He Must...............

Every year, I have my students read the entry posted yesterday called The Princess Bride And MookDa's List. It will explain what I'm about to type here. On Friday, after talking about the previously mentioned article, everyone in my Gospels' classes listed five absolutes about the person they will marry in both the positives (He Must/She Must) and the negative (He Must Not/She Must Not). Here is the first installment, used by permission, from my young ladies. They are high schoolers and all are used by permission:

He must be a man who makes me feel enchanted. Alexandria
He must have an individual income and can't ask his parents for money. Rita
He must be serious about marriage. Han
He must be respectful to everyone. Tiata
He must know how to control his temper. Giovanna
He must like country music. Dessiah
He must be able to hold a conversation. Sarah
He must love my mom. Madison
He must accept my culture. Lyanne
He must follow his dreams and support my aspirations. Julia
He must want to have kids so we can watch them grow up together. Caitlyn
He must be educated. Nelsha
