Just like a woman would want from her husband, a man often needs love, loyalty and trust most from his wife. Alongside other qualities such as support, kindness and compatibility.
Husband wants Respect.
In a matrimonial relationship, a man expects respect and gives unconditional love to his woman. Both love and respect are essential for the soft gliding of martial life. However, for a woman, it is easier to love a man than respect him.
We all think that men are visual seekers but this belief has changed over time. It's not all about appearance now, moreover, being passionate, supportive, caring and loving are some qualities that guys look for in any woman.
Validate him.
He needs to hear from his wife that she approves of him as a man. That he represents masculinity well: he is strong, a good provider, handsome, makes you feel secure, etc. Equally important is to validate his feelings and emotions–let him know that they matter to you and that they are real.
Willard Harvey, in his book His Needs/Her Needs, states the five top needs of men in marriage. Those five needs are admiration, physical attractiveness, recreational companionship, sexual fulfillment and domestic support. The need that is often most neglected and that I want to focus on here is the need for admiration.
Men Want A Sense Of Physical Connection
It can be something as simple as a hug, holding hands, or a deep kiss. In a relationship, men and women have different needs. While women love connecting through communication and sharing their world through words, men love doing so through physical intimacy.
For men, it's honor and respect, sex, friendship with their wives, and domestic support. You don't meet those needs based on your own needs or desires but on his needs and a commitment that you're going to do that the rest of your life.
Marriage Love Needs: Mutual love is an obvious requirement to have a marriage that operates from this level. Kindness, compassion, companionship, intimacy, affection, sex (lovemaking) are also important factors here.
Men Need Love and Affection
In plain language: Men often feel most loved by the women in their lives when their partners hug them, kiss them, smile at them, and explicitly offer gratitude, praise, and words of affection. Men also feel loved and connected through sexuality, often to a greater degree than women do.
Appreciation
Appreciation is about communicating how much you value his presence and contribution, however small because it makes them feel good about his contribution and, therefore, himself. Appreciation for what they do and who they are is a very important way when it comes to how to make a man happy.
High-value men are attracted to someone highly motivated, concentrated, and has a growth mindset. To put it another way, he doesn't want his companion to stifle his progress. Rather, he'll be on the lookout for someone with whom he can share his growth.
Physical attraction, sexual compatibility, empathy, and emotional connection are key to making a man fall in love with a woman.
Men love women who are thoughtful, caring, loving, and kind. A woman who does little things for her man for no other reason other than that she loves him.
Men need respect in general but in particular when it comes to dating and relationships. Most men need a woman who appreciates them for who and what they are. Look at what he's skilled at and passionate about and be encouraging in a genuine way.
To make a man emotionally happy, you should let him know how you feel about him -- whether you love him, or just like him a whole lot. When you say goodbye to your man, let him know that you love him or that he's great, and find at least one reason to compliment him every time you hang out.
Men want to be treated in a way that doesn't diminish their egos or make them feel inadequate. They love to be praised and acknowledged for the things they do right. Above all, they like to be reminded that they are great guys who are well-loved and appreciated. Simply put, men care about the same things as women.
“A man's highest need is to feel respect, whereas a woman's highest need is to feel loved.” Marriage expert and researcher Shaunti Feldhahn came to that conclusion after studying what men really need.
Many men value intimacy in their relationships and marriage as much as they value their lives. Intimacy to a man is fully knowing your partner's likes, dislikes, weaknesses, and strengths and being intentional in considering these as you relate.
Of course, for our physical being, we desperately need air, food, water, clothes, and shelter. On a spiritual level, many people would say that we need righteousness, also known as a right-standing relationship with our Heavenly Father, more than anything else.
Men want to know that they are respected by their wives above every other person. Every man feels this internal pressure to excel. We need to be successful at least one place in our life. If we can't feel that respect in our home, we will find that somewhere else.
They want someone who's also independent. They want a woman who can support herself. Such a woman is responsible and trustworthy, because she can take care of herself just fine. Most mature men want a partner in life, and not someone who they need to feed, house, and support with money.
