Best Quality in a Spouse...

Dear whoever is reading this,
The most important quality that I look for in a spouse, besides being a Christian (I am taking that as a given), is probably the man's ability to love <3.  A person's ability to love  is almost (not quite) as important as being a Christian.  You can believe in Jesus Christ (see John 3:16) but not be able to love very well. 
"Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love." - Aristotle
Love is the forgiveness that God gave us so we can live in heaven.  Love is showing godliness and humbleness and an upper hand in the fight against sinful nature.  If you cannot love love, then does that mean you love hate?  God shows us love everyday, so why can't we love each other as much as possible?  To end my short little speech, I have some of my beloved William Shakespeare.
 "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; 
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste; 
Wings and no eyes, figure unheedy haste; 
And therefore is Love said to be a child, 
Because in choice he is oft beguiled."
- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
