5 Things Every Man Wants From His Wife

There is an old quote “Behind every great man is a women”.  It is true, a man’s success and happiness in life is influenced greatly by the wife in his life.   It is the way God intended.  God saw right away it was not good for man to be alone.  (Genesis 2:18)   Marriage was and is God’s idea – the union of one man with one women for life.  The two shall become one flesh and be a team for life.  (Genesis 2:24)  

Husbands and wives are to compliment one another and encourage one another.   There are things a wife wants  from her husband and there are things the husband wants and needs from his wife. Here are five things every man wants from his wife:

1.   Husbands want intimacy -sex.
I’ll start with the obvious.  Every husband wants their wife to pursue them sexually.  Men are wired not only wanting sex, but they have a need for it and only a wife is able to fully meet that need.  It’s the way God created men, and if a wife constantly denies her husband, it creates a problem that creeps  into every area of the marriage.   This is not the only thing men want, it is just one facet of marriage, but if it’s not made a consistent priority in your marriage your relationship will suffer.  

2.  Husbands want respect,
Men would rather feel unloved than inadequate and disrespected. Husbands want to know that their wives respect them both privately and publicly. Men thrive when they know that their wives trust them, admire them and believe in them.  Ephesians 5:33 explains, “The wife is to respect her husband.”  Men can be insecure.  They often feel like they aren’t cutting it in life —  not just at work, but at home, in their role as a husband and father. They may never vocalize this, but inwardly they are secretly vulnerable.  They want and need their wives respect.

3. Husbands want a peaceful home –  an inviting atmosphere
Husbands and wives both have unique responsibilities in the home, but God specifically gave women a powerful influence over the “tone” of the home.  My wife is gifted in keeping our home peaceful.   She makes our home an inviting and comfortable sanctuary for our family and those who visit.   Because of her, our home is a place I hate to leave and a place I can’t wait to get back to when I’m away! Simply do your best to make your home the favorite place to be.

4.  Husbands need/want companionship.
You should be able to say that your husband is not only your lover, but also your best friend. Staying friends and companions through the years requires that you find ways to spend time  together and to do things together.  It’s a two way street.  Husbands need to work at finding things to do with their wives.  But wives, it is more important than you may realize for you to want to be with your husband doing things he enjoys.    He wants your companionship.

5.  Husbands want a “HELP MEET”.
Genesis 2:18 says, “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”  Being a help meet does not mean just being some sort of subservient assistant.   It means one called along side to support and help.   The husband and wife are one together and the man wants his wife coming along side him, working and doing life together.   You are called by God to be his wife, not his mother and not his boss.
Ladies, you are awesome.   With your help, by the grace of God your man can be a champion for God. Proverbs 18:22 says, “The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.”  Proverbs 31:10-12 says, ” Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her . . . . She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life”  As a wife, you are uniquely qualified to fully meet your husband’s needs and cause him to “rejoice in the wife of his youth” (Proverbs 5:18).  While these are things your husband wants from you, you can being  praying for your husband to grow in his walk with the Lord and to be the Godly husband that is meeting the needs and wants you have as a woman.

Behind every great man there is definitely a GREAT WOMEN OF GOD!
