Right from the Heart - WHAT A MAN AND A WOMAN MOST NEEDS FROM HIS/HER WIFE/HUSBAND

WHAT A MAN MOST NEEDS FROM HIS WIFE

So many wives are clueless about what their husbands need the most. They often make the mistake of thinking his greatest need is like hers - the need for romantic love. But the husband's greatest need is for respect. This is how God has wired him. So, wives, how can you live this out?

Praise him. Build him up, in a world where he often gets beaten down. Just think how much you like to hear the words, "I love you," and praise him just that much and more.

Seek to be his best friend. With his wife, he needs support, not competition. For the most part, men are not as relational and verbal as women. 

Have a willingness to follow his lead. You're kidding! In the 21st century you want me to follow his lead? Try it. You might just be pleasantly surprised.

If this makes you mad, argue with God, not me. It's from His Book. This is how you really respect your husband. When he senses these thing,. it's amazing how much he will strive to please you and respect what you have to say.

"As the church submits to Christ, 

so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything"

Ephesians 5:24

WHAT A WIFE MOST NEEDS FROM HER HUSBAND

Dr. James Dobson was asked, "Why are men so insensitive to women's needs  today?"

He answered, "I question whether men have really changed all that much. I doubt if men ever responded as women preferred. Did the farmer of a century ago came in from the fields to say, 'Tell me how it went with the kids today? No. He was as oblivious to his wife's nature then as husbands are today."

So men, if you're struggling to meet your wife's needs, the Bible gives a few tips:

1)Physical affection. Not just sex, but a tender touch which may include a few hugs through this day.

2)Security. Physical, financial and emotional ..... a wife desires security in all its forms.

3)Understanding. Listening more than telling her what to do.

4)Reassurance. Knowing you think she's beautiful, in a society of constant comparison.

5)Spiritual leadership. Not dictatorship, but servant leadership, like Christ for His church.

These are what a wife needs from her husband.

"For husbands, this means love your wives, 

just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her."

Ephesians 5:25
