Raise your hand, if, like me, you think found your partner entirely based on personality, not looks.
I was all about the personality. As a person who thought of herself as so average as to be edging toward homely, I was focused on developing my personality. Reading a lot. Being a maker. Gardening. Going out. If my bloom wouldn’t catch me a man, my sparkling personality had to do the trick. And what does a girl with said sparkling personality need for a successful partnership? A partner who sparkles right back.
And holy moly, did Bradley sparkle when I first met him: he walked into my apartment with that gorgeous smile and mopful of blonde hair, exuding ‘sparkling personality’ from the tips of his polished leather shoes, past the denim jeans-who’s-stitching-perfectly-matched-his-shirt, all the way up to his stunning, kind, bright-blue eyes. Look at all that personality. I was entranced. We immediately launched into a heady conversation about the greater implications of Noah’s covenant with God, the rainbow and circumcision, but I can’t honestly say it was all personality that caught me. My husband is a babe. Flat out, hands-down, he was then and continues to bemy hunka-hunka burnin’ love.
Not to say my husband’s personality is bland by any means, but I’m just going to sit back for a moment and DAY-UM! Appreciate that fine man I married. Happy 19th anniversary to my beautiful husband, outside and in. 😘
