|
I am looking for someone between:
|
|
The kind of person that I am looking for:
|
Gentle, chesed is important to me and so is loyalty. She must have enough education to be able to maintain a conversation with me. I've got to be able to share with her my thoughts and my feelings so she must be sensitive, nurturing and supportive. Torah background must be good enough to maintain a frum household and help me in my Torah observance. She must be sociable enough to make our home welcoming. Being a good cook is a bonus but not a must. If her cooking is so bad we can always hire a caterer, a chef or something... =o) ...besides, I'm a good cook!
|
The kind of person that I am definitely NOT
looking for:
|
brash, pushy, cold and Torah and secular ignorance and lashon hara.
|
The kind of relationship that I am looking for in a marriage:
|
Chesed, mutual respect, trust, nurture, encouragement, listening and supportiveness. I'm looking for a ezr k'negdo, a life partner. Everything else is fluff.
