A man who loves his mother

A man who has a sense of humor

 

[sweet_silvia88]

I'm not married yet but I will give base on my situation!

A man that Is God fearing and really seek God for himself and his family

A man that loves his wife unconditionally as Christ loves us

A man that is hard working and is ready to help his wife whenever she needs him. No matter what!

A man that has a spiritual bond with his wife that makes their marriage stronger than just a regular relationship. A bond placed in their hearts by God..

A man that shows his feelings and never stop showing how much blessed he is to have his wife..

A man that sees beyond beauty.. See the real God given woman that was made just for him

.... That's based on personal observation..

And man who doesn't want to break God's heart.

 

[Divine.]

Someone who can be a leader and follow God's direction as well. If I'm going to be submitting to my husband, I need to be confident in his leadership. I also need to be sure that every decision he makes is through God.

A good husband
1. A more mature christian than me.
2. He must be an actual christian, as in not sexually active, reads his bible daily, with evident fruit of the spirit.
3. Must love me in the same manner as Christ loves the church.
4. Must have a relationship with God, an active prayer life and must crucify his flesh, ideally he should fast.
5. Someone who has reverence for God, who is grateful for His mercy but fully aware of the ferociousness of His wrath and thus his behaviour springs from this knowledge.
6. He must earn more than me.
7. A good communicator, confident and affectionate.

Beautiful List of Godly qualities in a Husband...

May I add this to your quality Number 6 from personal experience and from the experience of others?

Note: The use of 'You' is in a general sense, not you personally...

To number 6, may I add that he generously shares 'ALL' that he has with you... Generously. That he sees your desires and does not limit his 'giving' to just your basic needs... (house mortgage, utilities, food, medical, etc.).

And in all of your husband's riches that you are still able to have 'Your OWN'.

You don't ever want to lose your 'independence' or self-sustainment.

In sharing this, I'm not speaking doubt regarding a husband who will love you with his all. And I'm not speaking doubt regarding his care for you. It's just that 'we' as women still need to have our 'own'.

Hubby can spoil you 'rotten', giving you more than you ever wanted in this life and Marriage, but as I've learned in this life and as many other Christian women who have 'wealthy' husbands,

"God Bless the Child Whose' Got Her OWN"

Mama may have, Papa may have, 'Hubby may have'....




Nevertheless...

So do you!

Listen: It's not a 'back-up plan B' issue; nor is it playing games.

It simply makes a man work harder to do more for you when he senses your 'independence'. He doesn't want to lose you and he'll try harder to keep you, knowing that you are able to still 'hold your own'.

Scripture:

I am coming quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one takes your crown.

Revelation 3:11

Shimmie I'm back!! Just wanted to say Amen

 

[delitefulmane]

***Im not married, but I've seen these characteristics in my dad and the men (grandpa,uncles, godfather, etc.) in my life.*****

Someone who is SELFLESS.
Someone who is a gentle giant.
Someone who is a savvy businessman.
Someone who is a provider, no matter what it takes but makes sure his family is taken care of.
Someone who shares the load with his wife because he knows that marriage is a partnership and not a one man show.

Keep in mind the wife is a helpmate. The top advisor. I'd rather have someone smarter than me advising me. And there's no sure way to say who is more mature. You'd be surprised. Someone could have an outer countenance, self control, and gentleness and still have a heart that's black as tar. Or simply be a babe in variety of areas.

It may take 10 years to divulge this. The best thing to do is to look at his actions, see if they line up with the word. Look at your actions and do the same. And allow Hid to direct you. Certainly you don't want a parent child relationship but an equal one.

God created Eve for Adam. She was deceived by the serpent but he was given instruction by God. Seems he was the less mature because he was alive longer, in Gods presence longer, and received direct instruction from God. At the very least they were on equal footing.
