What is Husband/Wife Material Checklist Audit?

Instead of listing what you want in a partner, list what a great partner would want in YOU — then work on becoming that person. The fastest way to attract great relationships is to become someone a great person would want to be with.

How do you do Husband/Wife Material Checklist Audit?

  1. 1.Write a list: 'What qualities would my ideal partner want in ME?' (reliable, fit, emotionally intelligent, financially stable, good communicator, interesting, kind)
  2. 2.Rate yourself honestly 1-10 on each quality. No ego protection — this is a private audit
  3. 3.Pick the 2-3 lowest-scoring qualities and make them your 6-month focus. If 'financially stable' is a 4, build your financial health. If 'emotionally intelligent' is a 5, do the inner work
  4. 4.Apply this to friendships too: would the type of friend you want, want YOU as a friend? If you want reliable friends, ARE you reliable?
  5. 5.The principle: you don't attract what you want, you attract what you ARE. Become the partner/friend you wish you had, and the right people appear

How long does it take?

30 minutes for the audit, ongoing self-development.

Is it hard to start?

hard.
