Women, what do you "need" from your husband?
Other then respect. We all need respect both husband and wife.

Re: Women, what do you "need" from your husband?
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.

Affection, sex, security (emotional), and protection.

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.

Re: Women, what do you "need" from your husband?
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.

Most of us only learn the hard lessons from making our own mistakes. I speak from experience.

I absolutely agree!!! That's one thing I never have to worry about. My husband is a true family man. He spends a great deal of his free time with us.
