This question is somewhat simple, and you may find it a little strange...
I would like to know, what do you think makes a good husband?
I'm asking for a couple of reasons. Firstly, of late I have been thinking a lot about marriage... This year while I was at Bible school I made a commitment not to get involved with girls so I could focus on more important things. (Aside from the fact that I didn't think I was ready to date anyway) So, my time is nearly up, and my commitment nearly over. As such I'm begginning to consider myself elligible again (it's easier not to think about girls if you consider yourself inelligible).
Naturally I would like to have a fantastic wife, but doesn't a fantastic wife deserve a fantastic husband? Reading the letter that Malohaut posted reminded me of this as well. We all seem to have our lists of what we are looking for in the opposite sex, or what the perfect mate would be like. The problem is, everyone seems to be looking for the perfect person, but no one is trying to be the perfect person... no wonder they are so hard to find. (I especially feel sorry for my girl friends when I look at my guy friends and realize what they have to pick from)
I think that the men are supposed to be the leaders in the home, and frankly, I think that we are doing a poor job. (not every man, but many) Why is it that nearly everywhere I go the women in general are leagues ahead of the men spiritually?
My desire is towards marriage, that is something I can't deny. So the reason why I'm asking this question is so I can grow myself, and be a truly admirable husband one day. I also hoped it might inspire a little bit of thought in you other men.
The opinion of you married men is especially welcome. And women also. (although I haven't seen many of our ladies posting on here lately)
