If successful relationships like love and marriage are a matter
of give and take, what things matter most from men and women? Here are
five things for each that top the list to create a great relationship!
Are you willing to try adding the numbers to arrive at a whole and
rewarding 10 together?
What Women Treasure Most in Their Man
1)
He is sensitive enough to know that loving you as you are makes a firm
statement to everyone who matters to both of you. This means never
making disparaging comments to you or anyone else about you, your
appearance, your beliefs or your performance as a partner.
2) If
he met you after you had children he would never entertain the idea of
asking you to choose between him and your children. He makes an extra
effort to make all of the family feel secure; not just securing the
family home, but secure in his love for the entire family.
3) He
is comfortable with your intellectual differences and respects your
right to have and defend a different opinion. His responses are gentle
and non-judgmental even if he disagrees.
4) He carefully notes
your financial position and offers assistance without making you feel
small for needing it. He is encouraging about the things you accomplish
with the funds you do have access to on your own, and is proud of your
ability to assume the responsibility for them.
5) He understands
that lying is a form of cheating and would never do either; he showers
you with respect as an individual and as his partner.
What Men Love From Their Woman
1.
He loves to feel appreciated; voicing your appreciation for his extra
efforts makes the excess time he spends earning his income seem
worthwhile.
2. He loves feeling like you still find him
attractive, masculine and desirable. Men still equate love with sexual
desire; letting him know he is desirable means reinforcing the fact that
you still love him.
3. He wants to feel like you are proud of his
accomplishments and his position, regardless of whether he is a ditch
digger or a rock star. Recognize that what he does is not who he is and
both are a source of pride for you.
4. Be clear when you want
something from him. Don't leave him guessing and then get angry when he
did not guess correctly. Men like bullet points in meaningful
conversations that clearly state the desired goal; then they understand
them. Don't misjudge his intentions without allowing him to explain what
he believed you wanted from him.
5. Spend quality time alone with
him and be sincere and sensitive about responding to what he says he
needs. Allowing your man to always take the back seat in his needs and
desires makes him feel unimportant, his opinions unwanted.
There
we have it! Five simple things we can incorporate into our relationship;
if both partners will make the effort, there's a good chance you will
become a perfect ten as a couple!
