Why You Should Marry a Latina
Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so it is logical to look for someone who would make a good life partner.
But what makes someone suitable for marriage? What should you look for in potential spouses? Is it chemistry? Or is it the physical attributes that you find attractive?
Whatever you think it is, the fact is not everyone would make a good spouse, much less a spouse fit for you.
Fortunately, Latinas tend to have characteristics that make them marriage material, like being
Independent
Most Latinas grow up in families that do their own chores; that is, you rarely find their families hiring nannies. Their parents, especially their mothers, would teach them how to cook traditional recipes, do the laundry, fold clothes, clean the dishes, and everything else they needed to know to fend for themselves even before turning 10.
They even have a “special” Sunday each month wherein they have to wake up early in the morning to clean up the whole house by themselves.
Being independent means that they want you more than they need you — they will not be clingy and will not demand much of your time. And since they can take care of themselves, they will be in a better position to provide care and support whenever you need it.
Levelheaded
Although Latinas are widely known for being overly passionate individuals, they still know when to pick a fight. And that might have developed from not being allowed to talk back whenever their parents scolded them.
Well, they could, but they never do because they fear suffering from even more severe consequences if they did.
For instance, they would listen to their parents go on and on and on for days (or even weeks!) about something they have done wrong, yet they try their best to remain calm or else they might get grounded for a month.
That does not mean they never get upset, though, because they do, and you do not want to upset a Latina.
Being levelheaded means that they do not get frustrated by every minor issue — they are mature enough to manage their emotions. Their approach to handling conflicts is more about finding solutions instead of butting heads with you or leaving you with festering issues.
Thoughtful
Growing up in a collectivist society, Latinas have learned to put the needs of others over theirs. In fact, Latin families tend to prioritize teaching children to be mindful of how they treat the people around them, from their families and friends to the people they encounter in everyday life.
Being thoughtful means that they are likely compassionate and empathetic individuals. They will take the time to try and understand how you feel, which should be an ideal trait to have in a life partner.
Although not all Latinas have these three qualities, some may only have one or two of these qualities, most of them are still marriage material because of how their families raised them.
Lastly, of course, your potential love interests should not be the only ones responsible for being a good wife — you need to have these qualities too if you want to be a good spouse.
