What Men Wish Women Knew

1. Men would rather feel unloved than inadequate and disrespected. Please respect me both privately and publicly. Please believe in me and trust me. I will make mistakes, but if you are in my corner, I will go to the ends of the earth for you.

2. Men are insecure. I am secretly afraid that I am just not cutting it in life (at work, at home, with friends). No matter how confident I may appear, I have doubts. Please affirm me. It makes such a difference. As crazy as it sounds, sometimes I just need you to cheer me on.

3. Men feel the burden of being the provider for their family. Even if both of us are working and making money, I will always feel the responsibility of providing for us. It may not make sense, but the pressure will be there. Sometimes I feel trapped by this burden. You can’t fix it. Just understand it’s there.

4. Men enjoy romance, but doubt their skills to be romantic. I may not come across as romantic, but part of the reason is that I don’t think I can do it well. If I make little gestures at being romantic, please encourage me. I can get better at it. I just lack the confidence sometimes.

5. Men care that their wife is taking care of herself. I really do notice when you are trying to look good and take care of yourself. I want you to do that. It’s important to me.

6. Men want their wives to know how much they love them. I’m not always very confident in my ability to express my love for you. I really do want to show you how much I love you. (Ladies – this was the #1 answer in basically every survey)

7. A husband needs his wife’s perspective. I often think I know best, but deep down, I know I need your opinion. You notice things that I often miss.

8. Don’t nag. It doesn’t work. I know I make plenty of mistakes. Please don’t remind me or point them out repeatedly. That really crushes me. Pray for me. Let me know that we’re on the same team. I need to know you are my confidant, not my enemy.
