11 Signs You Are A Wife Material (According To Men)
In the 1950s, what constituted “wife material” was pretty basic compared to how it is now. “Perfect” wives were women who stayed home to take care of the kids, keep the house in order, and have dinner ready promptly at 6PM when her husband walked
through the door. Women’s aspirations became second to fulfilling their “wifely duties.” It sounds terribly depressing, to be honest.
But, being that it’s 2015, so much has changed since then. What
makes a woman a wife isn’t about being docile, submissive, and
letting the man run the show. Thanks to the Women’s Movement, there is an equality that makes both men want to find their partner and not their, well, maid.
We talked to 11 men about what makes a woman “wife material.”
This is what they had to tell us.
1. You love in equal measure.
“It just boils down to love and attraction. I don’t mean any kind of
romantic ideal, but like, proper love, where you love them so much
that even when you’re mid-argument and super angry you still
make sure they take an umbrella to work because it might rain.
Any person who loves you that much in equal measure, and
doesn’t mind risking a s*x-related hip fracture when you’re both
in your 70s is definitely marriage material.”
2. You have insatiable intellectual curiosity.
“Basically, I need someone who will both challenge and complete
me. I don’t want a fan or sycophant, nor do I want an adversary.
The ideal woman will have an understanding of my strengths and
weaknesses and exploit them not to injure me, but to make me
better. She would also have an insatiable intellectual curiosity
and big b**bs. But in all seriousness, I don’t know that we need
to have the perfect woman to qualify as marriage material. I know
I don’t. All I need is that person who makes the concept of being
with anyone else an exercise in idiocy.”
3. You accept without reservation.
“Total acceptance for who you are both the good and bad.”
4. You laugh.
“A sense of humor. That’s the most important thing a woman a
can have if I were to want to marry her. Of course I’d want her to
be kind, genuine, adventurous and someone with whom I’d like to
share my life but above all is sense of humor. Laughing and
loving together is what makes a long-lasting relationship.”
5. You can cook.
“I know this is going to come off sexist, but it isn’t. I swear. That
being said, wife material for me is a woman who can cook and
cook well, like French pastry type well. Not because I want her in
the kitchen but because I can’t cook to save my life but eating is a
passion of mine. If her passion is to cook and mine is to eat then
we can’t lose. I’d like to say once again that this isn’t me giving
into gender stereotypes. Cooking and eating together is sexy. I
guess I’m a regular old George Costanza.”
6. You challenge him.
“She has to challenge me to be my best self. That’s my main
qualification. Also, I can’t marry someone who isn’t funny.”
7. You’re affectionate.
“Looking at my parents’ marriage there wasn’t as much emotional
support as I think my mother needed from my dad. They fought
too often and I never saw them, not once, show any sort of
affection toward each other. Because of that, a woman who is
affectionate and loving is someone with whom I want to grow old
with. I don’t ever want my kids to wonder why mom and dad
never hugged, kissed, or cuddled, like I always wondered. I want
them to know we love each other and they were born from that
love.”
8. You have your own life.
“In my mind, a woman with her own life is probably the coolest
one to marry. And by ‘her own life’ I mean: her own career, her
own set of friends, her own independent streak, her own dreams,
and her own bunch of at least 15-20 vinyl records. This would
certainly be a fair thing for a woman to want in a potential
husband too, by the way.”
9. You don’t publicly embarrass .
“She doesn’t punk you in public in general but particularly in front
of your friends. Bust chops? Okay. Disagree? Sure. Argue? Maybe.
But if she’s wife material she’ll keep anything demeaning or
embarrassing private.”
10. You love your past mistakes.
“I know this is cliché, but wife material for me is someone who
loves the worst in me and is OK with all my screw-ups. I’ve made
a lot of mistakes along the way and have my fair share of regrets,
so if she can love that stuff and not hold it against me, then I’d
call that wife material.”
11. You are considerate .
“‘Wife material’ indicators can range from doing the wallet dance
(thanks, but we’ll pay) or something sweet like making our bed
after a sleepover. It’s so simple, but speaks to a level of
consideration you don’t always get in some people who might
feel a little too entitled to your chivalry.”
