We've been happily married 36 years, and I guarantee you, some of the key elements of a successful relationship - married or otherwise - are:
1) A long list of common interests; things you both enjoy doing TOGETHER as opposed to separate interests and separate groups of friends.
2) A lot of tolerance for each other's differences. As much as you share in common, you're still going to rub one another wrong from time to time. Be mature and deal with it. Separate the small $h!t from the serious stuff.
3) A sense of compromise; so that you can work out your problems with a minimum of emotional trauma. It's marital negotiation.
4) A sense of sympathy and forgiveness. You're both going to screw up on occasion. You need to be able to forgive, forget, and move on with the relationship.

Just be aware of false people. You must have a spirit of discernment and allow God to be your husbandman until He sends you your husband. I believe that God sends you your husband, he will find you. It says that he who findeth a wife findeth a good thing and favor. So, have a relationship with Jesus and He will answer you when the time is right.
My husband, well he wasn't my husband at the time, but He had seen my twice. Once at a Biblical class and another time just walking by. He asked me to marry him and I said yes. He asked me to wait for God to get him all together and when the time came where we met back up; 2 years later we started dating and got married 1 year after that.

My dear a man that has a personal relationship with JESUS is the best man ever because he would have the love of GOD in HIM and he would know how to love HIS wife.

a guy who knows biblical teachings. one that will marry you not because you have cleavige down to your butt. And one that is going to care for you through everything. and someone your not going to divorce just because you get into to many fight.
may God bless you and everyone you love!
