People who teach for a living might want to think about adding their job description to their dating profile.
Educational publisher Pearson surveyed students asking them what qualities they look for in a good teacher.
And the results were very similar to the kind of traits that people look for in their other half.
They included being patient, caring, supportive and kind.
Southern Living took the survey one step further, and compiled a list of reasons why people who marry teachers end up in the happiest marriages.
Good listeners
Teachers take the time to develop relationships with their students, which involves listening to them and encouraging them to speak up when they don't understand the work.
They're responsible
Teachers are responsible in so many ways. They have to be extremely organised - planning lessons and marking work. The job also requires the trust of parents - especially when it comes to younger children.
A big part of their job is being responsible for educating the next generation.
Teachers are patient, caring, supportive and kind
Know how to communicate
Engaging and motivated
Dedicated and passionate
