THE 14 NEEDS OF A WIFE
1. THE NEED TO BE PURSUED
She needs her husband to desire her, to miss her, to look for her, to hunt for her, to make advances towards her. It makes her feel treasured
2. THE NEED FOR INFORMATION
She would love for him to voluntarily give information, to be accountable to her. This gives her clarity and makes her feel involved
3. THE NEED FOR SECURITY
Security is about being certain that he is committed to her, that he has a vision that involves her. The confidence that what they have is long term
4. THE NEED FOR COMPANIONSHIP
She doesn't just want the husband-wife title, she needs a companion, a best friend. Someone to talk to about anything. Someone emotionally present
5. THE S*XUAL NEED
Yes, women have s*xual desires too. She doesn't want to be starved, to train her body to do without s*x. She needs sweet love making that services her good
6. THE NEED FOR COMPLIMENTS
She needs her beauty and attractiveness noticed and crowned by her man. It celebrates her femininity
7. THE NEED TO BE SUPPORTED
As she is his helper, she needs her dreams supported too. She needs his support in raising the children, handling challenges and finding solutions
8. THE NEED TO BE STUDIED
She loves it when he shows interest in her, when he asks loving questions to find her out. "How was your day?", "Are you OK Love?", "What happened to your arm, I notice you have a mark?", "I see these days you are learning a lot about economics, good stuff". It makes her feel important
9. THE NEED TO BE TREATED SPECIAL
She needs him to keep her as his priority. To be faithful. To call her by special names, to show honour to her, to take care of her in public and private
10. THE NEED TO BE TREATED WITH GENTLENESS
She needs him not to handle her as if she is a fellow man, but to speak to her with care
11. THE NEED TO BE THOUGHT OF
She loves it when he considers her in making decisions, when he sees something along his path and buys for her, when he does something she likes even when it is not his cup of tea
12. THE NEED TO BE PAMPERED
She loves it when she is soothed, when she is showered with affection, when she is having a bad day and he makes her smile, when she acts a bit stubborn and he wins her over with his charm
13. THE NEED TO BE ASSURED
She will have moments of doubt, of insecurities, of feeling low. She needs him to assure her how much she means to him
14. THE NEED TO BE APPRECIATED
For all the good she does, she needs him to appreciate her. It inspires her to do more and sacrifice more
