When looking for someone to spend your life with, most people may have some sort of idea for what they want in a person. Usually, you’re looking for traits that fit with your lifestyle and values. One make or break viewpoint is the wanting a family. It’s easy to look at a potential partner and think if he wants a family in the future that’s all you need to know determine his potential to be a family man. However, there are specific traits he can show now to clue you into his and your future.

He’s financially responsible

Does he just splurge on anything and everything or does he stop to think before making any purchase, especially large ones? Does he try to set himself up for a secure future or live for the moment? Is he practical or erratic? When choosing a partner to start a family with, you’ll want someone who thinks of finances in terms outside of his own well being because when you have a family it isn’t just him anymore.


Shows kindness and compassion to others

You want a man who can be respectful and kind to a0nyone he meets. He tips well and doesn’t get upset easily with the customer service representative on the other end of the line. He opens doors for strangers and helps those who ask and don’t ask for help. If he can show kindness and support to strangers, just imagine how he will be with his own family.

He’s passionate about issues

He truly cares for and stands up for things that are near and dear to his heart. He isn’t easily swayed by the social norm but sticks to his guns. Knowing he feels this way about his beliefs is a good sign that he’ll feel this way about his family. He’ll stand up for them and fight for them no matter the situation.

He’s a hard worker

Not just in his line of work but around the home and in normal day to day living. He takes care of things and just does what needs to be done. With a family comes work but knowing you chose a partner who isn’t afraid to put in the time will make things a whole lot smoother.

He’s willing to learn new things

He isn’t scared to admit he’s wrong and is open to understanding and learning different sides of things. He does research and teaches himself how to do something he wants to get done. Having a family is a constant learning curve so having a partner who is willing to learn and grow with you on this journey will only strengthen your relationship.


He’s good with kids

Nothing melts a woman’s heart more than watching their significant other play with and interact with children, at least that’s the case for me. Seeing how gentle, caring and playful they are with other people’s children can reassure you he’ll be even better with his own.

When searching for your family man make sure you think outside the box. Engage in a deeper conversation other than just if you both want kids. Make sure to pay attention to different qualities that could play a role in him as a parent. Finding the right person is more than just a fit for you but a fit for your potential family as well.
