What qualitiess you expect in your husband?

i only had one criterion when i was choosing for a husband... i wanted a man who walks with the Lord.. because i believe that when a man walk with the Lord, he will be in constant submission to the will of God and, as a wife, it would be easier to submit to a husband who submits himself to God

I have been married for 23 years, and have known my husband for 25. I instinctively "knew" that my husband would be a good provider, was intelligent, was a solid, strong man who could and would take care of me if I needed it, would be a good father for my children and was committed to what he believed was important. Those are the qualities that I needed in a husband to see me through for the long term. I was also very much attracted to him. These qualities were essential for me to commit to another. Once the marriage gets going, and real life sinks in, I think that you have to make a decision to be committed to the marriage and respect the marriage. This is not an emotional decision, but one of will. This will get you through the difficult times in a marriage; this will get you through the times when you may not be making sense, or your husband may not be making sense. I do not know of any couple who hasn't come to a fork in the road in their relationship and they have to decide to stay together or walk away. That is where the will comes in b/c at that point emotions will be running high, and if you fall back on your vows and have the mind set that you will stay together, then you find a way to work it out, become stronger, and move on. I have focused mostly on the hard times, because the easy times are just that.... Easy. I enjoy my husband as a person, I respect him, and love him, and try to not be selfish in my marriage and to think of him and do things that he likes. And he does the same for me. I have patience and know that he is worth the effort, our life together is worth the effort.

First I would just like to say that this is a great discussion. I have been married for 5 years, but my husband and I have been together for the last 13 years. I personally only had a few requirements that I wanted in a husband: 1) He has to be my best friend 2) He has to be honest with me at all times. I will not tolerate lies. 3) He has to be loyal to me, cheating is a NEVER! 4) He has to respect me I think that there are also a few things that help a relationship but the ones that I listed are the most important things that are needed to keep a relationship going. I hope that you and your husband are blessed with enough love and laughter to last a life time. Happy mylotting.

Whatever we expect from our husbands, we should also be able to give it back to them. As much as we expect the "...and they live happily ever after........" kind of thing in our love life, we must give all the effort to make it like the ones in the fairy tale stories we have wished our marriage life to be. Needless to say,to have a successful and happy marriage, both the husband and wife must work together to create a marriage that works......meaning, the husband should be open in communication, respect his wife, share the responsibilities of raising a family with his wife.also, the wife should do the same, for only in joyful loving and giving will there be a happy marriage.....
