So, you think you’re husband material? Let’s see if you’ve got the blueprint down. Every man who envisions a “healthy, loving, beautiful marriage” needs to check these boxes. Follow these steps, and you’ll be walking down the aisle in no time—assuming she agrees.
1. You Can Handle Her ‘Hangry’ Moments
Can you stay calm when she’s hungry and angry at the same time? If you can survive her hangry moods without flinching, congratulations—you’re on the right track.
2. You Know Her Coffee Order by Heart
A perfect husband knows the coffee shop, size, milk type, and whether she wants that extra shot of vanilla. If you don’t, practice until you do.
3. You’ve Mastered the ‘Sorry’ Art
Real men apologize—even if they’re right. Bonus points if you can say it with flowers.
4. You Listen to Her Dreams (And Her Rants)
A loving husband doesn’t just hear; he listens. Yes, even when it’s about Becky from work who doesn’t refill the coffee pot.
5. You’re Ready to Be the Human Heater
Cold winter nights? Be prepared to sacrifice your comfort for hers. You’re now a portable radiator.
6. You’re Patient with Her Shopping Trips
If you can endure hours at the mall and still smile, you’re marriage material. Just remember: her finding the perfect pair of shoes is your life mission now.
7. You’ve Learned the Difference Between ‘Fine’ and ‘I’m Fine’
Decoding these two words could save your future marriage. Spoiler alert: “I’m fine” usually means she’s not fine.
8. You’re Ready for ‘Choose the Dinner’ Game
She says, “You decide,” but rejects every option? Welcome to your new favorite game. Good luck!
9. You Know When to Shut Up
Sometimes, silence really is golden. Especially when she’s venting about her day.
10. You Can Spot the ‘Hint’ Drop
When she says, “I’ve always wanted to go to that restaurant,” she doesn’t mean eventually. Take her this weekend.
11. You Support Her Crazy Ideas
Whether she wants to dye her hair purple or start a llama farm, nod, smile, and say, “Great idea!”
12. You’ve Perfected the ‘I Love It’ Look
Even if her new haircut leaves you speechless, always have an enthusiastic compliment ready.
13. You’re Ready to Share Your Fries
Nothing says “love” like letting her steal your fries—even after she said she didn’t want any.
14. You Know Her Favorite TV Show (and Don’t Skip Episodes)
Netflix betrayal is real. Watching ahead without her? Grounds for relationship court.
15. You’re Willing to Learn ‘Her’ Language
No, not Spanish or French. Her language. If “nothing” happened, figure out what everything means.
16. You’re Prepared for the ‘What’s Wrong?’ Trap
If she says “nothing,” don’t walk away. Investigate. You’re now a relationship detective.
17. You’re Ready to Dance (Even if You Can’t)
She doesn’t care if you’ve got two left feet. Join her on the dance floor anyway.
18. You’ve Accepted That You’re Always Half Wrong
Even when you win an argument, you lose. Just accept it.
19. You Know the ‘Purse Hold’ Rule
Holding her purse in public? It’s not a chore; it’s an honor. Wear it with pride.
20. You Can Survive a ‘Decorating’ Weekend
Your opinions on curtains or pillows? Irrelevant. Smile, nod, and hang that picture frame.
21. You Understand the ‘Food Mood’ Cycle
There’s dinner, dessert, and second dessert. Learn the schedule.
22. You’ve Memorized Important Dates
Anniversary, birthday, first date—missing one is dangerous territory. Set calendar reminders now.
23. You’re Ready to Share the Remote
Action movies? Nope. It’s a rom-com marathon now. Get the popcorn.
24. You Know When to Surprise Her
Flowers for no reason, surprise dates, or an unexpected compliment—little things count.
25. You Love Her Even When She’s Mad at You
Even when she’s furious, you know she’s still the one. And let’s face it, you probably did something.
Gentlemen, if you’ve checked these off, you’re on the road to being the “perfect” husband—or at least, you think you are. If you haven’t? Better start practicing.
