God comes first - John second, if I don't take care of John I can't take care of anyone, then comes YOU!!!! - then the children - family - church - groups - work, life, etc....

I am an honest - open-minded - willing - gentleman. I am conservatively today's standard. I open doors, I treat my lady like a queen! I cook, do laundry, don't like folding it though! I even operate the tractor once in awhile!

I like in a long term relationship to have date night once a week - I think a relationship is like a car, it needs gas, oil, water, and new tires. It requires work and I hope we both work at it!

I really would like to have someone that will permit us to be emotionally, mentally, physically, sexually, financially - safe and healthy. To grow in all areas. To be safe people that love and are loved!

I think I am a great parent, father, partner, friend, lover, soulmate, and many more things all in one package! Speaking of packages - if you have children regardless of age - they and mine are one big package deal - no exceptions!

I like a natural woman - this war paint thing is for the birds! Make up in public is ok but at home behind closed doors??? why???

I hope we can always share together - always open on all things! be true partners! Walk our talk too!

I love romantic dinners - cuddling - intimate times - and in a long term relationship think my lady deserves breakfast in bed once in a while - she is the Queen! She needs to be pampered! among other things we don't mention in profiles!

Humm... I do keep a very busy schedule - what a hectic time - so if you want me to slow down and take time out for you - you better speak up - or I am full speed ahead !!!!! Can you keep up with me? Give it a try!

Understanding - lots of it! and computer skills - go a long way too! I am not perfect by the way - I am just me! take me "as is" - no returns permitted!

Someone else here said it best; I think that a relationship should be a partnership... there are no his nor her jobs... however there is respect and sharing required.- c/n2

If you don't devote enough "US TIME" , then you will start to lack "intimate time". Along with that goes talk time, emotional health, .... you get the picture! There has to be PLENTY of intimate time !!!! That can't be put on the back burner all the time. There may be times, like when the kids are awake, but you should try to find time for that! If you have a good love life. then you will be more able to devote more time and effort to other things!

All things have to be worked on .... It is an on-going everyday work in progress. That's life! It's about family values, commitment, respect, patience, love, honesty, and putting God first! It's a team effort to put everthing together and make it work. There has to be compromises from time to time! Just don't compromise God's time!

......"I'm selfish, impatient, & a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control and at times I'm hard to handle, but if you cant handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marliyn Monroe
