What are the most important characteristics in a potential husband?

Besides having a loving and caring partner -- what things are important when deciding to marry someone? If you can tell me from your marital experiences that would be great !What are the most important characteristics in a potential husband?
Don't marry a guy who is still living at home - he will be WAY too dependent on you to replace his mother!! LOL.....





Personally, I think the most important thing is being able to talk about things, anything, any topic. Having similar interests, and being able to have fun and interesting conversations about general stuff makes a marriage fun and stimulating.





Friendship. He needs to be a good friend.What are the most important characteristics in a potential husband?
A huge factor for me was whether or not we had the same ideals about raising kids. This was especially important in my situation because I have two kids of my own, and my husband has a child that he has full custody of, so she lives with us. If we didn't see eye to eye on things, there is no way (at least in my opinion) that we would ever have been able to work, because it is never good for a relationship or the kids if the parents are opposites in the way the raise kids.
Being friends is the utmost characteristic in our relationship. That allows us to share mutual interests, spend a lot of time together and have great sex. Since I wouldn't waste my time on a friend unless s/he was honest and kind, it has worked out wonderfully for us.
Someone who is honest; doesn't hide things from you (good as well as bad); someone who treats you with respect and courtesy; has good communication skills and is able to tell you when they don't like something; someone that you have common future goals; someone who can carry on a conversation; and someone who will support you in your dreams.
Honesty, integrity, kindness, sense of humor, respect. You want someone who loves you enough to be honest with himself and you.
Respect for each other is the most important aspect in our marriage. If you can't respect them or they won't show you respect, then life can become very difficult.
Honesty, Passion, communicative, understanding....
