Choose a man you RESPECT and show him that respect. Men will return it to a woman with love.
To find common interests and to not make your lives just about your children because one day they will be gone and you will only have each other.
This is a tough one, because I've learned a lot lately. But something that has really stuck with me over the years is this: don't bad mouth your partner to other people. Occasional venting is one thing, but don't make it a habit to only complain. Remember to praise. I believe this becomes especially true when you have children.
Unless they are the reason you "fell" at work and broke your elbow

You should be happy every day not every minute of every day but every day
You have to be friends first and grow into a relationship. Being in a relationship is one where you have to be best friends. Intimacy can't be used to replace trust, personal details or anything. That, and don't care what anyone else thinks about your relationship. It's YOUR relationship. Case and point, I don't give a damn about what people will think about us. I want to be with you and will pay no mind to the opinions of others.
Best advice I ever got was "once you lost trust in your partner you've lost the relationship." Any relationship without trust is not going to work. Also, someone once told me "be two individuals doing life together; don't lose who you are and don't let your partner lose who they are."

Trust is HUGE to me. Especially with us being so far away from each other. I'd never do anything that could ever hurt you, Cristina. I want you to know that.

Communication, mutual respect, and common interests are three of the most important. Finding that one who's strong where you're weak & can bolster you through any storm....that's special. An rare. Also, never underestimate the power of touch. Or of loyalty and dependability. Give me a man who always has my back, respects our differences as much as our commonality, and finds as much comfort as I do in the quick, passing touches (AND the longer ones) and I'm his forever.
Don't marry potential.
Don't be an idiot
Don't fight in front of company and never talk about your problems to friends. There two cent isn't enough change. Lol what goes on in your house stays in your house.
