Many a times, ladies base their choices on the man’s looks and his material acquisitions. Those are good but the big question is: does the man have the qualities that make a good husband? If the answer is no, then the marriage will not work.

When we think of young men today, we think of metro-sexual and unmanly guys who can't stand the test of time. It seems as though manly men are things of the past and now are officially gone.

Never the less, there are fewer young men who qualify as marriage material today. Decent men still exist. Here are the Best qualities you should look for in the person you want to marry.

God-fearing

A man who is faithful not only to you, but also to God, will make a great husband. A God-fearing man will let God unify and strengthen your relationship, will highly prioritize your marriage, and will make sure morals form the foundation of your family. This type of man will value and uphold the vows he made to you on your wedding day. He will also value your importance in his life as his wife and the mother to his children.

Fidelity

No woman wants to see or even hear from gossip that her man is going out with another woman. As a result, faithfulness is one other best quality a lady desires so much in her future husband. A man who is a husband always remembers his marital vows. He is a man of honour and integrity, a husband a woman can trust, any day, any time.

Teaches you something new

Life with spouse will be pretty boring if you can’t learn from each other. It can be a lesson as small as how to operate the TV set or something more substantial, like how to fix the tap in the kitchen sink. Let’s also not forget there’s an inherent good feeling when you teach someone a new fact or skill.

Knows his purpose in life

A man who knows his purpose in life is a man worth marrying. He will remain confident while pursuing his life's goals and what drives his soul. Because he knows his purpose, he will probably be more career-driven, despite any shortcomings he may face. Since he has this quality, he will continue to be an inspirational force in your life after you two are married.
Strong moral standard

A man who abides by a moral code is definitely a keeper. He is the type of man who knows the difference between right and wrong. He always ground his decisions in life on an understanding of a high moral standard. A man who prides himself in morality and becomes your future husband will definitely install moral values in your children.

Friendly Person

Being friendly disposed always, is one of the best qualities in a woman should look for in her future husband. An understanding, kind and warm man is the kind of husband every woman aspires to marry. He is always positive and friendly, not only to you but also to everyone he comes in contact with. Pride is not in his dictionary.

Makes you better

You want someone who brings out your best in you. A great way to tell if you and your partner should tie the knot is by honestly asking yourself, “Does this person make me better?”

Good relationship with his family

A man who has a close and loving relationship with his family is a man you want to be with. This type of man knows the importance of family and truly cherishes family time. He will most likely place great importance on family after he marries you and begins to raise a family with you. Also, a man who treats his mother with respect will most likely treat you with respect and is obviously worth having as a husband.

Shares the same values

Compatibility is important, because you have to share the same values as your spouse, someone who is materialistic and enjoys splurging on extravagances probably won’t last very long with someone who is down-to-earth and likes to rough it. This is why celebrities marry other celebrities.

Reliability

Are you a reliable man? Are you responsible and supportive? These are those best qualities in a husband that every woman would like to experience. Can your wife count on you in all circumstances? Can you support her in the good and bad times? Can you care for her, no matter what? Can you answer in the affirmative to all these questions? Then that gem in a good husband is in you.

Hard work ethic

A man who has a hard work ethic is marriage material. He will never give up when working towards his ambitions. He will always work hard to provide your future family financial support, no matter what circumstances come his way. He will also install this same value in your future children. A man stricken with a case of the "entitlement mentality" is not a great catch for your future anyways.
