The godly woman, who waits for a godly man (ignoring the "bad boy" types, who try to disrupt her godly agenda), reaps benefits of prosperity, and avoids the drama of poverty and abuse, which is too often the only life an ungodly man has to offer. When a woman lives by Christian principles and considers a man, who follows those same principles, she is apt to end up in a marriage that has sustaining power and purpose, for a stellar legacy. A prosperous-minded man possesses the following qualities.

- Resourceful and willing. A man's resourcefulness is beneficial for a family to prosper. A man who is resourceful will not depend on a woman to provide for him, but he will possess skills to provide for his family. A man who lacks resourcefulness can keep a family down and be frustrating in a marriage partnership. When a man is resourceful to generate income, and takes that on willingly, it generates a foundation for the family to advance.
- Compassion. A godly woman looks for a person, for life, who is genuinely compassionate and kind to all people, not just her. She doesn't want to apologize for someone’s bad behavior. A guy who is charming to you, but treats others different, is hiding his true character from you in order to get what he wants from you–a place to stay, a car to drive, etc. A person who is only kind to you, today, will turn on you tomorrow. Only consider a man for marriage who has a genuine godly compassion for all.
- Trustworthy. If a woman can’t trust a guy, the relationship (friendship) has little hope of lasting. No one likes to be conned. The moment a woman can’t trust a guy, or has suspicions that can't be justified, is the moment the relationship is over—and the moment she should move on.
- A man of God. A prosperous man fears God and honors Him. A man who ignores God, has no foundation in which to prosper. Such a man typically ends up depending on women for financial support, is inclined to abuse women, and has no loyalty to a woman, even in marriage. If a man doesn't fear God, he will deceitfully serve the Devil, in marriage. A man, who doesn't recognize Jesus Christ as God and Lord, is on a path that is an illusion of success leading to a disappointing end; he is not on a prosperous path.
- Godly Vision. A godly man connects with the true God for purpose and vision to lead his family on a prosperous path. Vision is essential to prosper, and as the head of a family, the man must seek vision from God, not from his peers, fake gods or the media. Whoever a man chooses to listens to for guidance will determine the stability and advancement of his family. A man can only get vision from God for true and lasting prosperity.

- Mild-mannered. A man who talks abrasively is not a protector, but an abuser. Abusive behavior starts when a man raises his voice ONCE to a woman, and is the signal for a woman to walk away from that friendship. A mild-mannered, easy-going guy is the only kind of man a woman ever should consider for marriage.
- Friend. A prosperous mate will be one who “has your back,” a person who will not disrespect you, damage your integrity or attack your spirit. A woman doesn’t need a mate who is out for himself, otherwise she is better off without him.
- Protector. A man needs to know the world and his surroundings, to protect his family, but he doesn’t need to be a part of shady activity in society. A man must know the world, by knowing the Word of God, in order to know the worldly dangers of life, to protect his family. A protector is a prosperous man for his family, while an abuser is a poverty-minded man, and is never marriage-material.
- A caring father. A prosperous man is a man who is present in his children's daily lives and/or is a father-figure to all children—a man who looks out for the welfare of children and is never a threat to their well-being. Any woman who doesn't care whether a father is present or not in his children's lives, doesn't care about her children, but only cares about her "motherly" image. An absentee father cannot provide the emotional support and guidance a child needs to prosper. While some mothers manage to lead their children successfully to a prosperous path, it is rare, because children naturally long for a mother and father who are present in their daily lives. A man who wants to have relations before marriage is a man who will become bitter when he creates a child, who he doesn't want to care for. A prosperous-thinker is willing to wait until after marriage to have relations, thereby creating an environment suitable for children.
- Wise, discerning & confident. Only a godly man has wisdom to lead his family to prosperity. A godly man follows God, not peers or society. A man of discernment protects his family from scams in society—financial, medical, political—by applying the Word of God. A prosperous man is his own person. On the other hand, a man who relies on friends, instead of God, unable to decide for himself, is not suitable to date, let alone marry.
