Every woman desires that her husband is the best person on this earth. He must have all the good qualities of an ideal husband, that is he must be considerate, caring and loving. Although an ideal marriage is rarely possible as when two individuals live under the same roof, they tend to fight and argue with each other.

In most cases, couples make adjustments so they remain together, but often two individuals turn out to have different temperaments and simply cannot adjust to each other. Naturally, the marriage breaks down.

For a marriage to be a success, both the partners must have qualities which will make the marriage a very fulfilling affair. Although the wife also has an important role to play in the success of the marriage as she has to take care of the home and children, the husband has definitely a greater role as he is in most cases the bread earner and provider of the family. No doubt, these days, due to economic pressures, both the husband and wife are earning, but this does underplay the role of the husband only to a certain extent. Traditionally, he is still considered to be the head of the family.

Husbands are always eager to please their wives, although it is not all that easy to please the fairer sex. One has to strive very hard and go that extra mile to win over the spouse. Men read books, magazines or consult their peer group to seek various suggestions to please their better half. How? Let's have look.

Top 10 Qualities of a Good Husband
Below are some of the top qualities that a husband should have -

He should be trustworthy. The wife must be able to confide in him and also know that he loves her only and not somebody else. Men are very good at dating but when comes to being a good husband, they more than often fail. Men who have a sexual experience with many women in the past are less likely to be faithful to their wives. It is similar to people leaving alcohol where a high percentage of people fail. The romance present while dating slowly fades and it is limited to more or less only while copulation.

Loyalty is very essential. A wife can never share her man with another woman and expects her husband to be loyal to her. Often, the husband strays and this causes much tension and friction in the family. A wife may choose to forgive, and in case the affair with the other woman is rather serious, then she may ask for a divorce. Naturally, for a happy family life, both the partners have to be loyal to each other

Sincerity is also very essential. A woman likes it when her husband showers love on her and make her feel that she is the only woman in his life. He must reciprocate his feelings towards her

A good husband must be responsible. He must take care of his family, provide for the children's education and health and also ensure that his wife is well taken care of economically and emotionally

He must be successful at his career. A man who does not show any success in his official ventures may not be appreciated by his spouse. Every woman wants her husband to be successful, as success means prosperity to her family

Most woman respect an upright and honest man. They like when their men work hard and prove that they are successful.

His self-esteem must be high. He must feel good about himself and then only his wife will also respect him

He must be a good listener. No doubt, a husband has had a hard days work and expects his wife to listen to him. At the same, the wife also had an equally tough time with household chores and children to take care of and would like her husband to listen to her woes. There has to be a give-and-take relationship

Adaptability - A husband must be able to adapt himself to any given situation. He must be able to devote time towards the upbringing of his children and also pay adequate attention to his wife's needs. He must be able to handle family and household financial crises

Sensitivity - A husband who is sensitive towards his wife's feelings is well appreciated. A wife needs all the emotional and financial support to bring up her children. She, after all, spends a lot of time looking after the children. Naturally, she would expect her husband to be sympathetic towards her feelings

It is quite obviously an ideal husband has to have a lot of good character qualities which will make his wife like and respect him. If he is responsible then his wife will also be able to take good care of her family.

One has to keep the relationship healthy: One must keep the communication flow healthy between the spouses. One must try to build trust and also get rid of misunderstandings. One must avoid arguments and try to convey issues very amicably so that it does not result in major fights. Tips to avoid arguments and fights:

Do not allow the feeling to build up and get bottled up as one will end up bursting out one's feelings.

Give her full attention and do not divert your attention to other things while she is talking. Listen to her feelings. Do not avoid her by looking elsewhere.

Use diplomacy while dealing with her. Do not accuse her, but rather try to make her understand the issue. In case, she is at fault, reason out with her and makes her realize she is at fault, without antagonizing her.

If you are angry or in a bad mood then let your spouse know that you are upset so that she provides you with the required space for you to relax and ease out your anger, rather than take it out on somebody.

Spend time with your spouse: One must take some time out from one's hectic schedule and spend time with one's wife. She does require your attention. Also, she must have her own space as well and let her know that you also require your own space. One must spend a day together to understand and appreciate each other's problems. Treat her with due respect, so that she understands that you also need to spend some time with your pals.

Compromises have made to be made: Make few compromises to make your wife happy. No doubt, too many compromises by one person does cause resentment and affects the marriage.

Sharing chores: To be a good and understanding hubby one has to share the household chores as well. A wife has to handle the kids as well shoulder the responsibilities at home. In case, you as a husband helps her out in her daily work schedule at home it harmonizes the relationship and also improve one's sex life.

Clean up your own mess: One must make an effort to clean up one's own mess as that would relieve the wife of the burden of too many household chores. Also, she will feel happy that you are showing some consideration towards her and also that you do appreciate her hard work at home.

Behave well at home: Make sure that you keep up your "home" manners that are do not get sloppy in behavior that would make your spouse feel awful. Keep up hygiene and try to be neat at home as well. No doubt, home is a place where you relax, nevertheless, one must maintain "home" etiquette as well.

Laugh together: One must enjoy precious moments together and laugh together to relieve stress and strains of daily life. No doubt, sometimes it is difficult to do so as one may not be in the proper mood, but one has to try to crack a few jokes to humor your spouse as life will be easy going. It lowers blood pressure, oxygen flow to the brain improves and also one's mood takes an upswing and you will feel less pressurized.

Loyalty: Reassure your wife that you love her the most so that she does not doubt your fidelity. The bond between both of you becomes more stronger.

