My husband is such a disappointment- not only does he not meet my needs, but he also doesn’t seem to care!

Join Leah and explore whether you even know what your needs are and how to then communicate them in a way that will bring miraculous results!

Leah’s Points To Ponder:

• Getting what we want will never make us happy. We need to separate our wants from our needs because having our few deep needs met will indeed bring us happiness.
• Unmet needs create insatiable wants.
• Our mesorah(tradition) teaches that a husband desperately wants to meet his wife’s needs and make her happy. When we stop bombarding him with so many wants, he will have the emotional and physical energy to meet our needs.
• We are “want machines” who think that husbands are vending machines! Realizing there is a difference between wants and needs is the first stage in making change.
• The steps to understanding our deep wants are to:
  1. Write down everythingwe would ever want from a husband…keep on writing them!
  2. Cross out all the wantsby asking ourselves if we could be happy without it.
  3. Circle the potential needs and prioritize 3by weighing them up against each other and assessing if they are realistic expectations.
  4. Communicatethose needs in a way our husband can hear them.
• Listen in at time code 56:56 to hear whether you’re the type of person who should   definitely communicate those needs or if you definitely should not!

Try This At Home:

Make a list of wants and narrow it down to three deep needs.
