shortcuts

I find myself walking between two places quite often. On the way there, I take one route; on the way back I take another. Each time, I think I'm taking the shorter route.

I think that's indicative of a certain tendency I have to forgo later shortcuts for the ones immediately in front of me.

traits

How do you reconcile the thought "I want my future spouse to have these traits" with the thought "I will love him/her unconditionally" (i.e. regardless of the future presence of those traits).

Maybe:
1) Looking for a significant other with certain traits is simply a way to make your job of loving him/her easier.
2) The only traits that might be considered an exception are those that "help" you (in your walk with Christ, etc).
