If you could design a “dream partner” what qualities and characteristics would they have?
Probably loyalty, compassion, grace?
Well…Kari Boyer can tell you all about those things.
Kari Boyer, a woman from Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, has found the answer to what qualities a young woman should look for in a future husband.
Drawing from her own experiences, she wrote a post on Facebook, advising young girls who are starting to pray for a man in their lives.
So, here’s what she deems important.
First, a man’s main priorities should be his wife and children.
“Pray for the kind of man that will lay next to your future 13-year-old, on the bathroom floor, praying over her because she can’t keep a drop of water down. Pray for a man that will carry her down the stairs, to the car, and spend all night in the hospital by her side.”
These were Boyer’s exact words that accompanied a photo of her husband and 13-year-old daughter lying on the bathroom floor.
The photo was taken when their daughter was severely ill and needed as much support as possible from her parents.
Additionally, she explains how important is for her that a husband wakes up early on Sundays to get his family ready for church.
As she wrote, if he can be up at 4:30 am on a Saturday to go hunting, why not wake up at 6:30 on a Sunday to go to church?
Well, that sounds reasonable.
Boyer stresses that girls should always keep looking for “the one” until they find him.
They shouldn’t make compromises or be led to marry men who they don’t believe are “the ones” only because they are tired of waiting.
According to the woman’s post:
“No amount of waiting for a husband is worse than settling for the wrong spouse, and losing years of your life living outside of the will of God.”
And honestly, women who have lived for years in abusive relationships, or just marriages that did not make them happy, can agree that it’s worth waiting a little longer if it means that you find the right person in the end.
Boyer’s post soon became viral with 165K reactions and 254K shares.
The Facebook community and the vast majority agreed with her regarding the qualities women should look for in their future husbands.
Additionally, people in the comments started sharing their stories, trying to prove Boyer’s point.
“Wow must be why I’m still single ,hardly a man like this . Very few good men or [women],” someone wrote, while an elderly woman commented: “I found a good husband at the age of 50. We have been married for 24 years.”
This woman’s post was intended to make people reflect on their choices, and we hope it can be helpful for some young girls and boys out there.
