Earlier today, a friend and mine were discussing the components of a happy marriage. I shared with him The Best Marriage (And Leadership) Advice I Ever Received. He then proceeded to share with me a practical list of things he does to meet the basic needs of his wife. For the record, he is a Godly man and an incredible husband and father so I took note.
After receiving this list, I knew I wanted to share this gold with you as well.
The following are The 12 Basic Needs Of A Wife. The first seven provide your wife with a sense of security.
- She needs her husband to be a spiritual leader.
- She needs to know that she alone is meeting vital needs in your life.
- She needs to hear that you cherish and delight in her as a person.
- She needs your protection.
- She needs to know you are aware of her presence at all times.
- She needs quality time with you.
- She needs to see that you care about her growth and development.
- Affection (non-sexual).
- Conversation.
- Honesty & Openness.
- Financial support.
- Family commitment.
So husbands, how are you doing on this list? Practice these 12 fundamentals and you are sure to have a happy marriage and meet the basic needs of your wife.
