We all have very high expectations or ideals about our future life partners. It is quite natural to have preconceived ideas about our future husbands or wives. It will indeed, be rare to find an ideal life partner with all the virtues and qualities that we exalt. Perhaps that is the reason why some relationships that have strong initial potential tend to become sour.

In reality we have to adapt ourselves and accommodate our spouses’ faults and shortcomings to make marriages successful alliances. I also have my dreams and fantasies of what an ideal husband should be. In the first place, he should be a gem of a character with a heart of gold. Good character and personality traits top my list of priorities. I would not want a man with Brad Pitt’s physique or Hugh Jackman’s charm because, then, he would be sought after by every other woman. If he happens to have a roving eye, then he may be unfaithful. No, I would prefer a man with average looks but who has good reputation and without any major flaws in his character.

I also enjoy shopping and travelling. I have expensive hobbies and therefore tend to be extravagant. It is, therefore, quite natural for me to expect my life partner to be thrifty and who would, at the same time, try and curb my spending habits.
