4. Hardworking (either employed or at home)
5. Loving and kind

I used to think it was kindness or humor or self awareness but after 20 years I think it’s just that you just have to give a f*** about your spouse consistently. It’s harder than it seems.

I’m curious to know what everyone thinks the most important traits when picking a spouse are. You can’t predict everything in life, but what kinds of things signal that someone will be a good partner?
