Hi Holly,
I'm ok with 4 and agree mostly with Gismo. I think in a marriage and I think this will come off as paternalistic to you, I do 'expect' a man to be able to provide..Its nice to know someone feels that way about their family (you know wants to provide).
I would say though something my father told me why I got an horribly expensive education.. was that he never wanted me to depend on a man.. He meant you know be trapped in a terrible marriage and not be able to escape because I could not support myself so I think yes Men please provide but if it all goes horribly wrong I can save myself and my family if I need to.
I am quite a creative person and dont mind making money because I like to be able to give away and to the people I love and I would expect the same of a man in my life...
I realise this may offend other groups.. take for example men doing missionary work in poor countries. I wonder though if it is mutually exclusive to have a business brain and a missionary brain. I am willing to hazard a guess that these people in poorer countries could also do with some help on how to provide for themselves. I personally dont think they are mutually exclusive and men can provide and lead in that area in most walks in life not just in marriage.
Just my little opinion though

I'm with you here.. I know character comes first and no amount of chemistry will make up for poor character (learnt that the hard way LOL ) but I hope to get both a lot of chemistry and a lot of character.
Just my thoughts
Take care and God Bless
Love Cath
