If you are thinking of asking your girlfriend to become your wife, there are a few things to consider first. Deciding if you’re ready to make the commitment to marriage is only half the battle. Now you must figure out if the woman in your life is the right one to devote yourself to until death do you part. It’s a complex situation, but there are a few warning signs that your girlfriend is not marriage material.
Here’s some of the most obvious hints that she’ll make a bad wife.
She’s flighty: A woman who has trouble committing to a job, a friendship or even a hairstyle might not be the best person to swear your undying loyalty to.
If she has tried numerous short-lived career paths or is constantly making new friends and dropping the old ones,
these may be indications that she’s not the kind of girl who’s in it for the long haul.
Settling down simply may not be in the cards for someone so free-spirited and fickle.
Even if she sticks around, consider the possibility that her ever-changing lifestyle could derail your own life plan as well.
Getting married means combining your lives in nearly every sense.
Give some serious thought as to whether or not she will be a good influence on your future.
She’s jealous: If your girlfriend is jealous of every girl who comes near you, putting a ring on her finger is not going to make her more secure.
Everyone gets jealous sometimes, but if you find yourself constantly having to reassure her that the other women in your life are not a threat to her, this could spell doom for a long-term commitment.
A good wife is not possessive or irrational. As long as you’re not giving her any reason to be suspicious, she should be able to keep the green-eyed monster in check.
Her sex drive doesn’t match yours: Sex is an important part of any
relationship, and the way you relate to each other physically has a big influence on whether you stay together after you say “I do.”
One sign that she might make a bad wife is if her sex drive differs wildly from yours. Whether it’s much higher or much lower than your own, her libido will have a huge effect on your happiness as a married couple.
Sex-drive issues can be the result of medical or psychological problems, so problems might come and go, but either way, it’s best to work this out before you walk down the aisle.
She doesn’t want your friends around: A girl who disapproves of you hanging out with your friends will become a wife who doesn’t want you to have your own life outside of the marriage.
Even if she’s not that fond of your buddies, she shouldn’t stand in the way of you spending time with them on your own. Provided your friends aren’t convincing you to rob banks or some other objectionable behavior, she should trust you tomake your own decisions about your friends. If she tries to restrict that now, it’ll only get worse after you say your vows.
She tries to change you: If your girlfriend is constantly nitpicking about your appearance, your behavior, your personality, your career path, your friends, and your habits, she is essentially telling you that you’re not good enough for her.
Everyone can make improvements in their lives, and a good partner should help you become a better man, but if she’s forever on your case aboutchanging one thing or another, she’s going to make a bad wife.
You also have to decide whether or not the things she’s asking you to change are reasonable or out of the question.
Can you give up your vision of a loft downtown for her desire for a house in the suburbs?
What if you’ve always wanted to be a father and she is dead-set against having children? Ask yourself how much you’re willing to give up to please her.
Not marriage material: Contrary to the wisdom of pop songs, love is not enough to make a marriage work.
Getting married means sharing your entire life with another person, so you want to make absolutely sure that she is someone you’ll be happy spending time with day in and day out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs that she will make a bad wife and avoid committing to the wrong woman.
