Don’t Do These To Your Wife

1. Don’t ignore her needs
When you ignore the most important needs of your wife over and over again, she is going to get hurt and eventually feel that you never loved her.

This feeling can degenerate to a point where she comes up with an emotional defense, and the peak of that is closing her spirit.

You see, in loving your wife, you have to do so in God’s term and her own terms and not in your own terms. This is basically because the needs of a man are miles apart from that of a woman.

So, in meeting her needs, it is often easy to interpret her needs based on your own, but it is not often so. Priorities are at variance, especially at emotional levels.

Let her communicate her needs to you, you will be amazed that what is important to her is non-issue to you!

And so, the challenge is to focus on what is insignificant to you but is a big issue for her. That is selflessness!

Her greatest needs are always towards attention and quality time!

2. Don’t make her feel stupid and dumb
When you are always insinuating that your wife is dumb and stupid, she will get hurt.

Sometimes you don’t say it, but it shows in your body language and the way you dismiss whatever she tries to suggest.

Sometimes, a husband doesn’t even want to hear her opinion. She is to be seen and not heard. That is never the plan of God for marriage. The reality is that she is your helper. Her “dumb” or “stupid” suggestions would have saved you a lot only if you had listen.

You see, she may not be logical, but she is intuitive.

You know the man you want to go into business partnership with because he has all it takes, but she will tell you by reason of intuition that the man will mess things up. She has no evidence, not precedence, but she has intuition!

Don’t ignore that intuition!
