How to Recognize a Good Man

 

Women are always complaining about not being able to find a “good” man. Well, I tend to disagree. If you know what to look for, finding a good man becomes easier. The following are traits that I feel make a man a “good man”.

#1: Man of God

This is my number one criteria. I know for some women this one is not important, but for me, the man of my dreams has to love God. If he loves God, I know that he will love me totally and completely. He will not put himself first. He will consider me and the needs of our family first.

#2 Provider

A good man takes care of his family, and he does it willingly. He does not begrudge his wife or his children money. He will make sure that you and your family is taken care of financially and emotionally. How do you know a man is a provider? Simple. Watch him. See how he treats his own family.  If he has children already, see if he takes care of them. If you are in need, does he offer to help you? Check out the signs.

#3: Trustworthy

A good man is trustworthy. You can trust him to be faithful to you and your family even when things are rocky at home. He doesn’t waste his paycheck on foolishness. He can be trusted to pay the bills and provide a good home for you. You can rely on him to put food on the table.

#4: Emotionally available

We all know men like to play like they have it all together. This is just a part of being a man. However, a “real” man is willing to make himself emotionally vulnerable to the woman he loves. He is available emotionally. He will tell you how he feels about you. He is caring and concerned. A good man is considerable about you, your family, your community, and your country.

#5: Financially responsible

Okay, in today’s times it is good to find a mate that has a fantastic credit report. However, I don’t think a person should be turned down because they made a few unwise financial mistakes in the past. Remember, financial talking about a man who knows how to manage his money. He also knows how to make wise financial decisions. He is always looking for ways to increase his income. He doesn’t have to work two or three jobs. He simple must be financially wise. He knows how to stretch a dollar, and how to plan for the future.  A good man will not stay in debt. He is able to identify his financial mistakes and correct. So, make sure that you discuss finances with your potential mate before the wedding.

#6: Protective

A good man is protective of his family. He makes sure that they are safe from harm. He looks out for them.

These are just a few of the traits I feel make a man a good man. The following are other articles that will help you recognize a good man and how financial problems can ruin a relationship:
