What is it that you look for in a relationship partner? What are the must haves? Do you have them now?

My husband, is my best friend, in a relationship, you first have to be friends, then you will know if the attraction is there, never anyone thats controlling, or a minipulator. do you both like the same activities, traveling, etc. always by all means, check out the family, if the romance gets serious!!! you can always move away. My son married a woman from a criminal past (not her her family) and now her dads in jail, and they are getting a divorce, because my son refuses to let her dad in their home (he stole money tools etc) so you always need to know what your dealing with. the person should be respectful to his mom and dad and siblings, and love animals and respect them in the same manner. and just be a nice person, not every one can find the perfect family to marry into but like I said its getting to know one another first.......................
