Why doesn’t my husband ever fulfil my needs? Does he even want to?

Join Leah and understand how to experience that warm, fuzzy feeling of finally get your needs met!

Leah’s Points To Ponder:

• A man’s deepest pleasure is fulfilling his wife’s needs and for her to feel taken care of.
• It is so easy to know our wants, but knowing our needs takes internal introspection. We need to make a list of all our wants and needs and cross out one at a time until only the deepest needs are left.
• As we go through the list, we may need to ask ourselves: “Is this one realistic?”
• Our expectations of our husbands can be astronomically high; it’s worth asking ourselves each day: “If there is one thing I need from my husband today, what would it be?”
• It’s possible that our husband is giving but we are not receiving sufficiently. When we receive positively and say “thank you” to all his efforts, his motivation to give will increase.
• Crossing our wants off our list means there are less demands on our husband and he is driven to fully focus on fulfilling our needs.
• The less needs we have on our list the more our husband can satisfy them and the closer we’ll be.
• Respect is granted, not earned. We need to respect our husbands regardless and he will become more respectable, which in turn will trickle into his desire to please us.
• Hashem would not give us a husband who can’t meet our needs. Either we have misunderstood our need, or we are not giving him a fair chance at it and we need to communicate the need better.

Try This At Home:

Try to narrow down your needs by asking yourself once: “If there is one thing I need from my husband today, what would it be?”
