The Twilight Saga - By Jenna

Assume, for a moment, that you could think about the Twilight series' leading men from an objective, non-Bella point of view. Meaning, you'd be free of jeopardy from vicious vampires like Victoria and Jane and perhaps not subject to the forces of nature and disastrous luck (i.e., not almost run over by Tyler Crowley's van).

Now, of all of the leading men in the Twilight series, which would make the best husband?

Obviously, one choice would be Edward Cullen. Sweet, a tad over-protective, generous, and very humble, Edward Cullen's character is certainly one that any woman would be lucky to have a marriage with. Perhap Edward's most shining quality, as a character, is his ability to overlook the mistakes that you'll undoubtedly make throughout your life, and to forgive his wife for her human fallacies. He also has an appreciation and worldliness in the arts and culture.

Second, there's Jacob Black. He, too, is extremely generous with what he has - and that is love. With the promise of friendship and comfort, Jacob Black is a character that would certainly never leave his wife bored. Jacob might also see you as his only sunshine, if you're the right one, and be bound to love you infinitesimally.

Next, we have Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Compassionate, serene, and completely selfless, Dr. Cullen is one that would stay at an even keel and not over-react to any situation. If calm and reliable is a necessary trait in your spouse, Carlisle is the one to seek. Not to mention, Carlisle knows a thing or two about Europe - a plus for any travelling gal.

Or is he? Calm, indeed, could also be gained by the next potential Twilight mate - Jasper Hale. Only, the calm stemming from Jasper's existence would be yours, as he effectuates his charisma upon your very emotion.

Emmett Cullen would be a fun husband. Never dull and always apt to prove something, Emmett would be strong and loyal, and he would certainly make sure that dinner was on the table (by his bare hands if necessary - "bear" hands, rather).

Chief Charlie Swan would also make for an interesting spouse. Though he might not have time to offer, he'd certainly be able to provide earnesty and predictability. Charlie's constancy as a person makes him far from high maintenance and easy to please.

Which bring us to Mike Newton. He, too, seems to be rather constant. Mike prefers to smile and maintain that jovial wit about him, though he does have a bit of a jealous bone. Mike would also be able to help his mate to blend into the mainstream social scene as he is a dynamic addition to the popular and good-natured groups around town.

Of the side characters, there is also Eric Yorkie -  who, though a tad "overly friendly," means well and would probably go out of his way to open a door for his wife every now and then. As for Tyler Crowley, he may be a bit clumsy and disaster-prone, but when he makes a promise, he sticks to it. As for James, well, if you prefer the bad-boys who know how to find you, he's your vampire.
