Some say love is blind and marriage is the eye-opener, so how do you tell if a man has all the qualities that would make him a good husband? When you're dating and head-over-heels in love, it could be hard to notice or regard any faults in your partner. So here are five ways you can tell if he's the Mister that's going to treat you right.
5 qualities of a good husband
He doesn't make you doubt yourself
We value the words of people who love us and take them to heart, A good husband is careful not to make you doubt yourself. Instead, he's always there cheering you on and boosting your confidence. When you tell him about a new thing you want to do, he tells you that you can do it, and he's ready to provide you with all the support you need.
He doesn't try to control you
A good husband recognises that you're an individual of your own and therefore need the space and time to be yourself. For this reason, he reinforces your individuality even when you yourself begin to forget. He'll encourage you to go out with your friends and do things you enjoyed doing before you got married.
He gives you constructive criticism
Criticism is essential, but a good husband will know how and when to give constructive criticism without damaging your self-confidence or stripping you off of your self-esteem.
He doesn't try to separate you from your family
One thing every good husband wants is to see his wife happy and emotionally balanced. He knows that having a loving family around his wife provides a support system only he alone can't provide. Therefore, instead of separating you from your family, he'll encourage you to maintain your relationship with your family. A husband who's always doing everything in his power to isolate you from your family does so to strip you of support systems so that it can be easier to manipulate you.
He's always trying to do his part
Every relationship requires balance in order to function properly. Good communication, healthy space, and steady support are all part of what a balanced relationship should be. This means that both husband and wife do everything they can to bring those things into the union. A good husband recognises this and always does his part to keep his wife happy and the relationship on track.
Every wife deserves to be happy. If your husband-to-be does the exact opposite of the qualities above, you may want to consider ending such a union. If you are already married, you may need to consider seeking counselling.
