It depends on a man, some men are more demanding, while others are less demanding. If you are looking for a good husband you need to find a man who would be easily to please. What is easily to please for one woman can be different for the other woman.
Most men want happy, beautiful and sexy woman. Most men aren't concerned about her earning power as long as she will still admire him and his financial success.
Every man wants to be the best. Even if a man isn't a marriage material in your eyes, he still wants to be attractive and admired by someone.
I think the number one desire that men have is to feel good about himself. He needs a woman who can admire him and appreciate him. Men want to be respected and valued in his family. He wants to feel important and powerful.
A lot of men want a sexy woman but just looks alone, won't make him love you or want to be with you. Men love nice women.
Men want to feel safe and have some control in his marriage. I think one of the number one reason why older men marry younger women is that younger women are less controlling. Younger women complain less, argue less, laugh more, easier to influence and control than it would be with older woman.
So, a lesson from this could be: don't try to act like his mom, he wants a wife, nice sweet wife.
Sometimes men forget that women are trying to be nice harder before marriage, but once they get married they have rights and don't really have to be as nice anymore. Men want the same girl as she was before he married her. So, women, try to act nice once in a while even if you are married, men love nice sweet and kind women.
Men want a wife with a nic soft personality in marriage. Any tough and bossy woman could be nice with a right man if she wants to.
Men want sex, some want it more than others, but in general men love it. Men love it so much that most women would be surprised of how much.
Men want Love. Of course men want love, but what love really means to him? Combination of respect, admiration, gifts and pleasure.
If you don't know what your man wants in marriage, ask him. I'm sure you giving hims something since he is attracted to you already...Ask him what he likes about you, what he wants in marriage.
Some men are less talkative than others but beleive me, they want sex, respect, love, admiration and maybe a few more.
Whatever you do, you still could hurt one another because we are all different, but remember the perfect marriage is where people can deal and tolerate each other arguments.
Also, every marriage has its own rules. Every couple will have a different set of rules. What rules you both want will depend on your individual needs and wants.
