Are You Meeting Your Wife's Emotional Needs?

I recently read the following article from TwoOfUs.org.  It is directed to husbands and explains 5 Emotional Needs that many women have.

They include:

Affection

Conversation

Honesty and Openness

Financial Support

Family Commitment

After reading the article below, take some time to evaluate how you are fulfilling your wife's emotional needs.  Give yourself credit at what you are doing well and make a note of where you might do better.  Challenge yourself to be mindful of what you can do to better meet one or more of her needs and really try to make an effort over the next few weeks.

An important quote and reminder from this article was "You are not responsible for meeting all of your partner’s needs: 'If you are looking to a partner to make you feel worthwhile, to make you feel happy, to rescue you from a bored or unhappy life, if you are seeking someone to make you feel complete or whole -- then you have some work to do, because these are needs that are never going to be met by anyone other than yourself,' says Dennis Sugrue, PhD, Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical School."
