I'm very affectionate, play-full, patient, nurturing, can be serious, open, .... a great listener: very attentive. I try to use nonviolent communication ["I messages"] and am not afraid of feelings or opinions :). I want to work through things. Gentleness and calmness are important...particularly if there is a conflict. Stating needs and being flexible to reach out to the other are vital. As Christians we are commanded to serve and love the other above our-selves. This requires maturity and self-control. I am faithful. I am all-ways there for others. I am reliable and very stable. Unlike many women, I love commitment. It is vital for intimacy. I do not fear but desire closeness.

As for relationship wise. I'm looking for a man who I can call my own, a man I can trust and share my life with hopefully the rest of my life. In terms of character, who can reflect on his words/lack of work/action/non-action. Being able to sincerely apologize and show gratitude is essential. Non-retaliation is demanded by the gospel of love. I strongly try to work together and expect that. Negotiation and compromise are vital. Commitment to the betterment of the other and to the relationship deepens the relp. Trust is a very important thing to me so the man I am with needs to be 100 percent honest with me. I value family a lot so I would love someone who values family just as much as me and someone who is willing to be with me through thick and thin. I never want to get divorced in my life. In other words am looking for a ''life partner'' not a ''now partner''.. `
