For all of you with mr wonderfulls..

I am blessed to have found my perfect man.

I knew on the first date that he was the one. He picked me up at 1:00 pm for and afternoon movie then on to dinner and we didn't say goodnight until 4:00am the next morning! We just couldn't stop talking!(Honestly, just talking!) Two years later we married and it has been one heck of a ride! He's a wonderful provider, a GREAT dad and my best friend. This is not to say that he's perfect, I'm not either. But when you take into consideration all the good, you just don't sweat the small stuff!! Celebrating 22 years Feb. 28th!!

My DH is a wonderful, funny, loving and easy going man. I was so lucky that we stumbled into one anothers paths. I can't say that he is perfect because as PerpleChicken pointed out, nobody and everything 100% of what another person deems as perfect. I must say though, I would never in a million years find another man as devoted to me or that would love me any more.
You have to understand that everyone has their faults or baggage and decide whether you are willing to live with those or not. If they seem to much to deal with, move along and sooner or later you will find the right one.

I'm with Katy. Married 40 years this Spring!! No, he isn't perfect but he will tell you the same thing about me

Does he pick up his underwear, socks or towels and put them in the hamper? Nope!! lol But he is loving, kind and cooks a good meal acouple times a month

and puts up with chickens!!!

List? HAHAHAHA! No list here. No one person can be everthing to another. Just not possible. My love has a great heart, looks like an assasin when he is mad, pretends he doesn't like animals but the cats are always on him, tells me no more chickens and then comes home with chicks....

Well I am 25 years down the line...I knew as soon as I set eyes on him he was the one!! ...and luckily we both felt the same.......he is not 100% perfect but then neither am I....he is my Mr Wonderful......

My daughter made a list...when she first got divorced from a wonderful guy..of course, that was jmo. LOL she is still single..............ten years now and wonders why she can't find a man??? Hello? She won't listen to anyone and does not learn from past mistakes so she keeps spinning her wheels and I am done raising her...she is in her forties. LOL
When I first met my (2nd) dh I knew right off the bat he was the one. He is kind and considerate and tuned into female feelings. He has lost a lot of his "hearing" now

but he is the same wonderful person that I fell in love with 21 years ago. set some standards for yourself but make a long list and you could be good friends with my daughter

I'm 96% happy. I just knew that my current hubby would have to not have the qualities that I did not like in my former husband. Mainly insane jealousy, slobbiness, lack of being a provider, ect.

My dh is really wonderful, and I feel we are very compatible. I'm sure I have things about me that he would have rather not have to deal with, but we are grateful for the things that mesh well.

I agree with the first respondent.

I'm quite happy in my relationship and I don't think anyone can be 100% happy. I mean, there are going to be things that irritate you, etc. That's life.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably have a man that liked animals more, lol. My hubby never grew up with pets so all the animals has taken some getting used to, lol.

I think personality and communication are BIG things. If you can't talk it through, especially with an argument, then you've got a problem. If you can find someone who you are attracted to that is easy to communicate with then you got it made!

Edited to say, I know that some cultures feel that you can't find everything in just one husband/man. And that's why many have a strong relationship with female friends to make up for the parts your husband can't do. For example, my hubby doesn't camp and doesn't like to go on a road trip with no plans. My girlfriends on the other hand love to camp and drive aimlessly. I've been to Europe for a month sleeping in hostels, there was no way in hell my husband would have done that!

I used to have this list I went by.

They had to be over 6' tall or I felt big and ugly beside them. They had to be a couple of years older than me but not too many. Certain jobs were alright, some weren't. The list went on and on and on.........

Then there was my best friend. His "woman" needed to be a couple of years younger than him, no kids, carreer minded, etc.

Well, one night my best friend called me and said "why are we dating these idiots, lets start dating each other.

He is 5' 7" tall, military (which is a no no because of the time apart), 6 years younger than me. I had two kids already, wanted to be a stay at home mom, had no desire to work at ANYTHING except my home and family and doing it right.

My best friend is my husband of 8 years now. He adopted the two children I already had and we had one more. He is an amazing husband and even better father. I love him with all my heart and always will. He is perfect. I think he fits ALL my criteria.

I knew I would marry DH on our first date. After 5 months we were engaged, 7 months later, married. I had no list and he wasn't even gonna get married. We were both 110% happy for awhile, then life happened. We have been married for 15 years but separated for the last 2. No matter how perfect someone can be, or how perfect a relationship may be, people and relationships change. It's how you deal with them and each other that makes things work.