An element of independence: It is important to keep up the independence of your wife so that she also feels she is an individual. Making her totally subservient to yourself can definitely make her unhappy and also resent you. Mutual respect for each other brings about happiness and joy in the relationship. Moments may be there when the equilibrium may get affected but try to maintain the balance.

If issues get out of hand, then it is advisable to seek professional help, rather than fight and create a bad environment for the children. Initially, you can seek peer group help if they are trustworthy. If this does not help, then professional counseling may help to resolve issues.

In the East this is not a way out usually, although now educated women who are financially strong are resorting to this option to harmonize their marital life. It is advisable to be more tolerant of each other and thus resolve issues amicably. The question of how to be a better husband can be answered if one does some self-introspection and see where one is at fault. Yes, tempers do flare up and one may be very unreasonable, but just calm down and relax and see the issue on hand in a better perspective.

Recently, my wife posted The Husband List: 12 Non-Negotiables, which has received many comments from readers wondering what the wife list looks like.

I can sum up most of my friends' wife lists: 1. Blonde, 2. Skinny, 3. Hot. A few others might include: she likes football, she drinks beer with my buds, and she's at least a full C. No matter what I write below, that list isn't going away for some of guys. We're all stubborn, but we can also be authentic. Sometimes we just have to learn the hard way.

Earlier this week, I wrote the article An Uncrafty Guy's Guide to Making a Vision Board about keeping you visually focused on your dreams. Should we be specific about the woman we want to marry? Absolutely. However, make a list with long-term vision. Most of the characteristics we think we want in a wife aren't ones that make for a good, lifelong relationship. They are characteristics of a woman we want for one night.

Just like character is the most important quality of a good guy, the woman you're going to marry should have good character as well. When you find her, she is more valuable than anything. Here are 10 qualities of good future wife material:

1. She shares your beliefs

When it comes to finding your wife, I've heard "equally yoked." It has nothing to do with weightlifting for those of you guys who like muscle women. Your potential wife should share common beliefs with you. You may think you can do some missionary dating, and turn that situation around so she will believe everything you do, but you're probably going to be very disappointed with some bad side effects. If you don't share core beliefs....good luck.

2. She makes you a better man

If everyday is hell with her, that should be a red flag. Your potential wife should elevate you to Yourself 2.0. You can get a good idea from your friends and family. Do they say you act differently in a bad way when you are around her? Not a good sign. She should bring out the best in you, not bring out heartache and frayed nerves.

3. She's trustworthy

In fact, she should inspire trustworthiness within you. If you don't trust her, you're probably making her as bitter as you're making yourself. Not worth it. If you can't trust her, maybe you're not ready to date her or maybe you need to work on confidence issues within yourself. If there's good reason not to trust her, don't even go there. Just like any cheater, it's bound to happen again.

4. She has ambition

She should have strength in character and carry herself with confidence. As a man, you should be the leader in the relationship, but for any dictators who feel justified here; we're talking servant leadership. You probably don't want the consummate follower either. She should have plans too. In fact, she should be a hard worker just like you. That doesn't mean having a job is a requirement. One of my friends is a stay-at-home wife with three kids, and she works harder than any of my friends with careers.

5. She's selfless

She should care about others. Look at the way she treats her family and her friends. If she's not close with her family, and doesn't have any good friends, that's not a good sign. If you start dating her, much less marry her, you will discover why soon enough. Some questions to ask yourself: Does she care about causes? Does she go out and volunteer? Does she give change to the needy or buy them a meal? These are important characteristics to consider.

6. She's attractive

In your eyes, she should be a "10." When my wife walks in the room, I'm awestruck by her every time. She's beautiful from the inside out. However, I've dated "hot" girls who ended up being downright ugly by the time we broke up. Personality plays into attractiveness big-time. Just remember, "charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting." She should be beautiful down to her soul because that kind of beauty lasts forever.

7. She's smart

You're going to be spending a lot of time with her, so she should be able to hold a good conversation. She should be wise, smart, and give you good advice. Her women's intuition should be strong. I look to my wife all the time for advice. She's collected all sorts of wisdom from her mom. She remembers everything. Yes, everything....maybe too much.

8. She loves you unconditionally

If she's trying to change you to be another person, it's time to move on. Your future wife should love you just as you are, regardless of anything you've done in your past. There will be minor adjustments along the way, but if she nags you about your core characteristics, it won't get any better in marriage.

9. She's responsible

Does she remember appointments and meetings? Does she flake all of the time? She should already do a good job of managing her own life. If she's got loads of debt and doesn't work, you're going to be taking all of that on. Ultimately, she will have some part in your financial well-being, and guess what? Finances remain one of the leading causes of divorce.

10. She gets along with your family and friends

If she doesn't even try to connect with your family and/or friends, let her go. She shouldn't be critical of the people who you love and have been loyal to you throughout your life. There might be cases where your mom doesn't like your future wife, and that may require your intervention; but in general, she should be a good fit with the people in your life. Marriage is a joining of two lives that existed prior to meeting the other person.

When it comes down to it, you know what you can handle. Love can overwrite any of the qualities above, but having these qualities will certainly make your lives easier once you are married. No one's perfect. Even with this list, both of you are still going to bring some kind of baggage into the relationship. First start with yourself. Check a few boxes off The Self List. Make sure premarital counseling is a huge priority once you find her. My wife and I did a relationship bootcamp in addition to premarital counseling. One session just doesn't cut it. Throw everything but the kitchen sink at the most important decision you will ever make.
