Marriage: Husband qualities?

There are important things that married couples I know say helped them in their first years of marriage. You are adapting to one another and learning more than you ever did though dating. It helps when you are both mature and good communicators. My friend Chris said a man should possess certain “husband” qualities too.

Chris told me that until he got married, he didn’t know how important it was to be humble. Admitting when he was wrong was not something he was used to. He thinks his ego and pride had to get checked. I wondered if men developed more qualities after they got married out necessity?

Do you think having “good” husband qualities comes after time? How can women know if the men they are dating will make good husbands or life partners?
