WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A HUSBAND

First up, and first things first: Why do you want to marry a husband?

Is it so that he can keep you entertained with jokes, anecdotes, a little bit of history, assume the role of Romeo, come to rescue you from your distress, or whatever else you may fancy on a whim? If you think hard enough, I would half-jest that a TELEVISION would suffice. The added plus-factor is that the remote control is at your full command.

Perhaps it's because marriage is more or less still a norm and one kinda expect it to be a rite of passage in life. Companionship is a plausibly good reason and ranks up there with procreation -- the power to create (Ummh, I think women do enjoy other forms of power as well aside from their power suits and Porsche.)

Inspite of their nobility, nary would a woman marry because of what they learn in Sunday School that it is not good for a man to be alone. This ball is in the man's side of the court to initiate a serve.

So, why get married to a husband? I think it would be to find greater fulfilment as a woman -- be a wife, mother-to-be and the whole gamut of things that cometh after the courtship, wedding, honeymoon, and blah-blah-blah.

And, oh yes, for love. The first man was delighted to see the first woman, naked and unashamed. According to Genesis 2:23 (KJV), "And Adam said, 'This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.'"

Well, if you have not found or have not been found by your man yet, fret not, he is out there somewhere.
