Is he the One?

I have crushes since then. My first crush was named Jan. He was a classmate of mine in Kinder 2. I always have crushes since then. haha! Well, a crush is a temporary attraction to someone of the opposite sex. We can have bunches of them in our teenage years.

The question that pops when you reach 20′s is “How will I know if HE is the one?" I am a Latter-Day Saint and we have been counseled about this matter. But despite the counsels it’s still challenging at times. It could be that you like this person but there’s something inside that tells you, “Oh he’s not the one”. Sometimes there will be battle of mind over emotions. One lesson I learned, is to see if that someone has the potential to be with you no matter what it takes for eternity.

There’s no such thing as a perfect person. Only Jesus is perfect and he's not on the running.  But you can choose someone who is striving to be like Him. You will end up being single for the rest of your life if you are so particular with this and that. We ourselves are not perfect anyway.

Elder Richard G. Scott made a great counsel “There is more to a foundation of eternal marriage than a pretty face or an attractive figure. There is more to consider than popularity or charisma. As you seek an eternal companion, look for someone who is developing the essential attributes that bring happiness: a deep love of the Lord and of His commandments, a determination to live them, one that is kindly understanding, forgiving of others, and willing to give of self, with the desire to have a family crowned with beautiful children and a commitment to teach them the principles of truth in the home. An essential priority of a prospective wife is the desire to be a wife and mother. She should be developing the sacred qualities that God has given His daughters to excel as a wife and mother: patience, kindliness, a love of children, and a desire to care for them rather than seeking professional pursuits. She should be acquiring a good education to prepare for the demands of motherhood. A prospective husband should also honor his priesthood and use it in service to others. Seek a man who accepts his role as provider of the necessities of life, has the capacity to do it, and is making concerted efforts to prepare himself to fulfill those responsibilities.”

From my own point of view here are the things that I consider for an eternal companion.

1. His love for the Lord. 
2. His attitude towards money.
3. His fondness of children. 
4. His love for his mother.
