Spouses do need to speak each others' love languages. And if support is one of your needs, then he would do well to learn this language fluently.

On the other hand it is vital each spouse also finds inner peace without expecting the other spouse to meet their every need at every opportunity given to him/her.

Unmet expectations erode relationships quite quickly. So communicate deeply about the needs and discuss what is and isn't reasonable within your marriage.

Yes, men can handle the truth - some more than others - but be understanding that a man may not see things the way women do, and the expectation of reading minds is quite an unfair proposition.
