I know certain men may screech, fume, or cringe at this - it's something called The Good Men Project, and it promotes honesty and fidelity (hard, right?). Looks irrelevant to a platform such as RallyPoint; but there are SO MANY divorces going around and dishonesty within the Army apropos of maintaining healthy, non-abusive monogamous relationships, I thought I should share what I was reading. A few of the men I work with talk about hating their wives, frequenting strip clubs, or have porn addictions. And I'm not judging at all, merely speculating that there are other options.

He understands the importance of communication.
Communication is the backbone of a relationship in terms of keeping both partners feeling heard and understood. Nobody can read your mind, nor should they expect you to try to read theirs. Being able to openly and honestly communicate with the person you’re committed to can make or break your relationship.
He meets the right woman.
Nobody can change a man, but someone can be the reason for a man to change. There is a famous quote that says ‘you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone,’ but the truth is that you also often don’t know what you’ve been missing until it (she) arrives.
When the right woman comes into a man’s life, a lot of things happen. Perhaps the most profound of them, though, is his recognition of something he may not have even known he wanted.
The right woman opens your eyes to all of the things that have been lacking in previous relationships. All of the amazing qualities that you didn’t even know someone could possess. The thoughtful, kindhearted, and genuine nature that makes you smile to the depths of your soul.
I believe that regardless of what phase we are in along our journeys, in the end, we all want the same thing: To be loved, adored, and wanted by someone we have the same feelings for.
I won’t go as far to say that everyone is ready for love, because they are not. I don’t think everyone wants it during their ‘party phase’ or when they are too young to truly appreciate it. But, I do think our hearts gravitate towards it. Sometimes, though, we don’t know how much our lives will improve when we find it, until we actually do.
A man will only crave attention from multiple women until he understands how much more fulfilling it is to get it from the right one.
