5 Basic Needs of a Wife
By Rodney D. Robertson

Men, today I want to give you some knowledge that can give you the edge in your relationship. If you can meet these 5 basic needs of your wife, you will witness an awesome turn around in your marriage and bedroom. If you can submit to her need, she’ll submit to your lead.
#1 Need of the Wife: Affection
Women are emotionally stimulated. They need non-sexual affection. Lovemaking doesn’t just start when you go to bed at night. Lovemaking begins when you open your eyes in the morning showing your wife affection throughout the day.
Nonsexual affection: Speak kind words (verbally, texting, emailing, and greeting cards) soft touches, caressing her, holding her hands, opening the door for her, flowers, etc. Note: Find out what she likes and work it.
#2 Security
Every wife wants security. Two areas specifically are relationally and financially. She wants to know that you are present in the relationship and that you will take care of her and the children (if you have any).
#3 Conversation
We love to think things out internally; however, women love to talk things out. One thing specifically she wants to know during the conversation is that you are listening. Meaning, ask questions and every now and then nod your head and say, “That’s interesting.” (LOL)
#4 Honesty
Honesty means that everything you say must be true, not that everything true must be said. Speak the truth in love.
#5 Commitment
With commitment she wants to know that you are committed to her and the family. You are in it to win and for the long haul. Divorce is not an option.
Building lasting relationships,

5 Basic Needs of a Husband
By Rodney D. Robertson
Ladies, today I want to give you some knowledge that can give you the edge in your relationship. Men do have emotions. We just express them differently from you. Here are 5 basic needs that I want to challenge you to meet in the life of your husband.
#1 Need of the Husband: Sexual Fulfillment
Sexual fulfillment is a real need for your husband. Having sexual relations with you is his way of connecting with you. And when that need isn’t satisfied, it can open the door to sexual temptations presented by the enemy. When a good man is sexually satisfied, he goes to work happy, tension free and he isn’t looking for someone else. Why, because he got what he needs and wants at home.
#2 Respect
Aretha Franklin said it best, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me.” Respect is a big deal for your husband. When a man isn’t respected, he will not stay around. In fact, he will find reasons to work later to avoid the disrespect and mistreatment at home.
#3 Support
Your husband wants and needs your support. One is too small of a number to achieve greatness (John Maxwell). He needs your assistance, help, support, confidence, and encouragement. Be his partner and not his opponent.
#4 Friendship
He desires for you to walk with him through life moving in the same direction. He wants you to share in his passions and interests. Be his friend.
#5 Acceptance without judgment
When your husband decides to be open and honest with you, he wants to know that he will be heard and not judged. He wants to know that what he shares with you in a moment of vulnerability will not be used against him or thrown in his face 6 days or 6 months later.
Your Relationship Coach,
