10 Things The Princess Bride Taught Me About My Future Husband

The Princess Bride has been an adored love story since 1973. Continually bringing tears, hope, and laughter, this movie (1987) has done it again by inspiring a list of desired traits in a future husband. Please review my list while I am in search of my own sweet Westley.

1. He should fight for me and never give up on me, despite the challenges we may face.

Prince Humperdinck: For the last time, surrender.

Westley: Death first!

2. He should have immeasurable faith in our love.

Westley: "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

3. He should believe I have the best body and always respect it.

Westley: There is a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. It would be a pity to damage yours.

4. He should speak highly of me and to me.

Miracle Max: Get back, witch.

Valerie: I'm not a witch, I'm your wife. But after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that anymore.

5. He should be a glass half full kind of guy.

Buttercup: We'll never survive.

Westley: Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

6. He should also be grounded and realistic.

Fezzik: You just shook your head... doesn't that make you happy?

Westley: My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men, and you think a little head-jiggle is supposed to make me happy?

7. He should have a sense of style.

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

Westley: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

8. He should understand that true love and romance are the greatest things... second to an MLT, of course.

Miracle Max: Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world - except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe.

9. He should love my kisses so much that nothing else matters.

The King: [after a tender kiss from Buttercup] What was that for?

Buttercup: Because you've always been so kind to me, and I'll never see you again, because I'm killing myself as soon as we reach the honeymoon suite.

The King: Won't that be nice? She kissed me! Ha!

10. He should want to serve me and make me happy.

Westley: As you wish.


So, thank you William Goldman for this wonderful story as well as giving us these 10 reminders of how a man should treat a woman.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
