It’s public knowledge to a handful of people regarding a list of traits I’ve wanted in a future wife that I started building since high school. However, the knowledge of what’s actually on the list has remained between my maker, the lover of my soul, and me. Withtut going into much detail regarding it, I like to think I’ve grown up and matured a bit since starting this list; likewise, the list has changed (rewording, etc.) through the years. However, the one thing that did not change and that I’m doubtful ever will is that the traits listed first are what I consider to be non-negotiables. What I’ve considered this to mean is that it doesn’t matter what others think I’m losing out on – if the lady that I think is the lady of my dreams, that’s as far as it will go. Don’t get me wrong – I’ll yearn for her to come around to be able to meet the fundamental traits, but without them … – sorry, dear heart, but you’re going to keep waiting for the right one.
Similar to how the hundreds of laws were eventually condensed to the Ten Commandments in the Jewish law, then down to two commandments, I like to think the traits on the list I’ve kept since high school can be condensed into just one really beautiful song. The amazing thing, to me, is that not only does it cover the traits that are non-negotiables, but the ones that I’ve thought “Man, it’d be so cool if she had this and that trait.” It’s like the lyrics describe the ultimate Proverbs 31 woman.
I really hope you enjoy this song, too. It’s an added bonus if the single dudes start desiring someone like the song describes, and even cooler if this song encourages the ladies to be more like her.
“I’ve got old-fashioned sensibilites, I believe chivalry still exists, and I can be a princess even when there ain’t no prince. … “ Lalala.
