Week 5- Four Basic Needs of Men/Women

Last week we covered the different needs of women and men. We split up into two groups last week and the women covered the 4 basic needs of a man:
Honor
Sex
Kindred Fellowship/ Companionship
Domestic Support

I won’t share the juicy details of what the women talked about, but rest assured men, that every lady in the class expressed her desire and commitment to meet her husband’s needs.

As for what the guys discussed, they talked about the weather, cars, and ….oh wait…that must have been a front. J They discussed the 4 basic needs of a woman:
Security
Non-Sexual Affection
Open Communication
Leadership

As a woman, I can agree that if a woman feels that she is her husband’s one and only, she is hugged and held often without leading to the bedroom (not that she won’t willingly take you there at times), lovingly talked to and genuinely listened to, and is led to the feet of Jesus by her husband, then she will be a happy wife!!! And as a Christian comic once said, “Happy wife, happy life!” LOL!!!! However, as both spouses learn to meet their spouse’s needs, we will BOTH begin to reap the benefits.

As for the husband’s point of view, I can offer only my advice to wives from my experience with my husband. When we speak honor to our husbands, they will eat it up and keep coming back for more. If we offer to meet their sexual needs with excitement (because, ladies, it is a need not a want for men), if enjoy spending time watching football just to be with our husbands (or whatever hobby he has) and are regularly having fun, and if we are creating a home in which he wants to come home to, then we are actively taking steps to win the hearts of our husbands day by day. It will only become more exciting and enticing to be married to the most wonderful man in the world (that is of course my husband…but I hope that is what you feel about yours too!)

Ok, so this Sunday, we will be discussing the topic of Finances, and if you have been married for any time at all, you know that this can create friction in your marriage. This weekend will teach us Biblical principles on which to base all of our financial decisions upon.
