A Specific Kind of Man
so
I've been discussing love and relationships with some writer friends
and fellow bloggers. Working on some love poetry and writing. Here are
some comments about a question I was asked... Interesting cuz I
wouldn't have been able to answer such a question had I not first found
such a man (my husband).
It's easier to describe the one you fall
in love with, rather than to create a list of requirements to search
for. I don't think anyone knows what that special person will truly be
like or what specific things about them you will fall in love with. I
think real love is a spiritual attraction that God ordains, and then
the physical attraction (while always there) intensifies -- as who they
are in character and in Christ is revealed to you.
Some people
settle for physical attraction, and never really know what love is...
that physical and spiritual connection that truly makes you one in
every sense of the word. The physical is merely the sweet-smelling
wrapper that protects what's inside... though it is hugely important
and must be kept clean... the spiritual is the real treat, the
spiritual is the candy ^_^

Q: What Specific Kind of Man Attracts You?
Selah:
genuinely kind but not a push-over, and not for a show, a kindness that
just comes naturally and almost unnoticed to bystanders.
cares about his appearance but isn't obsessed with it, can spill
something on himself at dinner, clean it as best as he can, be bummed
but not freak out about it.
Must love music, preferably
plays drums or guitar. Appreciates beautiful things on a deep level,
but doesn't have to cry over a breath-taking painting. Sensitive in a
sexy and casual kind of way, not as an eccentric.
Loves a quiet empty afternoon, but can switch gears in a moment and plunge into something exciting.
Appreciates sport cars, may even own one in his life time, but doesn't
have to have one. Doesn't find his identity in image or stuff. Sees
people rather than what they have or don't have... really sees them.
Values what's important.
Gentle, strong, patient, challenging, forgiving, willing to listen,
willing to teach, not crowding or pressuring me constantly, giving me
room to fail or to change, sensual, physical, spiritual, leading those
that are weaker, following right authority, having integrity, honest,
truthful, faithful, protector, provider, companion, friend, lover,
stranger... like Christ <3
