11 Signs you have a good partner

Over the years, I have seen a lot of failed relationships, both from friends and relatives alike.  It is heartbreaking to hear how the supposed "love of your life" can turn into the person you never ever want to see again.

On the other hand, I also see relationships that have survived many trials, through many decades, and through many kilograms.  Such relationships are what inspired me to write this.  If we have found a good life partner, we should cherish them and we should never stop working to make the relationship last.  After all, marriage does not mean you can now stop all the efforts you have been doing for your partner.  In fact, marriage means you have to work even harder for the relationship to last.

Below are just some of the signs to say that you have found a good husband:

1.  He will always make time for you.  A person who gives you importance will always make time for you.  He will find ways to make sure he is there for you. But if he doesn't give yo importance, he will always have excuses
2.  He is a devoted father.  A good spouse should also be a good father. The responsibility of raising kids does not and should not fall solely on the mother, especially in this day and age where equality of the sexes is always being pushed, and women are also holding leadership roles.
3.  He takes care of your parents. A husband who loves you will not only take care of you but also of the people you care about.  So, if he takes care of your parents (even without you asking him to), then he is definitely a keeper.
4.  He is a good son.A good husband, usually is not only a good husband, but a good son and son-in-law as well.  How can he treat you well if he cannot even treat his family nicely?
5.  He puts God in the center of your relationship. Couples who put God in the center of their relationship can usually weather all trials that come their way while keeping their faith in God and in each other.
6.  He loves you for who you are. In a relationship, you should never have to pretend to be someone you are not.  Your husband should not love you for who he wants you to be, rather, he should love you for who you truly are.
7.  He is attentive to your needs. A man who truly loves you will know what you need even before you ask for it because he is sensitive to your needs and because he really knows you.
8.  He is always there to support you. In every relationship, it is our obligation to always be supportive of our spouse.  We should be there when he/ she is soaring high, but we should be there even more when he/ she is falling.
9.  He treats you as an equal partner in the relationship. Your partner should always treat you as an equal in the relationship.  He should not feel superior nor inferior.  When partners treat each other as equals, there will be less conflict.
10.  He is hardworking. A good partner will always have your best interest at heart.  Yes, love makes the world go round.  But in the real world, love will not give you food for your stomach, a roof over your head, or even clothes on your back. We also need to work to survive.  We should not look at the bank account before we enter a relationship. Instead, we should look at the attitude of the person.  After all, hard work goes a long way.
11.  He appreciates you. A man who loves you appreciates you for who you are and what you are to him.  When a man appreciates you, he will take care of you.

If you have found a partner who has all of these traits, do not let him go!  If he has hit the jackpot with you, you have also hit the jackpot with him.  Be thankful that in this big, crazy world, you have found the one that was truly meant for you.
