Expectations Too High?

A recent conversation I had with a friend prompted me to ask myself whether my expectations for the woman I am to marry are too high. Early in our conversation, my friend stated that she felt as though she was tainted because her life experiences have pushed her to raise her expectations for the guy she plans to marry. She was wondering whether these heightened expectations were reasonable and I assured her they were.

Upon further self-examination, I began to wonder whether or not my expectations are reasonable. Now, I know a completely different friend has only placed one requirement for those she dates—they have to be from a country other than the United States. To me, that seems unreasonable even though it is only one requirement. I have many more requirements, but they seem so prohibitive. My question remains: Am I looking for a woman who does not exist?

I need some feedback friends. Let me know if these requirements are too restrictive: Active Christian, Smart, A Sense of Humor, Loving of People and Children, Morally Pure, and Beautiful. Please give me feedback, but not anonymously—I want to know who you are!

Are your expectations too high? Nope. God works in His own time, not yours. It's not easy living on God's time sometimes, but He knows best.

I hope this helps.
