6 Characteristics of a Godly Husband

Hello, ladies! Since I’ve been told people enjoyed my series, 11 Characteristics of a Godly Woman, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about godly men and their specific characteristics. So, we’ll be starting a series called 6 Characteristics of a Godly Husband.

I decided to wait until now to begin this series for a few reasons:

1. Work is an ever-present thing whispering in my ear, “stop procrastinating.”
2. I’ve been getting feedback from readers and collecting data for the blog.
3. I’ve been designing some new feature photos and emails for the blog.
4. I like to take naps.

Hey, at least I’m honest.

Some feedback I’ve gotten from friends and readers has been that “there aren’t any ‘good guys’ left.” There seems to be almost a unanimous agreement between young, single Christian women that all of the “good ones” are taken.

I have to admit, I’ve felt that way before.

But, what makes the good guys, well, “good”?

In high school, I read a blog post where the author had come up with a list of things she wanted in her future husband. They weren’t anything physical, but all spiritual and emotional, and there were no more than 5 to 10 characteristics that she thought she needed in a spouse.

I was inspired. Throughout the years, I’ve compiled multiple lists of characteristics I want in a spouse. My list has been long, short, rearranged, tear stained, crumpled, rewritten, and torn.

Through the next 6 weeks, we will go through the list of 6 characteristics of a godly husband and what the Bible says about those characteristics.

We’ve talked about the characteristics of a godly woman/wife, so I bring you 6 characteristics of a godly husband:

1. Responsible
2. Families get along
3. Loves others
4. Is a man
5. His wife is the only woman in the room
6. He loves God with every fiber of his being

Come join me as we learn together what we should look for in a husband and how God speaks the same through His Word!

God bless,

M.A.
