In a world full of conflicting relationships, all that a good husband (as well as a good woman) wants is to have a home that's a place of refuge: free of bickering, deceit, victimization and fights.

Therefore, no husband would ever want to leave a woman who:

1. Takes care of herself

She takes care of herself both physically and emotionally. She tries to look nice, be healthy and keep her mind active.

2. Trusts in herself

She's smart enough to know that men do not support drama and insecurity.

3. Wants to grow

She doesn't get complacent, but is constantly evolving. She loves learning new things and accepting challenges.

4. Is respectable

She behaves like a lady, and expects people to treat others with respect.

5. Sticks up for herself

She doesn't tolerate being abused and humiliated. She knows she deserves nothing less than a husband who respects her and works for their family's safety and well-being.

6. Doesn't depend on anyone to be happy

She does not expect her husband to make her happy, because she knows how to be happy already. She loves life and when something makes her sad, she does not surrender. She gets back up and fights to find joy again.

7. Is honest in all circumstances

She is honest in her finances, and how she feels. She keeps her word and expect those around her to do the same.

8. Has firm convictions

She has strong religious, political and social convictions, and doesn't give them up "‹"‹to please anyone.

9. Is a great role model

She is an inspiring person, worthy of emulation. She doesn't always need to be fashionable to be beautiful. She embodies light, which is easily seen in how she treats others.

10. Has a huge heart

She can't see an abandoned animal, a hungry person or someone going through difficult times without it affecting her. She doesn't rest until she does something to help.

11. Is courageous

She struggles to defend what's right, even if she has to fight alone for it.

12. Is transparent

She likes everything out in the open to get rid of misunderstandings.

13. Is friendly

In the simplest description of her, she's a nice woman and a friend to everyone.

14. Is grateful

Rather than being sorry for not having what she wants, she's grateful for what she has.

15. Oozes charm and femininity

She manages to do this without bothering to fit the world's standards of beauty.

16. Doesn't conform to injustice

She's not silent about injustice. She doesn't gossip and would never pass on information that would hurt someone, nor does she worry about having to please people. She really wants things to be done the right way.

17. Is organized and hygienic

She tries to keep her spaces clean and organized.

18. Is peaceful

She hates fights, and does her best to be a peacemaker.

19. Trusts in the man she loves

If she sees something wrong, she will have a frank conversation, but she won't create drama that isn't there. She trusts her husband because she loves him.

Some qualities delight any good man. Obviously, no one can do each one of these things all the time, but work on the good things you're doing now and add to it. Just like any good woman with high self esteem wouldn't accept anything less than a wonderful man at her side, a good man is no fool for never wanting to lose a woman with attributes like these.
