My Hero

What is he like, that wonderful guy you envision as your till-death-do-us-part hero? I enjoy looking at handsome men--don't we all? But the fellow I could be on a desert island with for years has to be more than a pretty face. Humor, kindness, and intelligence definitely earn big points. I want a man of substance, whose character is never defined by vanity or a quest to be popular. A man of faith, who isn't embarrassed to admit God is bigger and better than himself. He may not know how to build a house, but he is capable of using a vacuum cleaner to clean one. Clean-cut looks and sculped abs are worth a few bonus points, provided they don't result in a puffed-up ego. Oh, yes, one more essential requirement: a gentleman who never says yes to the question "does this dress make me look fat?" And means it when he answers, "Of course not. You are always beautiful in my eyes."
