I'll add to that list: Godly, tender-hearted, strong, sensitive, smart, humorous, honorable, respectful of women, clean, good father, good husband, good friend, good neighbor, good employee, gets up when he falls, helps me up when I fall, understanding, and not self-absorbed...really looks at you when you talk and engages in the subject matter~no matter how many times he might have heard it, because you do the same for him. Kisses you even when not working up to physical intimacy. Tells you he loves you every day and really means it. His face lights up when you come in the room, no matter how many years you are together.
He doesn't complain about you at work and you can't think of anything to complain about him at work either. He truly is your friend and worries about what you might think of something, because that's what friends do, but also is the man of the family and is strong enough to lead it on right pathways, not giving into the weaker intentions of a woman or the kids, but goes where God would have him lead.
He sees what needs to be done before you mention it, because he is observant~in other words, you won't need to nag him because he is working one step ahead of you. He also expects the same of you, because that's how a partnership is....both working together, but also independently. He allows you to be who you are, because that is who he married, but he also shows you who you could be when equally yoked with him and going in a single direction.
In other words, he's a dreamer and he takes you along into those dreams and even wants to go along in your dreams, as long as they are both of a godly endeavor. You can walk, work and love side by side without worrying about who has the upper hand....God does, then your husband because you can trust him to have it, then you, because he trusts you to carry what he cannot.
He's a joy to work with, live with, travel with, sleep with, have intimacy with, have kids with, have a meal with, go through hard times with, go through joyful times with, worship with and have a life with. That's the perfect "rooster" for me.
I could spend weeks and not have come up with it all so perfectly put, Bee. Too bad so few men are of a Godly nature anymore. Too many women's fault is not finding husbands in church or taking them there before putting a ring on their fingers. I am that kind of guilty. And good for you, Bee! I saw cockoftherock's comment an honest request for some female input and it seemed as if all were going to ignore him. (I am at least a day behind reading this). Finding a man who aspires sincerely to all that would be enough for me. But it looks like women will have to do. Female friendships are so much more fulfilling (platonically speaking of course). I have to feel sorry for men after divorce. We have our strong support systems and they are simply set adrift. Oh well, back to chickens.
My pullet with the leg out of socket? The vet put it straight and put a splint on it and it had a "dead" foot afterwards but now she is moving the toes a bit so hasn't lost nerve function after all which means she may walk okay. We'll see in about 3 weeks. : )
