My idea of a perfect wife is just someone that wants to be my best friend and someone that I can truly be myself with and talk to and do everything with.
My idea of a perfect wife is just someone that wants to be my best friend and someone that I can truly be myself with and talk to and do everything with.
My perfect wife would be someone that is super selfless, someone that wants to help other people. A big thing for me is someone that is motivated and has a passion. For me, it doesn't really matter what their passion is, but as long as they have something that they're motivated by, something that is pushing them to want to be better every single day, that I can also help push them to be better, that's super important. Someone that's religious and someone that is just fun. Fun to be around when you're doing super fun date activities or just going to the store. Someone that you know no matter what you're doing with them is going to be a good time. And so for me, that perfect wife is someone that I can rely on, that's going to hold me accountable, push me to be better, but also have goals of her own so that I can help her continue to grow and become a person, a better person.
Well, the funny thing is there's no such thing as a perfect person besides Christ and God. So you're not going to find a perfect wife, but I would say the best thing about being married or being able to find someone that you are looking for is just finding your best friend, someone that's going to laugh with you, have your back, and just be the ultimate partner in crime. I think that's really all that matters. They're going to have flaws just like you do, and they're going to have shortcomings just like you do. You know, we all are human beings, and we all are capable of just making mistakes. And so I wouldn't make such a strict checklist because you're not going to find the person that meets that criteria.
Someone who's really good at communicating, someone who really tells you how they feel and really leaves nothing nothing up in the air, nothing that could potentially derail the positive relationship they all have. I think that another is someone who puts your interests first and someone who also expects you to put their interests first as well. So you have a mutually strong relationship of caring about what the other person is interested in.
Obviously, there's no such thing as a perfect girl, and I get that. But the key is to get as close as you can to the perfect girl in order to marry. For me, one of the biggest things is someone who brings me closer to Jesus Christ, and I bring her closer to Jesus Christ as well. And doing that, as we both come closer to Jesus Christ, we both meet in the middle, and it's like a triangle. Also, someone who knows how to cook really good food. And someone who helps me be who I am and not try to be someone else. And I feel like a lot of the time, girls try to put on a fake image and try to be charismatic when they're not, or they try to be more chill when they are charismatic. Just be yourself, man. A guy's going to love you for who you are and for who you're trying to be. I think another big thing is when girls love to serve is another big thing for me.
I think that lots of times girls feel like they have to put on a show in order to be the kind of person that they want to be, but honestly, for me, I feel like it's way more attractive when girls are just trying to be themselves and they don't care what I think about them. They don't care if they make some goofy mistake or act weird at all. I think that makes them more attractive if they're willing to just be open about who they are. I also like a girl who's hardworking and who has a fun sense of humor. It's always fun to be able to laugh and joke with the person you're with. Those are some of the important qualities that I always look for in the girls that I try to date and hopefully in a future spouse.
Hi, fellow life years, what I'm looking for in my perfect wife. The main things that you want to do is create a list for yourself of the things that are most important for you. So for example, um, maybe a big thing for you is being frugal or being financially smart. That's a big thing. Or really, you really care about politics or whatever it is that that's a big deal for you. You want to make sure that you're finding women who, um, gel with you on those topics. Um, as opposed to just looking for the prettiest girl or whatever surface level things you're trying to look for. Um, for me, the, the biggest things for me is to have a, I want to find a girl with a testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. Uh, that's very important for me. I also want to find a girl who's fun, uh, who I can have fun with and who we joke around with and just have a good time. And I also want to find a girl who likes me as much as I like them.
My idea of a perfect wife is the one I'm married to now.
My idea of a perfect life, a very dumbed down summary of it because I don't have the time to share it all, honestly just someone's not going to cause issues. You know a lot of girls will get bored and they'll do something where they just like want to start an argument just to see if the guy still cares which is like weird for a guy that's very annoying. As a guy, at least for myself and the people that I know, we all agree that we just like say we come home from a day of work, a day of school, we just want something that's going to be kind, nice, just like us a hug, maybe like cook some food together, do something, just something to make our life slightly better than it was without you there. We don't want needless arguments, we don't want disagreements, we just want to be friendly, cool, nice, caring, make me feel cared for. That means saying nice things, giving compliments, putting just as much effort as the guy is in terms of like their kindness and other aspects and acts of service. Also just be sweet, just be yourself, be genuine.
So I'm happily married. I have a wonderful wife. She's close to perfect, but my idea of a perfect wife, some qualities are someone who is kind, not just kind to you, but kind to everyone. Someone who is cheerful and happy. Someone who is healthy, who exercises regularly. Someone who is patient, who doesn't get angry easily. Someone who seeks to serve people and likes to set goals and achieve them. Someone who's easy to get along with, so who's agreeable. And you know, it's always a plus when your perfect wife is like super beautiful like mine is.
So my idea of a perfect wife would be really just someone who's my best friend, someone who I can get along with pretty easily. Another big thing for me is just someone who has a big testimony of the church and has a lot of the same beliefs that I do when it comes to things about religion and maybe politics as well. Somebody who I can just have fun with, be myself around. That's another thing too when it comes to my future wife, I just want her to be herself as well. I don't like it when people, guys or girls for that matter, friends or girls in relationships, when they're trying to be someone that they're not. So I just want the person I'm with to be themself.
Another big thing is someone who's not perfect and they own it and they know that they're trying to be better. When they're a leader and they have plans, they have a desire, they have passion. Passion is a big thing. I don't really care what it is. I've noticed that in the girls that I've liked, but as long as they are passionate about something and they have a drive to do something and they have a they have a reason to get up in the morning, then that's a big thing for me. A girl who loves children, wants to have a family, wants to raise them in the gospel and in the church, that's probably how I would define the absolute perfect woman.
My idea of a perfect wife. She's sitting right there. But one of the like, I think it can be really dangerous to think that there's one perfect person out there for you. And my wife and I have had this conversation. But the day that somebody becomes perfect for you is the day that you decide that they will be. So you might be thinking, Oh, like, is there someone else? Is this what I want to be doing? Is like, am I sure that this person is the one and I'm here to tell you, they become the one as soon as you want them to be. When you jump in both feet and say, let's do this. Let's do this life together. Your relationship isn't going to be perfect. But as you are each striving to be perfect for one another. It feels that way. Does that make sense?
So there was a church religious leader by the name of Gordon B Hinckley that gave a great answer to to this type of topic. He said in a speech at one point, you're hoping to catch that perfect person. I've yet to see one who's perfect. Aim high but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. I really love how he phrased that and then he goes on to say what really matters is that they will love you, that they will respect you, they will honor you, that they will be absolutely true to you, they will give you freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents and he keeps going on there and talks about how he's not going to be perfect but if he's kind and thoughtful and works hard and things like that then you will be immensely happy. So I'm going to stand by that answer from Gordon B Hinckley.
