What do men look for in a wife? What makes a man WANT to get married?

Question

Name some things a girl can do to proove she's "wife" worthy. Is being ready for marraige meeting the right person or is it a state of mind?

Answer 1

I think the state of mind and what point he's at in his life plays a big factor in whether he's ready for marriange or not. It also depends on if he sees the girl he's with as someone he can "put up" with for the rest of his life. Most guys have a fear of commitment, they don't want to be tied down to just one person. Marriage is a big step for everyone. So, I don't think it's if you're "wife" worthy, but if he's "husband" ready.  

Answer 2

You can't generalize and say all men look for one thing in a wife. Everyone is different in what they like or want.

Answer 3

Be yourself. Who would want to marry someone that wasn't showing their true colors? :-) I don't think there's anything else specific that you can say to prove that one is "wife worthy." Each person is different, each man, each woman... what might be "wife worthy" to one person may not be to another.

Some men might want a woman to stay at home--cook, clean, have kids... another man might enjoy a successful woman, independent...

Like I said before... just be yourself and be totally comfortable with who you are and where you fit in your relationship and the rest will fall into place.

I think being ready for marriage is something that just eventually happens. It could be being with the right person... when you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with them.

It won't be easy, it won't be perfect... no one's relationship is. But knowing that you can't live without that person and you are ready to make the commitment of marriage.

best of luck to you!

If she looks good naked, good in bed, and last but not least, good in the kitchen!

thats the holy trinity

Answer 5

The way to a man's heart is through his stomache.

Men are really pretty simple. Cook for them and make good love to them and they are happy.

Answer 7

Love your man for who he is and don't try to change him.

Answer 8

i think the saying "the way to a mans heart is through his stomach" is completey old school. it seems like now-a-days the saying should be "the way to a mans heart is through his pants!" lol!!

i know my husband likes the house to be not necissarily spotless, but at least clean, he wants some kind of dinner thrown together, and lastly, he wants to play his playstation without being nagged! lol. men.

Answer 9

I can't speak for all men, but I know what my husband was looking for...  He wanted someone who would not cheat on him, someone who would be faithful (because he was cheated on before).  He wanted someone who has her own job, life, ideas and opinions on things.  He didn't want someone who would be checking on him every 5 minutes, or someone very controlling.  Someone who would love and respect his family was a must.   A good sense of humor and a healthy s*x drive was a plus.  

Being ready for marriage is both being with the right person, a state of mind, and right timing.

Answer 10

As far as what a woman can do to prepare for marriage, I've always felt that a woman should be able to live independently before she's ready for marriage.  That means getting an education, living away from home, supporting yourself financially, etc., etc., etc.  

I'm a woman, but I was always told (even by my husband of over 20 years) that when a man wants to get married, it's because he feels adding a "wife" to his life will make it better.  He'll have someone to cook for him, clean for him, make his house a "home."  This may sound horribly old-fashioned, but there are things that women just naturally do better than men, and they usually involve the little things that we, as women, do instinctively to make our living spaces livable and homey.  Men appreciate this, because if you look at most single guys living quarters, they're pretty disgusting.  But, if you're living with him without being married to him, he's getting all that anyway, so he has absolutely no incentive to marry you.  I know I'm going to get thumbs downed on this one, but it's the truth.
