Whether you are in marriage or not, each one of us has basic survival needs in our relationships. Every wife and husband have 3 basic needs that play a crucial emotional role just like food, water and shelter do on a physical level.

However, every man is different. The unique differences might overwrite these generalizations. Therefore, I advise you as the wife to communicate with your husband to know what his basic needs are. Making the effort to have a clear picture of what he needs will help you in meeting them in the best way possible. Consequently, it will improve the vitality and health of your marriage.

Respect
Every man longs for his wife’s respect no matter what. With respect comes confidence and self-belief. We feel that indeed we are loved, and we can take on any challenge that comes our way. A wife’s respect has the ability to bring out the best in her husband. Whether your husband “deserves” it or not, never fail to respect him. It is a pure reflection of the love and commitment for your husband rather than a reflection of his inadequacies.

Support & Understanding
Your man always longs to be a better husband and dad. He strives to be a good provider and keeper to you and your kids. The least he needs from you is your support. Whenever your husband is working hard to provide for the family, show him that you appreciate his effort, and it will give him the strength to work even harder.

If he comes home empty-handed do not start whining, complaining and cursing him for being a poor husband or dad who can’t provide. On the contrary, show him you understand how hard he is working to provide, and tomorrow he will work harder not to disappoint you again. His pride is in his ability to provide (It is a sign that he is a real man).

Sex
A husband can deal with whatever comes his way if his sex life is great. Men place a lot on emphasize on sex more than what women think. It is man’s way of communicating to his beloved wife that he loves her. It helps him to connect emotionally with the one he loves and treasures. Never use this as a bait to get your way coz your man will emotionally feel detached and neglected.
