A spouse checklist

Yesterday before sleeping, I actually wrote a list of my expectations for my future spouse. There's a total of 20 - 10 mandatory, 10 optional. Here goes:

Mandatory
1. Must be godly (from bible.org)
2. Spiritual knowledge must be above mine
3. Must be able to work hand-in-hand in reaching out with my family (just giving resources is not enough)
4. Family values, courtship rules and spiritual values must be biblical and similar (if bible did not state)
5. Must be financial stable
6. Must be able to communicate with my family
7. Must be firm and able to lead and able to listen if wrong
8. Able to protect, comfort and be patient with me
9. Must be able to accept my past
10. Helps and sustain me to be a godly woman

Optional
1. At least 1.7m tall
2. Not afraid of cold - loves to embrace cold weather like me! :)
3. Likes musical, music performances and movies (especially 3D)
4. Know how to fix stuff
5. Spontaneous
6. Agrees to not kiss or have much physical contact (like hugs, head on lap, playing with hair, hand on back, etc)
7. Able to do bible study or devotional together
8. Loves children
9. Willing to take my brother in (after marriage) if both my parents are unable to take care of him
10. Be really forgiving to my family

I know, I know. Some are just lame. Most are just considerations I've encountered with "him". There could be more. I pray that I'll have a good husband for myself. :)
