[quote=Anonymous]Mental flexibility and emotional stability is key. The constant in life is that people change. Everything people are listing can change -- can you both deal with that change?

All of the body-related list of wants can change due to injury or disease of even lifestyle changes.

Life goals can change (I'll never stay at home becomes I can't trust anyone else to be primary for my special needs child), jobs, finances, religions can change, intelligence and drive can change due to mental illness or dementia, people who are socially awkward can become more social and social butterflies can become private and reclusive, what you thought you wanted or would do in a given situation changes when you are actually in it and have life experience (particularly applies to parenthood and jobs and crisis an unexpected life changing situations), and so on.

The people to avoid are the posters with the inflexible "must have" lists. They will not allow you to grow and change and will not be there for you when inevitably you both do grow and change. They are not looking for a person, but a idea.[/quote]
