What He Essentially Needs From His Wife

• Biblical Submission

Col. 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

• Acceptance of his Male-ness
• Respect

Ephesians 5:33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

• Completion from his partner

Behind a successful man is a great woman

Gen. 2:23b-24 she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

• Intimacy

Sexual Sizzle with relational support

Song of Solomon 8:10 (NIV)

I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment.

 

What he does not need

• Female Chauvinism

Rolling your eyes and saying, that s just like a man

Telling jokes that put men down

Dishonoring husbands by scorning their needs

Treating husbands as if they were your children

Trying to control your husband

Believing that women are really superior to men

Joining in on a lets complain about men gab session

Discrediting husbands decisions, dreams and masculinity

Criticizing your husband in front of children and friends

Not speaking constructive criticism to a husband in private and in love

And, from little girls, Girls rule, boys drool.
