32 Qualities of a Good Girlfriend

1. She is God-fearing.
A woman who reveres God and considers His will in everything she does is someone worthy to be kept. You know you can trust her because she will be hesitant to do anything bad—like cheating on you—for she honors God.

2. She is trustworthy.
Find a girl who is not only faithful in your relationship, but can be trusted in all areas. She must be honest at all times, and you know would not be divulging your secrets to anyone else–even when you are not on good terms.

3. She respects you.
She does not humiliate you in the public, calls you “stupid” or “lame” whenever you fail at something, and undermines your decisions. She should respect your values and principles even if she does not agree with them.

4. She knows how to get along with your loved ones.
Your girlfriend should not only be nice to you. She should be kind to your family and friends as well, knowing that they are part of your world too.

5. She is not insecure.
A secure girl is someone who is confident in her own skin, knows her worth, and is not envious or threatened by others’ achievements.

6. She is strong and independent.
Look for a woman who knows how to handle herself on her own. She can feed or protect herself, and does not rely on others to accomplish something.

7. She is loyal.
Even if she meets someone more handsome or successful than you, she would not be entertaining him because of her commitment to your relationship.

8. She knows how to say “sorry”.
Find a girl who knows when she is at fault and is humble enough to admit her mistakes and apologize for them.

9. She is honest with what she feels and what she thinks.
A girl who can be straightforward with what she feels and thinks is someone who knows her value. You would not have a hard time understanding her and avoiding hurting her feelings.

10. She is herself when around you.
Look for a girl who is true to herself all the time, especially when you are together. She should not pretend to be what she is not just to impress you.

11. She is someone you can be yourself with.
At the same time, find a woman with whom you do not have to pretend to be someone else.

12. She is smart.
Choose an intelligent girl over a physically attractive—but not so smart—one. You will be saved from nonsense and dull conversations, and there will be someone to help you come up with good decisions.

13. She can make you laugh.
Find a girl who has a sense of humor or, at least, knows how to make you laugh when you are down. She can light up your world.

Aside from being content with what you can offer her, a good girlfriend understands that you cannot give her all your time and attention since you have other priorities.

Find a girl who brings you healthy meals, encourages you to go on regular exercise, and makes sure you take your meds whenever you are sick.

21. She is patient with you.
The best girlfriend would not leave right away just because you fail her or because she discovers your foul attitude. She understands you are not perfect and gives you more time to mature, hoping you will eventually change.

In connection with no. 21, you are blessed if you can find a girlfriend who willingly gives you second chances. Just make sure you do not abuse her kindness.

Find a partner who can encourage you during times when everything seems to go wrong. She is someone who is optimistic and sees the bright side of every situation.

30. She is more beautiful inside than outside.
Having a head-turner girlfriend can boost your pride as a guy. However, if you are considering spending a lifetime with that woman, make sure that she is someone whose attitude you can handle.

31. She inspires you to be a better person.
A good girlfriend brings out the best in you. She can motivate you to work harder for your dreams and future, plus she should be able to help you change for the better.

32. She helps you be closer to God.
Look for a partner who will encourage you to put God at the center of your life and your relationship. The rest of these qualities would not be hard to find in her.

It would be nice to end up with your ideal girl, right? However, see to it that you are also striving to be the best man for that special woman. She deserves a good boyfriend too.

  1. The whole reason we are on Earth is to be more like Him and be the best person we can be. Having a partner who sees the same thing is important because they can help us be the best person we can be.

  2. well the text she has to be a religious person !
    it has said that its a good thing !
    why do you guys think if in todays society there is no need to believe in god?
    a lot of depressions and mental sicknesses comes from this idea that there is no god and all these thing(i mean whole life) are just accidental things !and in this way we see whole life as a pointless thing and thats make everything( life issues) worse than what they are!
    look dude ,you doesnt have to be a religious guy or believe in any prophet ! but sometimes you can sit somewhere alone (even if you were drunk!) and think about your life and think about the whole world thats the time that you can find the god in every moments in your life.

  3. I agree with Thomas! Religion definitely isn’t an aspect of a good girlfriend or relationship!

    While it can be useful if two people share the same religion (as it may bring them closer together), far too often couples are torn apart for not having the same views or any views.

  4. #32 is not that important. In today’s society, not everyone needs to believe in God.

    #1 is somewhat agreeable but not vital to a good partner.
