Not someone who thinks they may be emotionally, physically, financially, or verbally abusive
Breadwinner
Some considerations:
Parents require a resident/doctor, a more senior engineer, or a more senior position in the corporate/business area. Generally more higher paying positions. This is simply necessary for acceptance by my wali. Money is not that important to me, besides allowing me to not have to work, and similarly future daughters. I also understand that some of these positions may come with mixing, which I do not condone or desire. This is simply criteria I must meet.
Additionally, the brother must be in the west-central Florida or nearby region in order to be married. Again, simply criteria I must meet.

I intend to continue my education after marriage and plan to work for the time being, so I hope to find a spouse who supports these goals and appreciates my ambitions and capabilities. I value mutual consultation and making decisions together in a way that is pleasing to Allah.

Expectations for potential spouse:
Sound aqeedah, prays all 5 prayers and takes religion seriously (doesn’t have to be talib al ilm but regularly attends halaqahs to benefit)
