What separates GF from a wife in terms of qualities? What should I look for to confirm that GF is wife material?
Nobody knows the answer till the moment you won't need it anymore. And the answer changes from person to person.
A marriage certificate
Is she responsible? Would you trust her with a child, your bank account, your car and your home? Then the only criteria left is that she fights with your mom and admires your dad. Joking.
Simple, ask yourself if you can forgive her for her mistakes and, even though you are certain, can accept you're wrong because fighting is not worth it with the person you have made a committed life long bond with. Once you have done that, the next question is: "is this a person I could reasonably have kids with therefore tying up my life and my income to this person and those kids". Don't want kids, still check it. Otherwise what the other people said about asking the internet for validation. You either know it's right, or it's not.
Do you want to see this woman when you are on your death bed? And second: will this women be next to you when you are on your death bed with no money/assets? If answer to both Q is Yes, then she is a wife material...
Do you respect her? Do you like her and spending time with her? Do you share common interests? Can she compromise? Does she have good relationships with her family? A sense of humor? Her own interests? Being married can last a very long time so itβs important to genuinely like that person? After 31 yrs, I still miss my husband when I travel. Thereβs nobody Iβd rather spend a Friday night with watching a good movie. And he still makes me laugh.
GF - time is on your side while you decide if you want to make her your wife Wife - time is on your side while you decide if you need to get a girlfriend ππππππππ
If OP is actually serious. Honestly marriage is an act of selflessness. Youβre in it together. You do whatever you can for that other person and they do whatever they can for you. So I would say thatβs the most important thing to find in a lifelong mate. But you also have to be in a good place to get married.

I can tell you what not to look for... And that is seeking validation from others. But i guess... that won't work for you.
So good!
