8 Qualities of a Guy Who is Marriage Material

Marriage is designed by God to reflect the relationship between God and the church—the Bride of Christ.  Thus choosing a godly mate is a foundational element of lifestyle worship for anyone choosing marriage.

Voddie Baucham reminds us of what women should be looking for in a mate, taken from the book What He Must Be: …If He Wants to Marry My Daughter. It’s also a good reminder of men of what they should be, if they desire to attract a quality woman.

1. He must be a follower of Christ.
2. He must be prepared to lead.
3. He must lead like Christ (Ephesians 5).
4. He must be committed to children.
5. He must practice the 4 P’s:  Protector, Provider, Prophet, Priest.
