In truth, when a man finds the person he knows he’ll be spending the rest of his life with, he’ll certainly work his hardest to keep them by his side at all times. Granted, no man is perfect, and you aren’t perfect either. But finding someone who puts you first, and whom you can put first, is key to a happy relationship and a possibility of marriage. If you have a man that adheres to the following, you know he’s a keeper for life.
1. He Is Committed To You.
You want a man who is 100 percent committed to you and the success of your relationship. In a relationship you promise to love one another always not just until hard times hit. A committed person will always be there.
2. He Addresses Problems Quickly.
A real man pays attention to your feelings. If he can tell that something isn’t right, he’ll bring it up. Don’t waste your time on guys who won’t fix problems in your relationship. A relationship can’t survive without effort.
3. He Helps You Through Your Mistakes.
When you mess up, he is there to help you fight through the pain, even when you think you don’t deserve it. Why? Because he doesn’t want to see you hurt. Your burdens are his burdens, and you’re in this together.
4. He Pays Attention To The Fine Details.
Does he pay attention to little things? He may not know every detail of your life, but he takes note of the things that matter to you. Whether he observes special dates or plays your favorite song in the car, these small acts of remembering are evidence of his love.
5. He Is Wise.
Yeah, it’s helpful to have someone around who can explain quantum physics, but even more importantly is a man who has knowledge beyond book smarts. Be with someone who is wise, who can think through issues holistically and understands the depth of a problem and all its complicated facets.
6. He Knows You Better Than You Know Yourself.
Be with someone who can predict accurately how you will react in difficult situations. That way, he can react to how you react. He can also help you guard yourself from overreacting in ways that you’ll regret later.
7. He Cares About How You Feel About Yourself.
It’s not enough for him to think that you’re beautiful; he wants you to feel beautiful as well. When you belittle your appearance, he is the first one to tell you that you are wrong.
8. He Kisses Your Tears Away.
Loving men can provide comfort in a way that no other human being can. When you feel broken and undone, he is the one that will wipe your tears away. His compassion can help pull your heart back together and give you the courage to move forward. Find someone who does that for you.
9. He Appreciates The Little Things.
More than the big gestures he finds happiness in the little things that you do for him. He is not looking for a super woman, but a partner who gives the best she can afford.
10. He Is Good With Controlling His Tongue.
A good man knows when to hold his tongue, but an even better man knows the right time and place to give you feedback. Having a doting boyfriend who thinks you do no wrong is sweet, but it’s just not practical. Your relationship will be strengthened by both of your willingness to laugh at your mistakes and help one another be better.
