Things to Look for in a Husbandഉദാഹരണം

A True Supporter

If you are a supportive person, you are a kind of treasure for your partner. Now, the million-dollar question is: Is he one of those people always there to support their partner? Are you lucky enough to belong to this select group? Read on to discover some of the characteristics of a supportive husband. Knowing them gives you a higher chance of making the right selection.

1. He always has time to talk about your plans.

No matter how tired he is, when it comes to listening and discussing your goals and plans, he always has time. That is called being supportive and having empathy toward the other person (Colossians 3:19).

2. He encourages your ideas.

It doesn’t matter what kind of idea it is. If he is understanding, he will encourage you. It is not always necessary that he agrees, because sometimes ideas can be far-fetched, but if he has enough criteria, he will be able to distinguish between good ideas and bad ones.

4. He knows when you need a break.

If he knows how to support you, he won’t need to listen to you ask for a break (1 Corinthians 10:24). Just by seeing you, he will realize that you need a few minutes in silence or alone. He will know how to read you like an open book.

5. He tries to empathize with your problems.

It is not about correcting the problems immediately but empathizing and understanding how you feel. By saying, “I understand you,” he will give you greater peace of mind because perhaps what you are looking for is not an immediate solution but someone who understands what you feel at that moment.

6. Sometimes, he knows that he is not your main priority.

Although this may sound a bit selfish, it does not mean it is bad; quite the opposite. It may be that you are focused at that moment on a problem that you must solve and you do not pay him the same attention as always (1 Peter 4:8). However, if he is supportive, you both will be sure that this is temporary and will soon pass. This is what characterizes people who will always be there to support their partner. I pray we all have a supportive spouse.

I pray that the Lord will direct your path toward finding a loving and supportive husband.
