7 Signs Your Man Is Husband Material

When you finally meet a guy who you really click with, it’s only natural that soon enough you will start picturing the rest of your lives together.

So how can you tell if he will be the one to put that ring on your finger? Luckily, there are a few ways that you can tell if a guy is the type who is looking to settle down and commit.

And in fact, marriage is really important to a lot of men – only about 1 in 5 are the kind who never want to get married.

Marriage can symbolize a transformation from boy to man. And research has shown that the companionship, intimacy, and love that marriage brings can have many positive effects on a man’s life.

Married men are more physically healthy, more productive, earn more money, think more about the future, are happier, and even have better sex lives than men who are not married.

it’s no wonder that most men do really want to get married once they have met the right girl. In fact, most men who have marriage as a life goal are married for the first time by age thirty.

But then there are the other 20% of men – the kind who believe that marriage is NOT for them. These men tend to be less trusting of women, fear losing their personal freedom, focus on the negatives of marriage, and usually do not want children.

So how can you tell whether your man is the marrying type, and whether he is ready to make this kind of commitment in the near future?

Check his behavior against the signs below:

1. He is positive about marriage

A man who wishes to someday get married will be positive about marriage in general. He will tend to speak positively of marriage and of other people’s marriages, rather than focusing on any negatives.

Although he may not be ready right now, a man that has marriage in his grand plan won’t freak out at the thought of marriage or shoot down the idea if it is brought up.

Studies have shown that men who are religious, or have grown up in a family with both parents, tend to be particularly positive about the idea of marriage.

If, on the other hand, your man tends to focus on the negatives of marriage, he may not hold a positive enough belief in marriage to want to make that commitment himself.

For instance, if he tends to focus on the high divorce rate, troubles or downsides in other people’s marriages, or often predicts that marriages won’t last. Or he may make jokes or comments along the lines of marriage being ‘the end of a guy’s life’.

Never try to push a man like this into marriage – it will not end well. Because going into marriage with a negative mindset will only increase the chances of a marriage failing.

2. He is comfortable talking about the future and making plans

Are you and your comfortable discussing and make plans together for a year or two down the track? Does your man often make comments or references about the future you will have together?

Or does he tend to shut down these conversations about the future, saying things like “Let’s just wait until the time”, “That’s too far away”, or “Let’s just see what happens”?

If your man hopes to eventually get married, he will be comfortable talking about the future with you and making plans in advance. He doesn’t hold expectations that you could break-up at any moment, and therefore can easily visualize you being with him in the future.

If your man shies away from making plans any further out than next weekend, take this as a sign that he’s not ready for long-term commitment, and may never be. If he can’t see you being in his life long-term, he’s probably not worth your time.

3. He’s in it through the good and the bad

Even if a man tells you that he’s in it for the long run, you may not know his level of his staying power until you hit some rough patches in your relationship.

Marriage is a big commitment, and you can get a sense of his commitment level through the effort he puts into making your relationship last.

If he’s not ready for this level of commitment, he won’t be able to handle any periods of conflict or high stress in your relationship, and will probably either withdraw from you or bail.

But a man who is truly ready to bond will be willing to work with you to try to resolve whatever problems the two of you are having.

If you get the sense that your man might up-and-leave whenever the going gets tough, he’s not husband material.

4. He gets along well with women in general

A man who has marriage in mind for his future will trust women in general.

Men who’ve had positive, healthy relationships with other women (such as his mother, sisters, female friends and co-workers) are much more likely to have developed the skills needed to build and maintain a healthy marriage.

These men have greater understanding and respect for women and are less likely to see women as the enemy. They are accepting of any gender differences, without looking at these in a sexist way.

Men who make inappropriate comments about a woman’s ‘place’ in life, or talk about women in other negative ways probably won’t make good husbands, as often underlying these ‘jokes’ are some pretty sexist beliefs.

5. He has made an effort to integrate you into his family and friend groups

If a guy is thinking long-term, he will make an effort to integrate you into his family and friend groups. Because it really does mean a lot to a guy that his Mom approves of his partner, especially if he is thinking of making you his wife.

If he avoids bringing you home to meet the family or introducing you to his friends, chances are he may not have you in mind as a long-term relationship partner.

6. He puts as much importance on your needs as his own

One of the key principles behind marriage is that you and your spouse are a team – who look out for each other’s well-being, meet each other’s needs, and defend one another.

A good husband will always put his wife’s needs on an equal (if not higher) level of importance as his own.
In your relationship, does your man tend to always consider you in his actions and decisions? Or is he more out for himself, leaving you to take care of yourself?

At some stages in life we are more self-focused, for instance in young adulthood when we are trying to define who we are as a person, and when we are building our careers, which is perfectly understandable.

But if your man is currently at this stage, chances are he’s not ready to make a commitment like marriage anytime soon. Which brings us to our last point:

7. He is ready to settle down

For a man to be eligible husband material, he needs to be at a stage in life where he is ready to settle down.
This means his days of playing the field and living life on the edge are behind him, and he’s looking to develop stability in his life and gain the companionship of a life partner.

But unfortunately, the length of time you’ve been together, or how great your relationship is, does not necessarily correlate with your man’s readiness to get married.

Instead, surveys have shown that a man’s decision to marry is usually based about half on finding the right woman and the half on being ready for marriage.

Being ‘ready’ to settle down can mean different things to different men. But the basic elements include having developed a sense of maturity and stability in life – particularly financially, career-wise, and in his living situation.

Many men also express the need to feel that they have had the chance to ‘play the field’ with women, and have had a fair amount of independent fun and adventure in their lives before they get married.

So if your man has had other serious relationships and dating experience take this is a good thing, as chances are he’s going to feel more ready to settle down and have less interest in ‘playing the field’ anymore.

And this all makes sense when you think about it – it’s hard to make a serious commitment like marriage if the rest of your life is in turmoil. You want your life to be reasonably settled when you are getting married, as otherwise, the uncertainty in your life may put unwanted pressure on your relationship.

A man who’s truly feeling ready for the commitment of marriage is likely to also be thinking seriously about the other goals he wants to achieve in life, such as becoming a father, owning a house, and building his career.

To get an idea of whether your man’s ready to make a serious long-term commitment to you, you can first see if he’s open to the idea of smaller commitments such as moving in together, sharing a pet with you, moving to a new location with you, or traveling with you.

If your man isn’t feeling ready to settle down for any reason, unfortunately, nothing you do will make him get to this point right now – he simply needs more time.

So as long as all of the other signs are looking good, just be patient and support him with anything he’s currently dealing with in his life, as you don’t want to push him away by forcing the idea of marriage before he’s ready.
