Boaz v. Bozo

I mentioned back in December that I was getting a new book- called A Man Worth Waiting For! It finally came this past week and I have started reading it. It talks a lot about Boaz ( the ideal man -in the book of Ruth) and compares his qualities to a "Bozo"...
[thought I would keep a list here and update it as I continue reading]

is your man a BOAZ or a BOZO? (or men, which are you?)

Boaz:

-loves you in a way that shows his feelings
-is a prepared partner
-faces his troubles with God's help to overcome them.
