Gallery: Is He Marriage Material? If He Has These Traits, He Is!

We’re gonna be real with you. If you want to get married, you need to be clear about that before even getting into a relationship. Through our own trial and error and listening to some of the stories of other women, we realize that a lot of us end up wasting a TON of time because we get emotionally and physically invested in men who are attractive, smart, ambitious, fun and sexy. But guess what else they are? Not interested in getting married.

Yeah, a huge mistake that a lot of us make is assuming that just because someone is feeling us, just because they might even be open in having an exclusive relationship, that doesn’t necessarily mean they see wedding bands and broom jumping in their near---or far off---future. A few dates in, it’s perfectly fine (encouraged even) to make it known that being a wife is something that you desire. Maybe not immediately, but certainly eventually.

If he’s down, cool. If he’s not, it’s time to put him in the “friend file” and keep it pushin’.

Aside from him saying that he’s interesting in getting married, how else can you know that he’s marriage material? These are the traits that we recommend you be on the lookout for.
