Ladies, do not say ‘I do’ until he has proven that he is ready. Marriage is a commitment, and it needs a lot of work. Marrying someone who is not husband material will only make your marriage a nightmare. Each individual has different tastes, preferences and priorities but there are certain qualities that make a man a husband material. The following are ways you can tell if he is going to be the husband that you want.
God fearing
A God fearing man is one of the most important qualities in a husband. A God fearing man has a vision and a man without a vision is dangerous. Having a God fearing man will help you grow spiritually and also help out in solving the challenges that may come in a marriage.
A man who will put your needs first
A man who is able to sacrifice his time to be with you when you need him the most shows that he is a caring man. Being there for you doesn't mean that he has nothing to do, it only shows that he values your needs and you always come first.
Views your relationship as a priority
There are men who will never see your relationship as a priority. When you have an argument, he’d rather sort out other things first instead of solving whatever issues that you have. A man who values your relationship will always see your marriage as a priority and he will do anything to make sure that the marriage will not fall apart.
He appreciates you and accepts your weaknesses
You will never be perfect. No one is. There are things that will piss him off now and then but he will not give up on you but instead, he will appreciate the person that you are and even try to make you better. A husband material should not make you feel guilty every time you make a mistake; he will accept your shortcomings because he loves you for who you are.
He knows how to manage his finances
Research shows that most couples fight over money. A man who knows how to manage his finances will know when to spend and when not to spend. You don’t want a man who will take you out for expensive dinners and start borrowing money from his friends thereafter. If he can’t manage his own money, how can he take care of a family?
He considers you while making decisions
If he is going to marry you, he needs to factor you in some of the most important decisions. Your relationship is a partnership, not a dictatorship. A man who considers your opinions shows that he loves you and he wants to create a life with you.
He is trustworthy
You do not want to check his every move and scroll over his phone because you doubt him. If he is going to be your husband, you need to trust him. Trust and honesty is fundamental for any relationship. Trusting each other will make everything else in your relationship come naturally.
