Mommy Mating
Moms - Does Your Guy Have What it Takes to Last in the Long Run? by Kerry Gray
Does your man have what it takes to last in the long run once?
Run your guy's qualities through these tests to see if he has what it takes.
First, your man should know what he wants. He should be able to clearly state his long and short term goals. If he is not sure what he wants to be when he grows up then he is not ready to commit to you. When he does figure it out, you might not be anywhere in his plans. If your guy hangs out with his homies all day watching video games and only has vague plans for the future, he is not ready for one with you. Do not commit.
Does he have a cheerful, optimistic outlook? A man who always sees the bright side will not be stressed out about life and will not let the little things get to him.
These guys are the ones you want for your life partner. A man's level of optimism is a big
predictor of how long you can stay together. Do you have a moody guy who's always down
and needs you to cheer him up?
Is he constantly laying around depressed and moaning about his circumstances and acts like the world owes him? Beware! Do not commit. Look for a guy who is always smiling and
who makes you laugh.
Is your man open to changing for you? Although we are told we can't change a man, the truth is that couples change each other quite a bit over time. When you are really in love you are open to examining bad habits and making changes to improve yourself for your partner. Being open to each other's interests and changing the little things that drive each other crazy indicate a maturity that predicts a good chance of staying together for the long run.
Each of you needs to have the capacity to transform, mature and grow with each other. If you do not, you will grow apart and divorce early. Do you see signs that he is not mature enough to change, or even discuss, small things? If so, he will not do it for the big things, either. Do not commit.
Is your man responsible with money? This is a big one. It is one of the top things that couples argue about, and it can make or break your relationship. You do not want to be the only one on top of the finances, and the only one worrying about money while he spends it. When the kids come along, it only gets harder if you have to be his mommy, too. Look for signs that he has his financial future under control. Are there unpaid bills laying everywhere? Credit collectors calling? Is he cheap on your dates and waits for you to pay? Stop right there and hold everything. Do not commit.
If your man can pass these tests then you have found a golden boy and a keeper. He is ready to grow old with you, and the journey should be a great adventure. Go ahead with your wedding plans, take him to the chapel, and put a ring on it!
