There I was, blogging this morning over coffee, and came across a blog where a woman was married to her soul mate, the love of her life.

OK… so the divorced, slightly jaded, moderately cynical woman is thinking “Is there a such a thing as the ‘perfect man’? Is the phrase ‘perfect man’ THE classic oxymoron, right up there with ‘military intelligence’ and ‘government efficiency’?” For the last few hours, I’ve been asking myself what would it take? What sort of man could make me actually consider remarrying?

Here goes.

In a heartbeat, I would marry again, if the right man presented himself. I liked being married (see Mr X). I enjoyed having someone to share things with; the good and the bad. At this point in my life I am more discerning because I know myself better. I will keep this list open as I think more about it, but for now to marry again I would need a man who is:

1. Intelligent -not necessarily someone with 5 or 6 post-graduate degrees, but well read and well spoken.
2. Extroverted - at least to some measurable degree. I enjoy conversation and gatherings.
3. Funny - a sense of humor, able to laugh at yourself and sometimes, your circumstances.
4. Family-oriented - my family is where my heart is.
5. Content with a simple life - home, family, friends, food, sitting in front of a cozy fire sipping wine.
6. Appreciative of some of the finer things - music, wine, books, perhaps some travel
7. Wine lover - see #s 5 & 6
8. Neat - I don’t do well in a cluttered environment.
9. An animal lover - I will always have pets.
10. Affectionate - I love a touch, a look, a hug.
11. Gainfully Employed - lol, almost forgot that one.
12. Thoughtful - brings flowers for no reason, makes me soup when I’m sick.
13. Sentimental - remembers birthdays, first dates, etc.
14. Kind - to young, old and everything in between
15. Mechanically Inclined and Generally handy around the house - have you had to pay for a service call of any kind lately?
16. A Boston Sports Fan - my family would have a difficult time accepting a NY Yankee fan - it would not be pretty
17. Spontaneous - I’m not sure I need this, but since I’ve never had this, I’d like to take it out for a spin
