The Top Qualities of a Good Woman

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog on what it takes to be a good man. The emails came pouring in from guys asking me to post a blog on what it takes to be a good woman.

•A good woman freaks you out with her intelligence.   Women have the uncanny ability to cut through the fogginess of an issue and come up with a brilliant perspective. The upside for guys is that the more you hang around smart women, like my wife, the more brainy you become.

•A good woman in the eyes of her husband is drop dead gorgeous. With such a beautiful woman on your arm, you cannot help but keep your eyes on her.  There's nothing wrong with having a wife or girlfriend who's such a knock out that you often have to pinch yourself because you're so fortunate.

•A good woman is kind and compassionate to others. Though she's wise enough to see the mistakes people make that mess up their lives, a woman can still demonstrate compassion.  This causes the man to live in a world where he's got to do the right thing.  When my wife gets an idea of how we can help others, it may be the last thing I want to do at that moment. Yet once I'm on the scene in a convalescent home, it's an experience I'll never forget.

•A good woman has a sense of humor that takes you by surprise. To truly hear your wife's humorous side, you've got to listen. If you're reading the newspaper or checking out Monday Night Football, you'll miss out on some very funny things your wife may say.

•A good woman is a great listener. Women make great counselors since they listen intently when someone speaks to them.  At the same time, a woman should exercise the freedom to be honest with the person she's listening to.  She can use her abilities to be an encourager as well as to empower others to do what they want to do in life. 

•A good woman is a hard worker.  I know men work hard.  However, there are so many women across America who work hard all day and come home at night to a messy house and no dinner.  At times you have to force a woman to relax.  Take the mop out of her hand and start mopping the floor, guys.  

•A good woman will share your spiritual values. You should check out any potential mate to make sure she's on the same spiritual page.  There should exist a divine spark between the two of you.  You sense that God brought you together, you enjoy praying with one another and reading the Scriptures is not a chore or a duty, but a joy.

•A good woman has a balance of power.  She knows the power of her intelligence and does not use it to intimidate others but to share with others.  She allows the man to have his power as well. Men want to be a woman's hero.  That desire should not be squashed by a woman with a greater intellect and power, but encouraged and affirmed.

•A good woman always chooses a good man.  She is looking for someone who is honest and has integrity.  She wants to be with a man who will stay with her in both good and bad times. You don't want to be with a man who bolts once conflict arises.  You should also agree on many issues, one of them being money.  Savers should think twice before connecting with a wild spender.
