[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is a good husband and I'll list some of the thing that stuck out to me when we were dating that go above the obvious (like kindness, sexual compatibility, etc)

- Enjoys cooking 
- Got excited about showing me updates to his apartment 
- Genuinely wanted my opinion about things.  We talked about his job, family, issues with friends, life in general
- Would let me talk about issues with my job or family without trying to fix it.  Knew when I just needed to vent and when I needed his opinions 
 - Made an effort to become friends with my friends and family 
 - Was very supportive when my dad got seriously ill 
- Honest.  We talked about everything.  There were no secrets 
 - Took pride in his own things and kept his apartment clean. 
- Supported me through a job crisis and then career change.  He has always respected me and been my cheerleader[/quote]

Communication, communication, communication.  See how his birth family behaves around each other.   If they lack communication, it shows you what he has been raised around.  If there is a chauvinistic taint, or there is a pecking order or favoritism, do not expect that to change. If his family still thinks he is a small child, and that they are the dictators, run - that will not change. Also make sure he has good friends - it does not have to be a large number, but it has to be the kind that has decent values (same as you), and would not steer him wrong or be jealous of him marrying. It should be the kind of friends (and family) that would defend you both, as a couple (not try to get dirt that does not exist). If his family believes *stated or not) that voicing emotions is the same as "complaining", if women are not meant to have a voice - run. [/quote]
