Do you have a Good Man?

It always baffles me, whenever I hear conversations from women complaining about their husbands or boyfriends. They seem to be so critical of him - pointing out every flaw he has - from not putting the towel on the towel rack properly, to not taking them out on the date that they would love to have.

As a man, I'm not perfect. In fact the only person that is perfect is Jesus - and even though I strive to be like him, I'm far from him. I think all too often women are looking for that hero that will sweep them off their feet and solve every problem.

But what women aren't looking at is sometimes they have flooded these men with problems and have put them into a position where they're tired of solving every little thing.

But how do you know if you have a good man? Women ask yourself these questions.

  • Does he take care of his family?
  • Does he combine his income with yours in an open manner to help you both achieve the hopes and dreams that you have as a family?
  • Is he a nice person to those around him?
  • Does he show an honest interest in your well being?
  • If you were hospitalized could you count on him to visit you and take care of the household while you were away?
  • Does he have a love for the Lord and share that love with you?
  • Is he faithful?
If the answer to most of these questions is yes, and you still don't think you have a good man, then ask yourself... what's wrong with my perception. Why is it that he isn't one in my own eyes. It could be that your own expectations are clouding your judgement.
