The mother/father of my children

Having a family is important to me, so my future wife would likewise want to have children and raise a family.

I’d like someone lighthearted, who is curious about life and who enjoys learning. As long as we’re on the same page value-wise, most everything else is negotiable. A pleasant smile and a calm demeanour go a long way to a happy home.

I am leaning towards homeschooling any future children. Over the past few years I’ve curated a library of books on a variety of topics, including geography, geology, biology, history, ecology, politics, mythology, literature (classics, Shakespeare, etc), technology, chemistry, genetics and more, especially as it relates to Newfoundland, Canada, Britain and the United States, so that my future children can get a good education while learning to understand and appreciate their ancestral home and people. Any books a significant other could add would always be appreciated.

I consider myself a moderately religious Christian. Though I was raised Catholic, I spent a lot of time in different phases of faith and faithlessness, seeking to understand the different lessons hidden within the Bible. I am now non-denominational and currently do not attend a church, but I read the Bible semi-regularly. It is not mandatory, but I would like my potential S.O. to also be a Christian. I understand people have different experiences with religion so I understand if we’re not in the same place in faith.

Please no recreational drugs or smoking. I find it difficult to be around people who smell of smoke.

If you can cook or are open to learning, that’s a big plus.

It’s hard to say what I’m most passionate about as I have many interests, but perhaps I will say film.

Since I first saw Jurassic Park in cinemas, I’ve been fascinated with cinematography and story-telling through film. Sadly film isn’t quite what it used to be, but there are gems in every generation. I love watching movies of all types and thinking about them from a cinematographic standpoint, but sometimes it’s also nice to just turn the brain off and enjoy a good film for what it is.

I’m also very passionate about my own family history and the history of the British Empire. I’m an avowed Anglophile. I intend to travel to the UK one day to trace my English roots as best I can.

2024 Update:

I have started the new year with a resolution to improve myself in every dimension so that I can be the best husband and ultimately father I can be. So, right now I am most passionate about setting and achieving a few new goals for myself.
