I appreciate a rich vocabulary, someone who can debate BOTH sides intelligently, snuggling by the fire, not worrying about your hair when rain/snow sprinkles your face, and spontaneity to breakup an otherwise time-efficient routine (having both - TIME AND MONEY is possible 1) be productive 2) don't be greedy 3) smell the roses at every opportunity). Integrity, a sense of humor, a sense of time, a sense of honor, and sensing when to let me win will get us through the day (humor), but 'virtue' can make it endure. Virtue is not fashionable these days ... replaced instead with "self-centeredness" "callousness" and "lack of remorse or empathy"; characteristics incorrectly associated with "individuality & independence". Virtue is a 7th sense, like feeling pain or smelling a flower. The dictionary describes virtue as "moral excellence or righteousness; goodness". It is invisibly applied to everyday life, every decision made, every person with whom you speak, and every task you take. Either you have it or you don't. It is very necessary in everyday life, and for a relationship to last and grow stronger, it makes a difference... a big difference.
