Good Man

What is the definition of a good man? I wonder how I would have answered that question 10, 20 years ago. I don't think other people's description of what a good man is counts. As a woman, it is something you have have figure out for your own life.It is just like trying to figure out how to be a good woman. It takes time and experiences. And plenty of mistakes.

Being a provider for your family always is at the top of the list of qualities of a good man. But paying the bills is not the definition of that. A man not only thinks about the needs of today, but the growing and changing needs of the families future. Providing for your family includes security, guidance, and wisdom.

There are all kinds of thoughts on what a family should look like. Many try to choose the husband or the wife to be the head of household. In a strong stable partnership, both people have power and make decisions based on what is best for the family. There are times when mom takes control and times when daddy knows best. I don't get defensive when it come down to who is head of household. My husband is. But, I have a good man that only does what is in the best interest for the entire family. And my influence and wishes are always taken under consideration.

I cannot imagine defining a good man with out evaluating him as a parent. I am sure there are plenty good men who do not have children, but in my experiences, the real test of a good man is who he is as a dad. Where do his children take priority in his life? Has he or will he sacrifice for his kids. Does he identify his self as a father when he describes himself? Does he do actions today with purpose to influence his children's lives years down the line?

The way a man handles conflict of any kind shows his worth as well. Does he think before he speaks in anger? Does he choose to fight or flee in conflict? Can he say I am sorry if he is at fault?

No man, no human is perfect. But we all can aspire to have integrity and compassion, self awareness and the willingness to learn and grow. Perfection shouldn't be the goal.

  2. magical spells really work!! I never thought there were still honest, genuine, trustworthy and very powerful spell casters until i met the spiritual helper, MERUJA OWO. last week he did a love spell for me and it worked effectively and now he just casted another healing spell for my friend who has fibroid and family problem and now she is totally free and she is presently the happiest person on earth, she keeps thanking me all day..
    I just thought it would be good to tell the whole world about his good work and how genuine he is, i wasn't thinking i could get any help because of my past experiences with other fake casters who could not bring my husband back to me and they all promised heaven and earth and all they are able to do is ask for more money all the time until i met with this man. he does all spells, Love spells, money spells, lottery spells e.t.c i wish i can save every one who is in those casters trap right now because i went though hell thinking and hoping they could help me.i recommend MERUJA OWO for any kind of help you want.
