What is the most important thing about a man that makes him a good candidate for a husband? A comfortable six-figure income? Nope. A strong, well-built body perfect for the beach? Nope. A friendly guy who your mother will trust? Nope. Each of these things may be important, but the biggest thing that makes a man valuable as a potential husband is a desire to create children. As detailed in A Big Reason Marriages Fail, a woman’s value in the eyes of a man depreciates drastically on the sexual front. Marriages built on the foundation of a man’s sexual appetite and nothing else almost always fail. In order for a marriage to work, additional elements need to be in play. Among companionship and secretarial value, the biggest of these additional elements is a man who wants children.

The best chance you have at a successful marriage is one in which a.) you appeal to a man as someone who would make a great mother and b.) you find a man who wants to have children. This is the optimal partnership for marriage.

Would You Make A Good Mother?

The best way to land a husband is to find a guy who wants children. Once that is done, you need to convince that man that you would make a good mother. Do this by being responsible, caring, and thoughtful. Women who are emotional train-wrecks that like to go out and party will not appeal to a man looking to procreate.

Only Date Men Who Want Kids

If you want to get married, my advice would be to totally avoid dealing with men who don’t seem to display an interest in having children. These men will be much harder to trap into marrying you, and when you do, the marriage will probably fail. The easiest way to get a man to marry you is to only date men who are ready to settle down and start a family. If they want to have kids they probably want to get married as well. Getting a man to marry you becomes significantly easier when you filter your dating pool down to men who are ready for children.

If you’re serious about wanting to get married, act like it! Quit dating guys who you know aren’t interested in marriage or won’t make a good husband. I know girls who care about nothing more than finding a husband. Yet what amazes me is that these girls will date douchebags who clearly have no interest in settling down.
