Eight Qualities Women are Looking for in Men

Research conducted sometime ago by some experts reveals that women desire a husband who possesses certain qualities among which are the following:

1.   Genuine Love

Women expect their partner to genuinely love them just as they love him. Their man should reciprocate the love they have for him. Genuine love should go beyond carnal love. Anything short of that would make them lose confidence and trust in their man. Love is indeed reciprocal.

2.   Romance 

Women expect their man to be romantically attracted to them. Romance is an expression of full love for both partners. Romance is a means of procreation. It is meant to fulfil God’s mandate to man to “multiply and replenish the earth.” Romance is therefore an essential ingredient in a thriving relationship (i.e., relationship between legally married couple).

3.   Finance

 

Unless a man appears to have a great future and is working towards it, women don’t ordinarily want to tie the knot with the man. A poor man who cannot take good care of himself will not be able to take good care of his wife.

Women want to marry a man who is at least financially secure (not necessarily the richest man in the society). Financial insecurity is one of the reasons couples don’t enjoy happy marriage. Women want a man that can take good care of them.

4.   Respect 

Women want a man who will see them not as a property or a slave, but as a partner, friend, or helper. Women want a man who will respect them and treat them nicely. They hate bullies and wife-beaters who will subject them to physical torture.

Many divorce petitions in courts are filed by wives who maintain that they are fed up with their husband’s assault and battery and want a dissolution of their marriage.

5.   Tolerance

 

Women want a man who is tolerant, a man who knows that no one is perfect, a man who knows that no marriage can thrive where both spouses cannot exercise some tolerance.

6.   Friendship 

Women want a man who will treat their union as a friendship affair. They want their husband to relate with them as a friend and not see them as a subordinate. Although they don’t dispute the role of a man as head of the family, they however want a man they can share their thought, feeling, apprehension, etc with as a friend.

7.   Education

Women want their future partner to be an educated husband. Even illiterate women in the countryside wish to marry a man who is educated. This does not mean that when a man is not educated women don’t like him. If a man is uneducated but can cater for them or is well-to-do, women would still want to tie the knot with him.

8.   Companionship 

Women want companionship with their husband. They don’t want a man that will marry them, dump them at home and move to foreign land in search of “gold.” They don’t want to be left at home for years. They want intimate relationship, and anything short of that is tantamount to desertion. Cases are rampant of women who call it quit (divorce) on ground of desertion on the part of the husband.
