Life Lessons: Three Traits to Avoid when Looking for a Husband
by Gary Petty
Source: Photos.comWhen my daughters were teens I told them to be particularly aware of three traits in a boy because these traits influence what kind of man he would become.
Points to build on
1. How does he treat his parents?
Proverbs 19:26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
See All... "He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach."
Proverbs 28:24Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
See All... "Whoever robs his father or his mother, And says, 'It is no transgression,' The same is companion to a destroyer."
Proverbs 30:17The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
See All... "They eye that mocks his father, And scorns obedience to his mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it."
2. Is he cruel to animals?
Proverbs 12:10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
See All... "The righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."
3. How does he treat those whom he sees as weaker than himself?
Proverbs 14:31He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
See All... "He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy."
Application
These principles apply to any woman looking for a good husband. No matter how attractive, charming or rich a man may be, if he mistreats his parents; is cruel to animals; and oppresses those who he sees as weak he will do the same to his wife and children.
