Choosing a Partner I have been working on a crime novel that has morphed into a romance novel. It is about a couple falling in love and looking for a long-term relationship. They are looking for qualities that make for a good partner. I believe there are some qualities that at least one partner must possess for a happy relationship. One of the partners in a couple must:
1. Be a good cook. Many things like beauty and sex are short term, but a couple must eat for a lifetime. Going out to eat can be expensive. In a happy marriage, one partner must be a good cook.
2. Not be afraid of spiders. Can you imagine a relationship where both people are afraid of spiders? Whom would they call?
3. Have a good sense of direction. They will save countless hours from being lost and driving in circles. It will also cut down on the number of arguments.
4. Have sharp senses. One partner must be able to smell, taste, hear, and see very well. One partner does not need all of these senses, but between two people all senses need to be included. It helps to be able to answer questions like, "does this taste funny?" or "Did you hear that?" or "do you smell something burning?' or "Can you read the fine print?"
5. Be a good speller. One person in the relation must have good spelling and grammar. It will save them from many embarrassing mistakes and help to do the kids' homework.
6. Be good with numbers and math. That partner will handle the checkbook, taxes and budget.
7. Have a good memory for names of relatives, important dates and where you parked the car. That partner will keep track of all the birthdays and anniversaries as well as who is married to whom.
8. Be handy around the house, a DIY type of person. Two helpless people will be at the mercy of contractors and repairpersons. That partner will also open jars.
9. Have patience. Two impatient people will drive each other nuts.
10. Have a good sense of color coordination. They will also prevent embarrassing situations in fashion and decorating. That way they can avoid the question, "Are you wearing that?"
