Your Wife's Needs
by Gary Smalley from the book "If He Only Knew; What no woman can resist"

1. Your wife needs to feel that she is very valuable in your life, more important than your mother, your children, your friends, your secretary, and your job.
2. When your wife is stressed out and hurting, she needs to know that you are willing to share an intimate moment of comfort without demanding explanations or giving lectures.
3. She needs open or unobstructed communication.
4. She needs to be praised so she can feel a valuable part of your life.
5. She needs to know that you will defend and protect her.
6. SHe needs to know that her opinion is so valuable that you will discuss with her, and act only after carefully evaluating her advice.
7. SHe needs to share her life with you in every area - home, family, and outside interests.
8. She needs you to be the kind of man her son can follow and her daughter would want to marry.
9. She needs to be tenderly held often, just to be near you, apart from times of sexual intimacy.
