k2039: The question is straight forward.

Ofcourse I understand we all have more than three criteria in choosing our potential life partner,but for the purpose of this thread,just your three topmost criteria.

For those who are married,what were the three topmost criteria that made you marry your spouse.


For me my 3 criteria are:

BEAUTY: She has to be beautiful
INTELIGIENCE: She has to be smart and intelligient
RELIGION: She has to be a christian,a deep one,preferably an intercessor.

1. Beauty, beauty is in d eyes of d beholder, pls focus on d inner beauty, because if u lay too much emphasis on this, it may blindfold u and preventing u from looking at more impotant things, u know what?, if somebody is well-mannered, kind and nice, she will always look good, take it.
2. Smart and intelligence, yes, i concur with u on this, i cant and dont expect u to marry a dummy or a robbot, who cant take decision on her own.
3. Religion, pls, change this to God-fearing, its possible to be religious and not be God-fearing, but if she is God-fearing, it will be so obvious on her, if a lady really like u and want u at all cost, knowing dt u are crazy about religion, she will pretend until u are both married, after which, she may start to show her real colour. Ladies, nowadays, pretends alot, in order to get what they want, so be careful, dont allow any lady use religion to rope u o, my brother, marriage, requires wisdom, dont be sentimental about it.
Goodluck.

You got it....

deshclones: Intelligence..am d kind of guy that loves to show off ma gal..ma best turn on is hanging out with friends nd family and watching ma gal tk on older nd more experienced peeps in positive nd educative arguments nd discussions.

Hmmmmmm, most of u guys are all lookin for a Tall, Pretty, Fresh, Smooth Girl , that her hips dont lie, and ur mom is short, fat, round, thick like basin, Ole,thief, . . U better b contented like ur father. . . . . (its meant 2b a joke anyway but truth lies therein tho' )

Good list; but which are the top 3 ones?...

topmostg: For me, she must be beauriful, intelligent, super-GOD fearing lady(muslim), good nutured (character). Tall(not extreme. E.g-6'9 upwards.) and extremely respectful.

Lol...and what would you do if you find someone who is not 10 years younger but has all the qualities you require in a spouse?....

cleric:
3. Age : about 10 yrs younger than me....I no want 'arugbo' but let God's will be done.

. . . . . . What height did u just typed? 6'9? Lol, probably u dont know how tall that is, cos Kanu, d tallest Nigeria football player so far is around 6'7 , and Agbani Darego is 6'1 & u r talkin about 6'9? Common, u probably mean 5,9 i guess. . . All d best tho!!

sanb: Good character – Not arrogant, rude or egocentric;

Good sense of humour – One who can make me smile; share my sorrow with me and wipe my tears away; and

Good attainable goals – Set attainable goals for himself and I’ll do my best as his spouse to help him achieve them.

this is the only post that really touched my soul....
well as for mine
a. good character
b. wise woman
c. fully respects me
as for fine, beauty i dont mind as long as she is presentable, infact after my experince with so called beautiful/fine girls i came to conclusion that 98% of them lack even basic character that a woman shld possess to run a home, there beauty dey full theirhead just 2% are exception.

and all those guys lookingfor beauty, figure 8, well set boobs, fine etc by the time she don born 3 and with time all thosebeauty will fade then what will u do?

the truth many dont realise is that marriage is a serious thing oo, a life long issue which will last when built on values, character and good inner content of both spouse more than all these outward stuffs. the outward will all fade with time while the inner content lasts lifetime.

Personality. - this covers most of it. A beaty can quickly turn ugly with a bad personality
Godly. - not much to it.... must love God and do right
Hard worker. -if you are lazy then you are gone
