10 Qualities To Look For In Your Future Husband

Every woman has a list of qualities that they want their ideal or future husband to have. They can range from tall, dark, and handsome, to a prince charming who will sweep them off their feet. But, that's all in the fairy tales; what about the real world? What qualities should a woman look for in her future husband?

Well, here are 10 important qualities your future husband must have:

  1. Share your beliefs and values- He must share your religious beliefs and respect your values. No matter what anyone says, nothing brings people closer together than sharing common beliefs and values. You cannot build a future if he doesn't agree on where you stand. Since religious beliefs are very important to many, its natural to look for someone with the same beliefs and values if you want to bring both sides of the family together.
  2. Sense of humor- Life has its ups and downs and sometimes you need good laugh to get you going. Thus, it's important that he has a sense of humor; the good kind. Not the kind of sense of humor where he laughs at other's expense or is inappropriate, but a more of a positive and generous sense of humor; one that lifts and revives your spirit.
  3. Honesty- Nobody likes liars, no matter what kind of lie it is or how small or big the lie is. He must be honest at all times; both with himself and with you. If he can't be honest with himself or accept his own weakness, he won't be honest with you. Honesty will ensure open communication at all times and create a strong bond between you and him.
  4. Selflessness - A man who puts others before him and is ready to help anyone in need is a man who will treat you right. A man who values selflessness is most likely to be a more supportive and caring husband.
  5. Financially stable- There is nothing that ruins a good marriage more than money, as sad as it is. But, to build a strong future, he must be able to provide for you and the family. This means having a secure and stable job or career.
  6. Humility/modesty- Also the mark of piety, modesty and humility means putting others before yourself. A modest and humble man is one who is steady and wise. You can depend on him to be your pillar.
  7. Hard work ethic- He will never give up. This means he will be strong and driven toward his ambitions. No matter what the circumstance, he will always work hard to provide for your future family.
  8. Accepts your flaws- No one is perfect. We all have our imperfections, but they are what sets us apart from others. They are what makes you unique. If a man has that mindset, then he is one that will never put you down for what you don't have, but accept and appreciate what you already have.
  9. Intelligence- Yes, it's an essential quality(and no, its not a boring one). It doesn't necessarily have to be the "college degree" kind of intelligence, but the kind where he can help you make better choices and give you insightful advice.
  10. Respectful- A man who respects himself will respect those around him. He will also instill that into his children. A man with respect will always be respectful towards his wife and watch what he says.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
