survey sez! The Question: What is the one superficial thing you would change about your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife? Explain.
The Answer: “Boyfriend...husband? What is that?” The Answer: “Oh, now we have people looking for faults in the one that we are under a scriptural mandate to love. How about a question that asks what is that one quality that you love the most? But no, we are looking for faults, how classy.” The Answer: “What an awful thing to ask. Why not just say, ‘If you could have any sin not be a sin, what would it be?” The Answer: “The one superficial thing I would change would be his height (5'4") and weight (not going there), not because I am dissatisfied with them, but because I believe that those changes would give him more confidence in himself.” The Answer: “The way he chews his food and makes little smacking noises when he eats.” The Answer: “I wish he was more romantic and more considerate of my feelings. I wish he would express how he feels to me!” The Answer: “I would make him more confident. I wish he'd be comfortable showing others what he shares with me.” The Answer: “I would beef him up a little. This is superficial because it would make me more secure in my size!” The Answer: “What boyfriend? Would everyone please quit reminding me that I'm all alone? The only superficial thing I would change is the fact that he doesn't even exist!” The Answer: “Her weight. She used to be really little and cute (and slightly anorexic), and I hated it because she was unhealthy. Now she lets stress get to her and over the past year she's just let herself go... and it's not pretty.” The Answer: “Actually, nothing comes to mind. Really. Now to cash in on that—her name is Karen. I Heart U! I do believe that was my first personal ad, and it was for my wife of 16 years.” The Answer: “I would change his apparent lack of care for himself. Heart disease runs in his family, but he doesn't seem to care. He doesn't exercise; he doesn't eat right. I can't imagine what life will be like in 20 years taking care of him. What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost? We need to take care of our temples. That is superficial—it's all on the outside. On the inside, he's really a pretty good guy.” The Answer: “I would cast out the evil blubber that deceptively lurks beneath my wife's clothes.” The Answer: “What superficial thing would I change about my husband? Well, if he had anything superficial, I might try to change it if I had the power, but I have to admit that my husband is one of the most un-superficial, down-to-earth, friendliest, most sincere and God-loving humans I know...he's a sweetie and I thank Jesus that I have him for a husband. 22 years married and still crazy in love with each other is not too shabby!” The Answer: “One thing I'd like to change about my boyfriend, that is totally superficial...um…his height? No, it doesn't bother me that much. Well, his weight, if he could put on just a little bit more weight.” The Answer: “Naturally there are superficial things in all of us that could use changing, but it seems superficial to even name them concerning our significant other. Especially in light of the fact there are many people who would love to have a spouse as great as mine, superficial imperfections and all!” The Answer: “My wife has always had very fine, straight hair. It hasn't grown in the four years since she quit trimming it, and it pains her to see the other ladies with thick, long hair and hers isn't even as long as it was before. Even our daughters have thick hair to their waists. I pray that Jesus will grant her the hair glory she dreams of. He has given her many powerful spiritual gifts; she is humble and loving. Just a little more hair, please.” The Answer: “I would change how private he is about everything! Like he doesn't express feelings.” The Answer: “I would love to abruptly change the fact that I don’t have a boyfriend.” The Answer: “Honestly? Absolutely nothing. I know that he's a little self-conscious about his height (I'm 5'5", he's 5'6"), but I wouldn't change that for anything. I tell him that he's my-size!” The Answer: “I love my husband dearly, but I would love him even more if he had lots of hair on his head.” The Answer: “Well, right now I don’t have one, but the one thing that I have noticed in the past is that I tend to draw closer to them, but not necessarily God. It’s not sin, but it’s not drawing me closer either.”
