I Do

There will come a point in every person's life when thoughts of settling down and starting a family run through one's mind. It's somewhat of an uncertainty for both men and women if one will truly find that one person to spend his or her life with. A person can somewhat feel like they are on a game show trying to figure out who will be that one person standing behind the curtain without really seeing his or her face. Each of us will eventually find out who is behind the curtain and hopefully disappointing music won't be played.

Working with mostly women has given me somewhat of an insight of what a woman wants in a guy. For there is an endless list of qualities that women look for in a guy that she hopes meets those specific requirements. The number one quality on top of every women's list is honesty. Women want a guy that is able to tell the truth when she asks for it. Yet, it can be a double edged sword when the questions being asked can totally confuse any guy. In a way, it feels like taking a test and the possibility of passing it is an unknown.

For guys, it's just a matter of finding that one person who is willing to tolerate our annoying habits and the stupid things we will do. I can honestly say, as a guy, I know less about women since the day I first started to get interested in them 15 years ago. As it has been said, if one thinks he has all the answers, more questions will pop up. Women are absolutely an enigma, for they are truly the most mysterious and beautiful creatures on the face of the earth that we may never figure out and you know what, I'm ok with that.

In any case, a person can oftentimes feel that being single is the way to go. But on occasion, one will always have that urge to fill a void that is missing in his or her life. A life up to a particular point has been filled with work, family, and friends. If you think about it, nobody wants to be alone, for each of us wants to find true happiness. Some have already found it, many are still looking for it, and others have given up the search for it so to speak. One will find that one person to fill the void, it's just a matter of time.

Several months ago, someone asked me if I had the potential of being a father and my answer, I believe I do. Now, I ask myself this question, do I have the potential of being a suitable husband for any woman one day and my answer is that I have absolutely no idea. Men and women will have doubts and fears when it's their time to walk down the aisle. Fears and doubts will subside as both bride and groom lock eyes. In the end, it's their defining moments as two separate lives form into one as these two words are said...I DO.
