Three most important qualities in my future husband and one which I consider not important (ex.3)

As the most important qualities I chose sense of humour, intellect and empathy. For me it's essential for my future husband to be able to make me laugh, cheer me up and make me smile, especially when I'm sad. In a everyday life we don't often have opportunities to laugh. My future husband should be this special person who can introduce happiness to my life. Moreover, I like to spend time with people who can be funny. I personally like telling jokes, having fun, meeting people and I would also like my husband to be outgoing and sociable.
My future partner should be intelligent. He doesn't have to be well educated because these are two totally different things. Educated people aren't necessarily intelligent. I don't think I would stand somebody who is stupid and with whom I can't have a decent conversation. I would be bored with a person who is too narrow-minded. My husband should have something to say. Moreover, somebody intelligent is more likely to get a good job and understand what a wonderful wife he has :)
In my opinion, empathy is a very significant quality. My husband should understand me and my problems, this way he will be able to help me. He should listen to me because it's this very person who I trust and he should support me every time I need it. He can't be indifferent, I must know that I can count on him. If he is empathetic he is probably also sensitive and protective. A woman, comparing to a man, is rather vulnerable and weak and a husband should take care of her somehow. I would like to have a possibility to turn to my husband in every difficult situation. He should always be by my side when I need him.
From the qualities in ex. 3 I chose "taste in books/ films etc" as least important. Actually, I think it's not important at all. When you get married you must be aware of the fact that you will be forced to make a compromise. Sometimes you will have to resign from watching your favorite movie because your partner wants to watch a football game on tv. However, I think that it's not a big tragedy and spouses can have different tastes and different hobbies. Essential is that they love each other's company. It would also be boring if a husband and a wife would always like the same things. People are not the same and it' perfectly normal.At times one can show the other something new and interesting for this person, they can learn something from each other.It makes life simply more interesting, it's easier for them to surprise one another.

"A brother is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost." Marion C. Garetty

I have two younger brothers: Piotrek (13) and Tomek (9). I totally agree with a statement that "A brother is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.". My siblings often remind me of my own childhood and the years when I was a careless kid. It's especially the older brother who is a "little bit of childhood" for me. We get along very well, talk a lot and like to spend time together.I am aware that for many teenagers that would sound strange and inconceivable but sometimes I take him when I meet with friends,for instance when we go to play volleyball or to the cinema. He is a good athlete and like me likes sport so we have a lot of things to do together.  He talks about events that go on in his school and this way I recall myself these times, my primary school adventures. Although it's impossible I sometimes wish he always stayed a kid. It's easy to talk to him and we have a lot of laugh together. Sometimes I catch myself that I prefer spending time with him than with my peers. It seems really relaxing. Moreover, he perceives me as an authority. He is five years younger than me: on one hand it's a lot but on the other we get on very well. He lives through all the events that I already have. I really like him and sometimes I do quite childish things with him, that I wouldn't do with people in my age. We have crazy and stupid ideas and I don't wonder whether it's tactful to act like this.
