"Men marry their queen,their daughter or their mother.When Subjectivity gives way to objectivity,cause is true..Men marry what they need-their queen."
.............John Ciardi

To go further in helping us discover the kind of person you should marry,i want to show you the marriageable husband and wife,using the acronym- HUSBAND AND WIFE..
The Marriageable Husband
H- Honest: The man must be honest.A man that you wish to settle down with the rest of your life must prove that he is an honest man or else you are in trouble.A dishonest man is not marriageable.Avoid getting hooked with a man who has a high tendency of telling lies,it is a wrong foundation to establish a home.
Colossians3:9 "Do not lie to one another,since you have put off the old man with his practices...
..
U-Understanding:.He must be understanding.The bible says that women are weaker vessels.It takes an understanding man to be able to deal with them.A man who lacks understanding can easily beat up his wife under little provocation..He will also get drunk and come back with excuses on why he will not be able to take care of his household..
Proverbs17:2 "The intelligent person restrains his words,and one who keeps a cool head is a man of understanding"..Also,1Peter3:7 "Husbands,in the same way,live with your wives with understanding of their weaker nature,yet showing them honor as co-heirs of the grace of life,so that your prayers will not be hindered"..
..
S -Straight Forward: A man who is not straight forward in his dealings lacks integrity and does not have a great future..He may succeed in decieving some people sometimes,but not all the time.When his wrong shady dealings are discovered,he looses confidence with people.But a person of integrity is preserved and in the long run has a great future.
Proverbs11:3 "the integrity of the upright guides them,but the perversity of the treacherous destroys them"..
..
B -Believer: The man must be a believer in God,and what God can do.When you get into marriage,there are several storms that you may need to weather through.During such trying moments,men tend to turn to God or Satan and his agents for intervention..If the person is not a believer in God and turns to the devil for help,such a marriage is headed for trouble..
Romans10:11 "Now the Scripture says,no one who believes on Him will be put to Shame..
..
A -Alright: The person must be alright by you..Beauty is the eyes of the beholder they say..Your parents might not like the person,but if you like the person,there are chances that the relationship may succeed,than when you dont like the person,but your parents do..So,any man who you want to settle down with,should be alright in your own eyez.
Song of Solomon1:16 "How handsome you are my love.How delightful! Our bed is lush with Foliage..
..
N - Networker: The man must be able to relate well with his own people and the in-laws.A man who is a good networker must possess leadership qualities and be able to influence people around positively.A good networker will instill the fear of God in his household.He has good communication and interpersonal relations skills..
Genesis18:19 "for i have chosen him so that he will command his children and his house after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just.This is how the Lord Will fulfill to Abraham what he promised him"..
..
D - Dependable: A man who is dependable is faithful and reliable.There is nothing that is as bad as getting into a relationship with a man who is not dependable;who womanizes.In the long run,marriage to a faithful man who is not rich presently is better than a relationship with a man who is rich but unfaithful.Most faithful men become rich with time.A dependable man is committed to his marriage.A man who is faithful is an asset.
Proverbs20:6 "Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness:but a faithful man who can find?"..
...
Having considered the qualities of a marriageable husband,lets look at the Marriage Wife:-...
W - Wise: She must be wise.A foolish woman will destroy instead of building.You definitely need a builder,not a destroyer for a wife..A wise woman is meek and submissive.She fears God,which is the beginning of Wisdom..
Proverbs14:1 "Every wise woman builds her house,but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands"..
..
To be continued!

I - Industrious: She must be hardworking.Converts wastes into wealth,organises the home well and has the ability of taking care of her household.This is what makes a virtous wife..
Proverbs31:13-18 "She selects wool and flax and works with willing hands.She is like the merchant ships,bringing her food from far away.She rises while it is still night and provides food for her household and portions for her servants..She evaluates a field and buys it;she plants a vineyard with her earnings.She draws on her strenght and reveals that her arms are strong.She sees that her profits are good,and her lamp never goes out at night"...
...
F - Faithful: The woman must be faithful.There are many ladies out there who are not faithful,but they are beautiful.It is better to marry a faitiful woman than to marry a beautiful woman who is unfaithful..
Proverbs31:30 "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised..
A faithful woman is a great asset to her husband,but an unfaithful woman is a disgrace to her household:
Proverbs31:11 "The heart of her husband trusts in her,and he will not lack anything good.She rewards him with good,not evil,all the days of her life"..
When you marry a beautiful and faithful wife,you are really a blessed man..
...
E - Empathy: The woman must be empathetic..She should be able to show high level of understanding and share the feelings of the husband in times of challenges of life.An empathetic woman does not abandon her when the situation is not favourable.For her,marriage is for life and not for convenience.This is the dream lady of most men.But her price is above the rubies..
Proverbs31:10 "Who can find a capable wife? She is far more precious than jewels"...
....
Having outlined the above,i hope it might be of help to you..Remember that God intends that you have an enjoyable and sweet Marriage life....one love!
