Relationship Priorities

Written by Carminwharton on

To help you sort out what you desire in a mate and a relationship, try this. Get a sheet of paper and draw vertical lines so that you end up with 3 columns. List these as categories over each column:

Ideal

Realistic

Minimum

In each column list your requirements for a mate. Then underneath that list, write your requirements for a relationship – there is a difference. I’ll use myself as an example.

1) Those that are your ideal. My ideal relationship would be with someone who has their own business. My ideal mate would be deeply spiritual with chiseled abs (okay let me dream already).

2) Those that represent a realistic target. My realistic relationship is one in which the man is employed but is aspiring to be an entrepreneur. My realistic mate would believe and God, working on deep spirituality and he may have a little more to love around the tummy (I certainly do).

3) Those that are the minimum. My minimum relationship would be with someone who works. Period. My minimum mate would be someone who believes that God exists and would be rail thin (I don’t care for thin men but a grossly overweight man just won’t cut it for me.)
