Tim Tebow, you truly are heaven sent. Not only do you have all the physical qualities every girl desires in a man but you also embody all the qualities that God desires us to have. You make girls scream Hallelujah and get the men praying before every football game. You have set the bar high Mr. Tebow and I’m okay with that. The 6’3 hunk is a devoted Christian, amazing athlete, and just a good person. He’s the man every girl wants, the man every father wants for his daughter, and the man every mother wants her son to become. Because Mr. Tebow is so close to what we imagine the perfect specimen to be, here are a few qualities you should look for in a man (since we can’t all marry Mr. Tebow).
1. A relationship with God
As Christian woman we have all heard about the hardships that come when marrying or dating someone who doesn’t have the same values as you. So let’s nip that issue in the bud and look for men who have a growing relationship with God. As you two move closer to God you will move closer to each other. There is no reason to date someone you don’t see yourself marrying so before you start to get a crush on someone find out if they are a Christian and then as you focus on God and if it is his will you will end up right where you need to be.
2. Good relationship with his family
Family is a very important thing, you can tell a lot about the type of father and husband a man will become by looking at his family. A man with a good relationship with his family is not only super attractive, but shows you that family is something he and his family values. Watch the way his father treats his mother and vis versa, this is what he has grown up around and uses as an example for his own life. *Bonus tip; if he has a sister he will more likely be gracious about our woman issues. Because he has seen his sister go through the same things we have, he won’t have this ridiculous expectation for us to wake up with perfect makeup every morning.
3. Commitment
This is crucial. Find a man that has been a part of a team, whether it’s a sports team, a church group, etc find a man that has been a part of these groups. When you are apart of a team you learn sacrifice, compromise, how to motivate others and so much more. And when you are in a relationship you are also a team. With him having prior knowledge to what being a team member is like it will make your relationship run much smoother.
While there are other qualities that are important to find in a man (humor, humility, etc) I believe these are the most important. But don’t go out looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with, trust, and have faith that God will send you the right person at the right time. He’s got your back and his greatest gifts are worth the wait. Even though God's timing is perfect, you should be ready. Have a list of qualities that you want in a man, because if you don’t know what you want in a man you won’t realize when he is in front of you.
