Marriage can be a tough nut to crack! And looking for Mr Right is a bigger one to deal with, don't you think? In a world where almost everything seems bleak and uncertain, knowing you have found someone to spend the rest of your life with is surely a breath of fresh air. But how do you reach a plausible conclusion while searching for that man? Here are 10 things you should know about him before you take the plunge!
Affectionate: Sometimes it is plain difficult to find out if your man is affectionate or not. The point is, if he cares for you and your feelings, he's surely a loving and warm person. Little things like dropping you home after a dinner date or calling to check if you ate your lunch are simple gestures that prove your man is affectionate.
Good listener: In a relationship, it is important to communicate not just your feelings but also your simple desires. If your man spares a minute to hear you out, then he surely deserves to stay. A good listener is likely to acknowledge that he cares and is sensitive about your issues.
Respects women: If the man you have fallen for does not respect the lovely women in his life, then he is no good. It can be anyone – his mother, a distant friend or even a colleague! In fact, love and respect go hand in hand. It is unlikely that your man loves you if he doesn't respect you for being the woman you are!
Good humour: A little humour goes a long way in finding happiness and mutual contentment in a relationship. Most women prefer their men to possess a good sense of humour and also the ability to laugh at jokes once in a while. Being serious is one thing and looking at the brighter side of life is another.
Respect family: A few things here go without saying! For example a woman would want her man to respect his parents. Having said that your soulmate will respect the most special people in your life only if he values and treasures his own. A man, who cannot respect his family, is incapable of treasuring relationships in the long run.
Dependable: If your man is called Mr Dependable by his friends, then you can relax and be happy about it. A woman will go for a man who is responsible and gives her a reason to rely on him. Simple gestures like taking out time to finish some chores over the weekend or even helping you fix dinner shows he is dependable.
Good dresser: Who doesn't want a smart, confident and well-dressed man? Most women wish to see their men in fine clothes and most importantly, clean shoes. Also factor in that smart dressing makes a huge impact to one's sex appeal. And sure we love to flaunt our men!
Security: All of us wish to be with someone who can provide security – be it emotional or financial. Most women breathe a sigh of relief when they discover their man is capable of taking good care of them.
Friends: Your man is a happy one if he hangs out with his band of boys once in a while. Bonding with friends is an important activity and it shouldn't be just for company sake. Sometimes men are comfortable discussing certain things only amongst friends. Make sure he treasures them for life!
Hobbies: We all love to indulge in some kind of fun activity at some point in life. Be it reading, music or simply watching films. If your man loves to cook, then you cannot get luckier! And if he loves to play some kind of sport, then it only proves he enjoys being a man. Point is, keeping a hobby lets one admire the finer things in life apart from a well-paying job!
