Qualities of a Good Husband

April 27, 2015 by Krsnanandini devi dasi Leave a Comment

A good, Krsna conscious husband is a good servant; He realizes that his wife, his children, his house, his money, all belong to Lord Krsna and therefore he treats them with respect, appreciation, affection and very careful stewardship.
A good husband is clean, truthful, compassionate, self-disciplined and charitable. He gives his wife his time as well as gifts. He cheerfully assists his wife with household tasks and tries to make his wife happy, (inherently understanding the old aphorism) that “when Mama is happy, everyone is happy.” A good husband is a team player and leads primarily by his example.
A good husband works hard and makes sacrifices to provide for and protect his family. Like Lord Rama, a good husband is satisfied with one wife; he doesn’t expect his wife to be like Lady Sita unless and until he is like Lord Rama.
Seeing his wife as a gift from God, a good, Krsna conscious husband takes very seriously the responsibility and privilege he has been given to protect and provide for the precious property of the Lord.
Hare Krsna!

Healthy Marriages. Happy Families. Strong ISKCON.

The GVT is a grass roots volunteer group of Krishna devotees who are mostly mental health or educational professionals. Our intention is to provide resources to support married couples and prospective couples primarily in North American ISKCON communities. However, the broader community of Vaishnavas, and anyone who is interested in spiritual married life are welcome to take advantage of the knowledge that is shared here. We want to help spiritualize your married life so that it will be an asset for your Krishna (God) consciousness. We welcome your suggestions to make this site relevant and useful.

It’s our vision that each couple has access to premarital education by qualified mentors
