...hack it as a husband? Here’s how to know.
. Last week a buy found this is a car he bought - 22 rules for her boyfriend. Unreasonable. The rules are:  This excerpt, from a pastor's article, is of ten areas to consider when looking for good husband material. This is a discussion of desirable and reasonable characteristics, not religion or the Bible. If you don't like it, please pass on replying. Today we spend countless hours counseling young couples as they prepare for marriage. We have the opportunity to observe the relationships of others as we prepare for the weddings I’m officiating as a pastor. I’ve had the opportunity to see clear patterns of what works in relationships and what ends terribly. I’ve seen how awful compromises of morals and logic are made when strong emotions get in the way. I’ve also seen how some individuals go about dating in a way that’s so controlling that no one can ever meet their “standards.” Most singles are trying to answer the same question: “Who should I date?” But that’s the wrong question. The question you should ask is: “Who should I marry?” Lift your eyes above the here and now and the fun of dating a stranger, the emotional rush of a long phone conversation, or the pursuit of premarital intimacy. Instead, start to think about dating with long-term happiness in the mind – the happiness marriage can provide. Rather than 22 things women should want a boyfriend to do or not do, here’s a list of 10 things women should want a man they marry to be. The answers are rooted in the Bible – a very old book but as relevant today as ever! 1. Submissive to authority. Rebellious guys might grab your heart for a moment. But for a long-term relationship, you want someone who will admit that he is not always right, and be willing to change when others point that out to him. Does he listen to others and yield to wisdom? (Hebrews 13:17) 2. Honesty. Does he say what he means and do what he says? Does he go out of his way to speak with whole, complete and concentrated truth? Without honesty, you can’t trust what he says – including when he says “I do” and commits to you in marriage. (1 Corinthians 13:6) 3. Kind.Is he nice to others around him? Don’t expect him to be consistently kind to you long-term if he is not kind to others. (2 Timothy 2:24) 4. Selfless. Does he think of your needs, and the needs of others, ahead of his own? Is he generous and willing to share his possessions and time with others? Husbands are called to love their wives selflessly and sacrificially, “just as Christ loved the church” (Ephesians 5:25). 5. Patient. Is he willing to wait for good things? Does he value you enough to wait for you? “Patient” is the very first word used to describe love in the famous “love chapter” of the Bible (1 Corinthians 13:4). 6. Courageous. Will he stand for what is right when it is difficult, embarrassing or unpopular? Will he stand up to protect you? (1 Corinthians 16:13) 7. Gentle. Can he control his strength, and balance it with grace? (1 Timothy 3:2-3) 8. Diligent. A diligent person can be counted on to provide. Does he work hard? (Proverbs 12:24) 9. Faithful. Consider his reputation closely. Anyone can fake the things on this list when trying to impress a woman. Does he have a reputation consistent with these character traits? (Proverbs 20:6) 10.Committed to God. Those who follow the Lord and are prayerful and are committed to Him have a moral compass to guide them. This will certainly help in how they relate to their wives. (Galatians 5:22-25) https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/can-mr-wonderful-hack-it-as-a-husband-heres-how-to-know |

The person who created the list, or expects
anyone to follow those  rules, Is quite the controlling and insecure basketcase. |

The person who created the list, or expects anyone to follow those rules, Is quite the controlling and insecure basketcase. The first list of 22 things to do or not do, yes I totally agree with you. The second list of things to look for... those are qualities that are important in both the man (and woman, imo). Key ingredients to keep a relationship/marriage strong and sustainable. |

1. Submissive to authority: Rebellious guys might grab your heart for a moment.

Does he listen to others and yield to wisdom? (Hebrews 13:17) 2. Honesty: Does he say what he means and do what he says?

I think maybe the first list was from someone who didn't really want to be with the boyfriend anyway.
I think the second list is not for everyone, but definitely strong Bible based advice for Christians. |

If a man has to be given a list of Rules, He is not a real man !

I agree. The second list is much better.

Of the pastor's list, #10 is the only one I could do without.
I'm spiritual, not religious. I won't join an organized religion. I believe in God, and when God wants to tell me something, He makes sure I get the message. Then it's up to me what I do with that. For instance, He gave me a "wake up" call about 3 years ago. I've been avoiding something for over 20 years. But then He started pushing me in that direction yet again. So I asked Him to clarify what is was that He intended. Just 2 days later, out of the blue, a friend of mine gives me God's answer while paying me a compliment. Some may not believe it, but it was an extremely uncanny coincidence because I had spoken to NOBODY about it. -- Long story short -- My relationship with God is between Him and myself. Nobody else. It's not my partner's problem, and I won't make her beliefs my problem either. |

...hack it as a husband? Here’s how to know. . Last week a guy found this in a car he bought - 22 rules for her boyfriend. Unreasonable. The rules are:  I certainly hope the guy that received those rules ran from Miss Stake instead of following her rules.

If a man has to be given a list of Rules, He is not a real man ! I agree and disagree with your statement. A man that is a man is a REAL man. Thing about lists and trying to live by a set of rules implied by a list is that people are all different. The only way a list is going to work is if the person you are using the list on is also disciplined to the same exact list and with the same intent that you have when considering the items in the list. That's just not gunna happen. We all see the world from behind our own eyes and each view is different. Our values which may be similar are never exactly the same. Personally, I don't see why I should make a list for others to live up to my expectations. I think its better to experience them as the people they are and accept or reject them according to my own preferences. When I find the woman that has more qualities I accept than reject, then I have found someone I want to be with. If you being you makes me want to be near you AND Me being me makes you want to be near me We should find acceptance and contentment in each other's company. Its really not a hard concept to understand. |

Often times the Man has a list for the woman! If she doesn't fit then he doesn't date her. So that list can work Both Ways.
Real men don't need to be handed a list ! |

Can Mr. Wonderful ..... please be buried as a concept. Please let me know how you reconcile: Submissive to authority...will admit that he is not always right, and be willing to change when others point that out to him with: Courageous. Will he stand for what is right when it is difficult, embarrassing or unpopular? Especially when none of the 10 things to look for are intelligence or discernment? Should women be looking for bipolar jekyll and hyde type guys? and: 5. Patient. Is he willing to wait for good things? with 8. Diligent. A diligent person can be counted on to provide. Does he work hard? People used to working hard for everything tend to not have the patience to not work at something. Or, is it really patience if they aren't really waiting so much as just distracted by all that working? Other than that: Rather than 22 things women should want a boyfriend to do or not do, here’s a list of 10 things women should want a man they marry to be. There's nothing in that list of 22 things that says the guy who is subject to that list doesn't/wouldn't/can't fulfill those 10 things from the second list. Could be the author of the 22 point list did focus on the 10 things, but still has to make that 22 point list. Quite easily the list of 22 things is necessary because the guy fulfills the 10 things to look for to a high degree. So where is the list of 10 things for a guy to look for in a woman that makes a 22 point behavior list? |
