Women, what do you "need" from your husband?

Other then respect. We all need respect both husband and wife.

What are your specific needs to make you happy and desire your husband more?

He needs to treat me with kindness and compassion, even if he can't always understand female emotions, just knowing that he takes me seriously, expresses concern and doesn't try to tell me what or how my feelings are "wrong" is what counts - not his ability to rationalize or dismiss my concerns altogether. That is what really makes me feel loved and accepted "as is".

I need affection. My husband shows me affection nightly by sitting or laying next to me holding my hand or putting his arm around me. I love when he holds me. All I need is 1/2 hour a day of snuggling.

It makes me feel loved and secure. I feel connected with him on a deeper level now that we take the time to do this.

I need communication. This is with him looking me in the eyes and having a conversation. We work together as a team and compromise easily. We are each others best friend.

I need sex. I need sex just as much as my husband needs it, if not more. My drive is currently higher then his. I make sure I'm not pushy with this need. I don't want him to think that he has to preform. With him showing me affection, my desire is much stronger for him. It makes me feel good knowing he desires me as well.

Great thread. Subscribing and getting in learning mode.

Also, I need him to be responsible. I need him to be a man of his word. I need to really trust that when he says he'll do something, he does it. No nagging in this house because my husband is a man of his word. He's proven it time and time again.

I need love and affection (and sex), honesty and trust. But mostly I need his time and attention.

Time is so important.

I like feeling #1 on Hubs' list, even though sometimes I'm not. I still FEEL like I'm #1.

We've come a long way since the separation. I think it was a good learning place for the both of us.

He's just the sweetest man and I never appreciated that side of him. I do now...and I am reaping the benefits.
