What Does A Wife Want From Her Husband?
by
Angie Lewis
Besides the marriage basics of my husband caring, giving, trusting, and
respecting me, I also want to know that my husband enjoys spending
time with me, even when were not really doing anything together, but
just sitting in the same room together. I trust that he wouldn't be
uncomfortable telling me his feelings about certain issues in his
life because I want to be supportive to him.
I would like to know that my husband is comfortable in expressing to
me what's on his mind. I want to be my husband's sounding board when
he needs to get matters off his chest. Some things might be left for
the guys, and that's ok, but there are also many issues left just
for couples that I feel are sacred between a man and wife. It is
those personal or touchy issues that only husband and wife share in
because they are married.
If my husband doesn't tell me his feelings, how can I give him what
he wants and needs from me? Proper communication between couples is
so very important, especially proper communication of feelings.
I want my husband to listen to me. I need that from him. I want to
be able to express to my husband my feelings and thoughts on any
given issue or subject going on in my life without his opinion on
the matter, or without him trying to fix it, or worse yet, fix me.
Often times, I just want someone else to talk to besides the lady
friends in my life. This is what brings me balance and closeness in
my relationship with my husband. I like it when my husband just sits
and listens to me without interrupting with his own thoughts or
advice on the subject. This makes me feel connected to my husband
instead of being married to myself.
I feel good about myself and marriage when my husband takes the time
to hear me out without interjecting or trying to amend every little
issue inside of me. I usually know how to fix the problem anyway, I
just need to get it out of my system first, so I can focus more of
my positive energy on the issue at hand so I can fix it! A wife
needs a supportive husband in this arena.
If I ever do need a solution to an issue, I will ask my husband what
he thinks about it, and most of the time, ladies, his solution is
reasonable and fitting, which makes me wish I had asked for his
advice or opinion earlier. Men are natural born problem solvers, and
that is why they jump on the bandwagon every time they see something
needs fixed. I wish they would put just a little bit more effort
into their marriage because there would be far less divorce in this
country if men would put their problem solving abilities back into
their marriages!
Marriage should be an intimate connection that husband and wife
share together as a team. Have you ever noticed how some couples
seem to know how to make the most out of their marriage? They
flatter one another with their personalities and unique abilities,
and they make the most of each other's strengths, and even
weaknesses.
This is the kind of emotional connection a woman needs and wants
with her man. She wants to feel married to her husband, and all he's
got to do is listen with a sympathetic ear. In my articles, I often
call this a "labor of love" since both husband and wife work
together as a team, sharing in the tasks of marriage, which
ultimately affects the attitudes of each spouse in a positive way.
In conclusion, what nourishes a woman's soul? Besides the obvious,
which is a spiritual connection with God, I believe that a wife
wants and needs a close attachment and bond with her husband because
it gives her that feeling of sanctity and oneness in marriage, which
is very important to her.
