What Is The Most Important Quality Of A Good Mate?

I recently asked my friends on Twitter the following question;

If you had to name the single most important quality of a good mate, what would it be?

Here are some of the answers I received from my fellow Tweeps;

@GetOutOfDebtGuy Compatible humor/laughter

@sereneworld4us Hm, that would be honesty!

@Bobby61557 Their huge Bank Account Because unfortunately Money plays a huge roll in relationships.

@IveGotUCovered A mate must put God first in his life. To me, I think that's the most important quality. You need to have that for the proper foundation.

@readergirl fidelity - not just fidelity to each other, but to plans, visions, growing in the same direction.

@formatted_dad Someone who listens.

@mattkirschner Good question. Between humor and ability to be laid back, I'd pick the latter.

@andsarah2 Compatible worldview

@ewellburn kindness

I read these replies and then I thought about my own answer. I am very glad that I have a Christian husband. I agree with @IveGotUCovered - "You need to have that for the proper foundation".
