easily break up with me.I hope my ideal one will come soon.^^

Compatibility for me is also a necessary criteria. Sharing some common likes and dislikes is important but not necessarily at all times. Couple must also learn to give and take, and it would be fun if you like what your partner likes too. A partner who do not break easily in any situation is a great one. May God gives you the desire of your heart amend328.
