The 5 Most Important Traits in a Boyfriend or Husband

Spiritual Status

The number one thing I would look for in a husband is what their spiritual status is. I want someone who goes to church regularly and has a close relationship with God. The men in my family go to church and live for God and I see a huge difference in the way they act and the way non- believers act.

The second important thing to me is a hard worker. I want someone who is going to get the harder work done around the house and even if they don’t like doing it they will do the work because it needs to be done or because I ask him to. My dad is a hard worker and our house and outside area is in such great condition because he does fixes what needs to be fixed or cleaned up.

The third most important thing to me is someone who enjoys children. I don’t want to have a lot of kids but I want someone who is going to be patient and loving. I want someone who won’t mind playing with them if I’m busy or watching them if I have something I need to get done.

The fourth most important thing to me is someone who is good with money. I’m not very good with money and I would rather trust in someone else to take care of it. I want someone who is good at balancing a checkbook and doing the taxes.

The fourth most important thing is someone who doesn’t like to grocery shop and will let me get whatever I need to. I have a blast grocery shopping and I always look for the best prices. I want someone who is going to trust me to get the best prices and not buy too much. I also want someone who doesn’t like to cook that much but won’t mind helping if I need help.

Honesty and Trust

The fifth most important thing to me is someone who is honest and trusting. I want someone who will tell me if they don’t like something. I also want someone who trusts me to make the right decisions and trusts me to not be with other guys! Which I would never do, because if I marry someone I’m going to love them and why would I want to be with anyone else?!

I hope all of my most important things in a guy help you think through what is most important to you. I have never thought about any of this and it was very interesting to think through what I think are some of the most important characteristics in a husband, or even just a boyfriend.          

The Wonderful World of Blogging

Seven tips to a successful blog

1. Connect with your readers.
People will remember you and keep on reading your posts if they can connect with you on a personal level. What better way for them to connect with you than if you make an ‘About page’ and add a welcoming message? On your ‘About’ page tell where you are from, what you like, what you dislike, you’re passions. I have found that I am more likely to read a blog if it has an ‘About’ page and a welcoming message than if a blog doesn’t have these posts. I feel more connected to the person.

2. Market your blog.
If you have a Myspace or Facebook, put a link on your profile. This will get the word out that you have a blog. Your friends and family will click on the link out of curiosity and hopefully LOVE what they find. :D Then they will spread the word that you have a blog and you will get more visitors. The day I posted my blog’s URL on facebook I got 140 visitors.



3. No fluffy stuff.
Give people your best work. Don’t just post information that has come off the top of your head. COME ON! Do some research; it’s not that hard. Google Alerts sends you information on the topic you are researching. I signed up for it and found it helpful. You will get more readers and followers if you give them quality information.

4. Be honest.
Don’t just tell people what they want to hear. Give your opinion, state why you think that way. People want to know YOUR opinion not someone else’s. Also, don’t go on and on about what you think. Give people a chance to digest your post.

5. First Impression.
I think that the most important part of your post is your headline. The second important part is your first few sentences. Ask a question that will make people curious and get them thinking. Use a famous person’s quote to prove your point. Give a shocking statistic, but make sure it’s relevant to your post. Visual appeal is also important. Someone might come to your blog to read an article of interest but leave right away if you blog isn’t colorful, or organized.

6. Proof Read.
Ask a family member’s opinion on your post. Have him look for grammar mistakes that you might have missed. You want people to be able to read what you write.

Complete Circle

7. Allow Feedback
Ask your readers to reply and give their opinions. This will show that you care what your readers think. This completes the circle of communication, first I connected with my readers, now their connecting with me.
