I have heard some men state that part of dating is determining if a woman is marriage material. The men who want a wife seem to know if the women they meet exhibit qualities a wife should have. Generally speaking, I think women also view romantic prospects through a husband-father prism.

So how would you determine if someone is marriage material? I’ve heard one man say her alcohol intake, amount of partying, and cooking skills lets him know a lot. Women probably don’t even realize the level of scrutiny they are under during dating!

What if a woman isn’t interested in marriage, does that knock her out of marriage material by definition? Should women be that concerned with being viewed as marriage material?

Guys, do you ever think about whether or not you are seen as being marriage material?
