Hi ...
This is very important. I'm not a game player, I'm not a man-child. I'm an adult who is looking for a wife and purposeful to having a happy and healthy relationship with her, whoever she may be. I'm looking for an emotionally mature, substantive woman of integrity, to join together as an ally, a partner, as one mutual shared team. This is the path I am following, commonality of purpose, from which develops a bond of friendship, from which comes romance, upon which is love. The basis for an enduring love is an abiding friendship, and the most resilient are those with commonality of purpose. I'm genuine and sincere, loyal and faithful. I'm told I am a good man.
Interests
Most people are looking for common interests such as entertainment, hobbies, sports, and the like. That is a shallow basis for a deep relationship because interests may change as people change. What we did as children we do not do as young adults, and the same as young adults may not do as mature adults. Of course we want some shared interests, do you like dancing? Most women tell me I am an excellent dancer [Ballroom, Latin, Country]. Do you like walks, hikes, picnics at beach, rafting? County and State fairs? Arts, ballet, concerts, symphony, theater? All good, this is a portion of commonality of purpose. But these are just interests. Even two people who do not like one another can take a walk on a beach. And does not one have dinner with another before the time of separation and divorce Quite frankly, except for those engaged in extreme sports, almost all of the profiles are interchangeable.
Commonality Of Purpose
My intent is to self-sufficiency, as much as reasonably possible, to lessen the impact of what is to come. This is a portion of commonality of purpose. And there is more, to have a purpose greater than oneself. Is it in your heart to serve meals to the homeless, or for children in deep poverty to have teeth made right, or to bring words of encouragement to those in bondage, these I have done and much more. What is that which is satisfying to the quick of your spirit? that your soul is nourished in a purpose greater than oneself? This is another portion of commonality of purpose.
Spiritual
I am a firm believer in the Creator and christ This is an essential. Spirituality, not religiosity.
Character
"Pertaining to the character of Jake, I have known Jake for more than 30 years, in both work and social circumstance. We have remained friends through many life changes and circumstance. Jake is a highly intelligent individual with incredibly logical thinking patterns. He also has a highly developed moral sense of right and wrong, and is willing to take a stand on the side of right. His sense of humor is second to none. His determination and dedication are inspiring.” Sande P.
