For many women, searching for the ideal spouse is a lesson in patience – and stress. However, while no partner is perfect, there are plenty of traits that women look for in their future mates.
Unsurprisingly, honesty tops the list of most desired traits in future spouses. After all, who would want to marry somebody who is deceitful and untrustworthy?
Although arguments and fights happen in every relationship, a partner must have the skills to navigate through them. “The ability to work through a disagreement calmly and rationally is vital,” says one woman.
Being supportive of one’s needs, especially regarding mental health, screams “I’m spouse material” in the eyes of countless women. But, honestly, the inverse is also true – many men look for women who will have their backs in a moment of need.
Just someone who’s got his act together, is after something long term and serious, has the maturity to work through stuff, and is ready to share his life,” reveals one woman.
The ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and see things from their perspective is a quality that only some partners have. Having this trait can be the difference between being looked at as someone who is part of a woman’s future.
