Many people believe that love is blind and it conquers all. Because when you find love, you think you’ve found the ideal partner to spend the rest of your life with. You start to envision your life with them, and it’s full of rainbows and sparkles. However, when it comes to marriage, there is a lot more at stake. Besides finding someone who understands, loves, and respects you, they need to support you, be independent, responsible and be compatible with you. Choosing a life partner is not an easy task because it requires more than just being in love. Here are 7 signs that show you’ve found the ideal partner:
1. He Takes Up Responsibility Without You Having To Tell Him What To Do

Most men take up responsibility, but they have to be told what to do and when to do it. If your husband doesn’t need to be reminded of the daily tasks at hand, you know you’ve found a gem. You don’t want to feel like his mother, who tells him what to do and nag him daily. An ideal husband is someone who can identify what needs to be done and get it done.
2. He Cooks Without Making A Big Deal Of It

Most men who know how to cook are super proud because they feel like they can do something great. But it’s a life skill that every person should develop, irrespective of gender. If a man can cook, they don’t need to be applauded for it. However, if your husband cooks and goes about his day, you know he’s been raised right.
3. He Supports You Even If You’ve Made A Mistake

A partner is supposed to stand by you in good times and in bad. You will need their support the most when you’ve messed up or made a mistake, and a good partner supports you throughout. It’s human to make mistakes, and your partner should back you instead of blaming you.

An ideal husband would be your pillar of strength when you face difficulties and not be afraid to show his weakness when he needs your support. Every marriage has its share of ups and downs. However, a happy marriage is one where both of you fight together against the problem, rather than with each other.
5. He Knows How To Make Your Smile

When you’re having a bad day, all you want is for someone to “get” you. A partner who knows how to make you smile when your spirits are low is the best kind. They don’t have to do something extraordinary, but a small, thoughtful gesture may turn your day around. It could be as simple as him cooking your favorite meal and cuddling up to watch a movie together.
6. He Doesn’t Let His Ego Get In The Way

A healthy marriage requires mutual commitment, compromise, and understanding. Your husband should not be afraid to admit that he’s wrong. Whether he spoke to you rudely, refused to pitch in with the household chores, or ignored your needs, he should be able to apologize for it. Everyone makes mistakes, and that includes your partner. He should be able to keep his ego aside and compromise when needed. It’s a two-person relationship, and you shouldn’t have to take all the burden.
7. He Values Your Opinion

Your relationship is not only about living together and sharing chores, finances, and romances. You have to help each other grow as individuals and share your life together. You have to become each other’s friends, support system, and advisers. Big decisions have to be made together, and your opinions should matter to each other.
Marriage is a commitment. It is work, and it requires everyday effort and dedication. If you’ve found a partner who has all the above qualities, consider yourself lucky. It’s not every day that women see all of this in their husbands. If not, you can always talk to them and help nourish your relationship. Do you agree with this article?
