The Dateable Standards

My girls were trying on my wedding ring tonight and speculation about their own future engagement rings and requirements of future spouses. They both know our little rule of five when it comes to evaluating whether or not the male species is worthwhile or not. It helps give a minimum standard and scale to rank all the boys they know. Now these are our own personal rule of thumb.....so take it in stride and make any adjustments to suit your own needs.

1. Must love God and have faith.
2. Must be smart
3. Must be kind
4. Must be funny
5. Must come from a loving environment.

The girls are always evaluating pretty much every boy they meet (the curse of having boy-crazy girls). Rebecca will say well he meets three out of five requirements....I guess he just doesn't cut it....or he meets all the requirements plus bonus points for being really cute! You know all I can really ask for my girls is to have a wonderful future, but it is nice that they already come with a set of standards in place....let's hope they hold up through the teen years.
