Quotes About Being a Good Wife

What qualities do men look for in a wife? Unlike what many women believe, men are not necessarily looking for a drop dead gorgeous woman as a spouse. True, men are attracted to smoking hot women who make their heart do a double flip. But when it comes to marriage, these are the questions men should ask:

Do I Have a Karmic Connection With the Girl?

She is immensely compatible. There is something about her that makes you miss her every moment that she is away from you. It is almost as if she can read your mind. If you hit it off with this girl you are dating instantly. You enjoy her presence and she is probably the right girl for you.

Does She Know Me Inside Out?

Your girl is in tune with your needs, moods, and weaknesses. She knows how to turn you on and how to reach deep into your heart. But, if you find yourself satisfying her needs while ignoring your own, back off from this relationship immediately.

Does She Complete Me?

Does your girl love you unconditionally? Do you trust her completely? Is she responsible, caring, and selfless? If yes, then get down on one knee now. You need a woman who will be by your side, loving you, and caring for you. What more could you want from a wife?
