Also some extensive Google research, here are qualities a Man would have for Him to qualify as “Husband Material!”:
He’s right for you when (RUTH chapter 1-4):
He is WORTHY – just like Boaz, he has a good reputation. He is respected among his peers because he has proven himself a man of his word! “Actions speak louder than words”. Also he has a SOLID relationship with God..like I said in my post ‘Let’s talk healthy relationships’; God is THE solid foundation you need in every relationship for it to last – therefore, your husband needs to have that relationship with God.
He is a PROTECTOR– just like God protects the people He loves. Boaz protected Ruth by telling her to farm in his field and telling his men not to touch her. Your husband will protect your PURITY: if you’re still a virgin, he will respect your boundaries of abstaining from sex until marriage! and if you’re not, create that boundary and your husband will respect it and every other boundaries put in place. Additionally, he will guard your heart by making known his intentions, not lingering about enjoying the benefits without accepting the appropriate responsibility: “acting like a couple when you’re not a couple” which is immature…bringing me to my next point:
He is a PROVIDER– he is a hardworking, responsible and a MATURE man. I’m not talking about age maturity, I’m talking about a guy who has his priorities straight. He wants to provide for his family, not everyday ‘money is my main priority’. It’s okay to want to be rich and successful but 1 Timothy 6: 10 “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs”. Also, you feel safe and secure as his wife, he has your best interest at heart; serves you sacrificially by loving you as Christ loves the church.
He is OBSERVANT – he finds you attractive! But, he sees beyond your physical attributes and admires your inner beauty – how kind and loving you are! He studies you to get to know you: what makes you both happy and unhappy so he can do the things you enjoy; know the things that make you tick and understand you fully over time.
He is a MAN OF INTEGRITY – he does NOT manipulate you or any situation that involves you to get something from you; lie; cheat; or abuse you (verbally, emotionally, physically, psychologically). He always does what is right no matter how difficult it is, respects authorities and he seeks counsel from a wiser christian man – He is accountable!
