what makes a husband a good husband? and a happy marriage?

Answer 1

A mutual interest and affection for one another.

Answer 2

Commitment, motivation, patience, perserverance, doing what is right even when what is wrong is more profitable, beneficial and enjoyable. Faithfulness, forgiving, unselfish........... and the list goes on. What makes a happy marriage? When a couple give 100% to each other without expecting or demanding anything in return. Also respect plays a big part. Someone must drive and the other should be the helper. In my opinion the driver is the husband, if he's a real man he'll step up and do the job with love, compassion and loving authority. The wife is to help him and if she will do that correctly he will have reason to love and protect her. You ask a good question but its hard to answer in just a paragraph.

Answer 3

Their character..

For me, and id think most women.. a good husband would be classified as many things but some of the key characteristics would be.. a man that is a man of his word..since thats where it starts with vows.. a promise.. A man that is a hard worker, that is atleast at times romantic, passionate, caring, understanding, willing to compromise.. a man that can be a man, with out the arragance of a control freak.. someone that realizes that his spouse is his partner not someone that is owned.. A good husband is one that worries about your well being and does all he can to protect u and ur future.. One that is a good father to your children that has morals and values and wants to help instill them into your children..

A good husband is always easy to detect.. Good husbands are usually good men that dont have to demand respect but get it from all that know him.. u can see it in their wives eyes because every time she looks at him its with pride and not shame or disgust.. He is a leader and not a follower..and he always does what is "RIGHT" no matter how it feels..

Happy marriage takes alot of love, compassion, trust, understanding, respect, compromise and self sacrifice for the other.

The realization that marriage is never 50/50 one is always doing alittle more then the other, the only problem is, when one person is always constantly carrying the load..then u come into alot of problems.. you have to be willing to give , just as much as take in a relationship.. U have to let a man be a man, and in return he has to respect u as a woman, and each has to be giving of each others needs..

Answer 4

Personally, I feel a gd husband doesn't mean u hv a happy marriage but definitely not having a gd husband will even harder to hv a happy marriage.
It depends on yr personality and expectation. I've witness a wonderful husband, loving,caring,do not smoke or drink and hardly spends late nights or even visiting pubs or bars. I ask her wife, she must be the most fortunate wife in the whole world but she say no. No, because she finds it boring, monotonously and un-exciting. She feels it is too plain and too predictable kind of life. She is not complaining but she's not happy either.
Which means by having a perfect husband do not guaranteed u a perfect marriage. Sometimes I believe a happy marriage is all arrange by god, we only can pre-qualify but decision is with him! That's my opinion. Cheers!

Answer 5

I wish I had an answer for you. I think in my 25 years of marriage the times we were happiest were when we truly had compassion for one another, encouraged each other and I could trust him and know he valued me.
For me, I like knowing my input has value, that my self is appreciated. That helps me appreciate my husband.
Marriage must have downs to appreciate the ups. I think that if you weigh them, and there are more ups than downs, the marriage can work. However when inlaws become more important, when other things are more important and trust is broken, then a marriage is no longer good.
Lastly,
Happiness is a choice. You can be happy in almost any situation....to expect someone else to make you happy is unrealistic. However, if you can not find peace when with someone, then they are not good for you...as a spouse.

Answer 6

I think that you can only determine what a good husband is to you. I can't answer the happy marriage part because I didn't have one but I think it would be nice if the couple were best friends and respected each other.

Answer 7

Women say that they want a loyal, respectful, caring, strong, rich, smart, handsome man but subconciously they're searching a man who is a selfish, coward, liar, cheater, abuser, irresponsible, and obnoxious jerk. If a man has all those qualities women subconciously yearning for then he'll be a good husband and they'll have a happy marriage.

Answer 8

Each person has there own definition of a good husband depends what your looking for.each couple has ther own recipe for a successful marriage

Answer 9

A good husband is a man who listens to your whinning and moaning and actually answers you with an answer you want to hear. A man that walks up to you and gives you a good massage and has your dinner ready and dosent question where i am going because he knows that i am coming home to him.

Answer 10

A good husband knows how to take control and lead. He also knows how to keep his wife in line.

Answer 11

Someone who meets you in the middle. The best husband is just like the best wife. You shouldn't feel like you really want to be with him, you should feel like you can't live without him.
