Who Are the Marrying Kind of Men? How to Tell if Your Guy is Marriage Material
Many women wonder if “marrying kind” men even exist anymore. Are they like an extinct species? The answer is yes—they do exist! Here’s some research-backed guidance to help you spot them.
What Makes a Man Marriage Material?
Over the past few years, researchers have studied men who are likely to seek long-term relationships and marriage, versus those who tend to be commitment-phobic. Here’s what they found:
- Family background matters: Men who grew up with both biological parents are more likely to be marriage-minded.
- Spiritual or religious involvement: Married men often attend religious services regularly, whereas unmarried men attend much less frequently.
- Seeking a soulmate: The marrying kind of men are looking for emotional, sexual, and spiritual connection, and often want a partner to share responsibilities with.
Traits of Men Less Likely to Marry
Research shows men who are not marriage material are more likely to:
- Distrust women about past relationships.
- Worry excessively about divorce.
- Say they don’t want children.
- Believe singles have better sex lives than married people.
- Think that many bad marriages make marriage seem unworthy.
- Focus on having fun rather than commitment.
- Fear losing personal freedom if they marry.
What This Means for You
While not every great guy fits the complete profile of a marriage-minded man, there are clear clues to watch for:
- Positive signs: eagerness for marriage, a stable family background, spiritual or religious practice.
- Warning signs: distrust of women, fear of losing freedom, or only wanting fun without commitment.
Single dads and men with strong values can often make wonderful long-term partners—just be discerning about who truly aligns with your relationship goals.
