This is an Ode to a good man and the woman perceptive enough to discern him, for though he is about the best thing that might happen to you after salvation, sometimes, he is a subtle miracle…. One that could be missed!

I don’t know where you are in your journey of love, but babe, am dropping by to tell you not to give up on a good man, if you’ve found one. If you are not in a relationship, hang in there, your man is right on the way. If you are in one or even married, and you know God’s given you a truly good man, regardless of the broken places of his life, please choose to love him and stick with him… It would matter more as life comes along!
May your heart be full of light to tell when a gift has landed in your life and never to walk away from a sheer miracle!

My eyes are misty right now *sigh*… A good man is a gift only a good God can bring!

A good man is a shelter from the storm. He will shield you from the hard things of life. He will stand with you when rough times show up, he will work hard to see that he takes the blows and keeps you untouched or relatively so, when the midnight moment knocks on your door. You will need him so bad, you will be glad you said yes to him when these times show up, because they will, sweetheart, they will. He won’t turn to the other side of the bed, when he hears your gentle sob at past one a.m.

A good man is a knight in the night. On the day when the world looks bleak and despair grips your heart, he will be your answer, lift your burden and show you a better day. He might not have all you want, but he would be who you need. He will brighten your face with his smile, lighten your soul’s candle, and bring some sunshine to your darkest moments. He will make you laugh through your tears, because he is your friend!

A good man is the applause at your orchestra. When your dreams begin to take shape, small yet real, he would be beside you, believing in the unseen. He will stay awake with you, in the quiet of the night, planning and praying about that big move. He is the wind under your wings, a pat on your back and a push from behind. He won’t compete with you, or shrink in the face of your success, because you are his baby and he stands tall in his own calling.

A good man is fire in your bed. He will love you and love your body, because there is only you. He won’t ravage your womanhood like a predator, squandering your soul with selfish sex that leaves you worse than the last time. He will gather you gently into his arms and reach for your being, together into realms of intimacy where words lose their voice. He will delight in you and find your rhythm, you’d be happy it’s him you married. Every moment would be memorable….thirty years on!

A good man is a stream in a dry place. He will supply your needs and meet your desires. He will cater for you and do you good. He will lavish you with his substance, for he knows you’ll be his reflection. He will surprise you with the fine things, saving the best spoils for you his woman and draping you in his affluence… you’d be the envy of many! You would be untouched by the economy, for he will gush forth provisions season after season.

A good man is oil on your head. He will be the head of your home, a priest at your altar and prophet over your future. He is God’s son, so he will hear His Father’s voice and lead you along the best pathways for your lives. When he puts his hands over you, strength and grace will rest in your spirit. He will make your dwelling, the home of God’s presence, and he will teach you and his children the precepts of the Ancient. He will be your covering, God’s earthly minister to you!

A good man is a legacy for your offspring. He will give your children good living, show them the best of the world and be their hero through life’s audacious voyage. He will play football with his sons, go to piano classes with his daughters and they’ll never miss vacation! When the curtain closes long after, he will bequeath to them memories of his love, ideas, wealth in many currencies, great values, but most importantly a good name. He will be GOLD in their eyes.

A good man is a tickle for your dimple. He will make your days beautiful! He will make you laugh, sing your favourite songs, forgive your failures and take you just as you are. He will hold you by the waist to dinner and drive you to church on Sunday. He will be your buddy, winking at you in a crowded room. Even when things get real busy, be sure you are in his heart, and when the contract is signed, you’d play hide and seek in the bedroom!

A good man is a gift from God, if He’s brought you some guy who doesn’t seem to have it all together, yet you find he’s got a good heart…one that truly loves God and is willing to learn how to make you happy, might be nice to stick with him. Hugo Boss, Salvatore Ferragamo and Pierre Cardin…Honda Accords, Range Rovers, Prados and LR3s….fitted tee shirts, Bespoke blazers and Timberland boots…Boardroom Meetings, Presentations and Sales Target….at the end of the day, what we really want is a good man!

To every good man, with true goodness in his soul, who loves the Lord and deeply loves his woman like a covenant, my thumbs are up for you! Your babes might not get it right all the time, yet make sure you keep this love groove going… It’s the highest realm of living!
If you are a good man, from whom a woman walked away… May your loss give way to the triumph of a better and sweeter love that lasts a lifetime!

With warm smiles, plantain chips, and crazy deadlines…
Oluwadamilola..

Mschewwww Good man ko Good man ni. Sore Losers.

this is simply beautiful. Im copying it and sending to my hubby cos he's a good man.

Nice...Very good, I write too and i'm encouraged to post

Cheers

Good write-up but I hope it is just a figment of your imagination sha and should not be taken seriously because ladies of these days may paint up fantasies of abnormalities and expect a man to conform to them. My BIG question is - Do Nigerian ladies truly deserve a good man and do Nigerian men truly deserve a good lady? I presume the poster is a lady - so I would ask her if she was a male would she like to date or marry herself? Be honest!!!

My best piece of advise -

- Look inward (male or female), do you consider yourself good enough to be dated or married or you still have some bad habits you need to let go?

- Do not depend on anybody for your happiness, for your happiness is your sole responsibility.

- Do not expect too much from other people. For when you expect too much and they don't deliver, you will only be disappointed.

- Also, be good, do good and hold no grudges for it takes a fool to abandon a good person.

Is really a good one, keep it up

Dear brethren! Be courageous to know of a truth that the gift of a very good man seen by people, is of practical concluded that not the number of years man lives that can be account but achieverment. Man keeps forging ahead.

love this

Na nolywood movie b dis one

they do exist and i'm blessed to have one by my side. d OP never said a perfect man or one witout flaws so it's not fantasy but reality so men, step up ur game!

I have a good man!

A good man will do all this while his wife sits back and do nothing but enjoy it abi? how nicely selfish .
you sound religious did the good lord not say there is no good man except my father which is in heaven?
I get your point but you expect too much from the ' good man' . sounds like a movie .

nice post. Lets discuss this atwww.upnaija.com

bukatyne: they do exist and i'm blessed to have one by my side. d OP never said a perfect man or one witout flaws so it's not fantasy but reality so men, step up ur game!

Maybe whn u grow up ... We'll understand

I wonder why our ladies de claim say they get good man by their side....tomorrow them go come here sheding corocodie tears.

Aint we all happy for you. I am sure you didn't finish or understand the write up. Madam we all now know your husband is a good man with little flaws (abi?). Are you a good wife to him and will you still remain a good wife to him? Be honest with yourself!!!

stint:

I guess she is just newly married or at the early stage of marriage. You know sey new car dey shack.

My advice is this.Strive to make yourself a good man or woman.It takes determination,sacrifice,tolerance,perseverance,love,ability to say sorry,respect,swallowing your pride and maturity to be a good man/woman. But,please dont expect a perfect man/woman. Instead take a delibrate step to be that man that wil love and cherish ur lady no matter her weakness,to be her light in d dark,her cloth in the cold,her shoulder when she cries. Make a delibrate effort to show her that u are the best man in the world she could ever hope for. That wil bring great joy,happiness,satisfaction and peace in the home. Above all be faithful and committed to each other and God. Peace out
