The relationship-obsessed musician Alanis Morissette penned a popular song listing an inventory of traits that she liked her lovers to have.
Since we're not all pensive, wry, and melodramatic songstresses, I figure we don't need quite so long a list. But I'm curious: What are seven qualities that you treasure in a life partner? A sense of humor? Political awareness? Compassion? Patience? A shared love of food, or puppies, or old movies?
Like Alanis says, these aren't requirements, or neccessarily deal breakers, but the sorts of things that make you smile more than not. If you're celebrating your 25th wedding anniversary, what do you appreciate most now? If you're single and hopeful, what would make a prospective love shine?
These are 21 things that I want in a lover --
Not necessarily needs, but qualities that I prefer.
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter.
