Bob Marley? Words of Wisdom

I saw this for the first time and it made me stop and think. As woman what do we want or expect in a man? Do most woman have a list in their head of what they want? Before I got married I had somewhat of a list, but I didn't really want to marry either. I had physical things that were a must (straight teeth, full lips, nice butt  LOL you know the normal stuff) But as for other things I didn't really have a LONG list of wants. Gentleman was a must, hard worker, fun, smart, responsible... looking back what good was this list really? I think we go into marriage with the wrong expectations. What about the list you've prepared for yourself? What kind of wife do you want to be for someone? What are your expectations for yourself? I'm not saying don't expect "certain" things from him, like faithfulness or selfishness but the things you expect from him are the same things you should expect for yourself. We all want the perfect man. The kind that spoils us, is romantic enough to surprise us with get away trips, always agree with what we say, wakes up thinking of how he can make us happy that day, Oh and lets not forget he can read our minds :) Mr. Marley is correct, there is no Mr. Perfect. But the man that makes you laugh, the one that is humble enough to admit when he is wrong, the one that forgets to hang his clothes up in the closet or put his cereal bowl in the sink (rinsed of course). The one that doesn't always hear everything you say because he's thinking about the bills. He just might be YOUR mr. Perfect. After all we all have flaws. We all fail at times, and we are all capable of disappointment. The solution? Forgive, Love and Press forward together. Be a team. In the end you both will be perfect for each other.
