Jaywar View Profile History	What a guy wants/expects out of a relationship? Posted : 7 Oct, 2010 09:23 PM Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but here's what I want out of a relationship... 1. A relationship between a girlfriend and a boyfriend Honestly, at this stage in the game, I want to learn. I love being able to come into someone's world (and invite them into mine, obviously), and learn everything I can about them while we enjoy ourselves along the way. 2. A relationship between a wife and a husband I have never been married, so I have no firsthand knowledge. I also have no preconceptions. I believe it's different for everybody, and you have to find what works between you and the one God has picked out for you. I'm not saying by any means to do this outside of Christ's teaching, simply saying that inside the guidelines you both agree to follow (which would have been found during step 1...) finding a system for the two of you that pleases God and brings glory to Him.

View Profile History	What a guy wants/expects out of a relationship? Posted : 8 Oct, 2010 01:00 AM One thing I've observed is that a good percentage of guys emphasize the desire to have someone with common interests who they can spend time with, whereas a lot of the women's profiles I've looked at seem to lean more toward seeking someone with certain character qualities. So, I would venture to say that one expectation that a guy has is for his girlfriend/wife to enter into his world and take part in life with him, rather than just doing her own *girly* stuff and expecting him to tag along.

Posted : 8 Oct, 2010 05:33 AM @Jaywar, you answered this question perfectly, I feel the exact same way - since I havent been married I have no preconceived notions towards marriage. Although my parents have been married for over 40 years, people were different then. I think now I'm more accepting of others and more understanding of their ways. Post Reply

Posted : 8 Oct, 2010 05:41 AM I also think that as a man matures (not always in age, but in perception of life) his wants and expectations of a relationship changes. I think most men want a buddy, friend, and lover wrapped all into one woman, who can also be a wife and mother. But he has to understand that things can change a woman and a man and both parties have to be willing to accept one another at different stages in their life. Post Reply

Posted : 8 Oct, 2010 02:48 PM I've always wanted a woman who understood me and could create with me because we were cut from the same cloth. Don't the two become one? What kind of oneness is that if you're so very different that you really don't have much in common? When two people share much, they are like rowers in a small boat and the boat goes places. If they don't share much in common, the boat turns in circles because their paddling works against each other. I want a wife, a lover, a friend, a fellow artist, a spiritual traveller, and a kindred spirit. I'm not really cut out to be anything but the same. Post Reply
