"i still really want a list of things you feel are important in a relationship (from a male perspective)"

Okay - I started this a few days ago, but have not had much time to work on it.
On the lighter side, it is important to have someone that you really enjoy being around - which sounds simple enough. When I think about MrsY - I REALLY enjoy just being around her. She "gets" my jokes - and I get hers. If I had to explain my jokes to her, our relationship would become tiresome :))).

It is great to have someone you can team up with to work on projects - especially when it comes to spreading Christ's love to others. To be a team it is good to have someone who complements your weaknesses (read my profile :))

As a guy, I feel it is important to take the lead in the spiritual aspects of a relationship: to pray together, to initiate in Bible-reading and devotions, in going to church, and being active in telling others about Christ. Similarly, it is important to take the initiative in staying within proper boundaries before marriage. When you maintain those boundaries, you establish security and trust which are critical in a relationship. Also critical is honesty - being honest about who you are. (I know we always try to put our best self forward in a relationship - but eventually, she has to see the real you, "warts and all" as they say").

Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, but it should make for some good talking points :)

Press ON! - Thanks for your patience!
