The wife needs a little space. Hmmm. I have been married for many many years and there are times that I need my own time. I veg. Read. Sew. Watch a movie. Etc. There are times when it's nice to know that I am still me. Not his wife, not my kids mom, not granma. Just me. Then I come home to my family refreshed and a lot more happier. This is beneficial to us all as a family. I have had friends tell me that it isn't right to want your own space. Maybe they don't need it but some of us do. Also the one friend that got angry at me is the one who has had a FEW nervous breakdowns! Hospitalized even. I, on the other hand, have never had one.
If things at your home are more of arguing and just not getting along very well, then it might be a decision making time out for the both of you. Only you know the answer if you look into your heart.

Space. In the context of a marriage, it usually means she wants a break from the intensity of an issue or just some down time to release stress about something.
When she says it, tell her Ok. Assure her that the relationship is very important and you want the issue that is on the front burner at the moment resolved, but you respect her desire to back down from the intensity for the time being. Then go off that topic, maybe even get distracted from her altogether.
Later when things are calmer, get back to the issue. Maybe in the time you give her, you get some perspective and bring something new to the situation that helps resolve it!

She's confused about your marriage. In a dating relationship it's okay to need a little space because there's a possibility for a break up. But I don't think it's appropriate for a spouse to need space. Because she's holding something back from you. Either she's afraid to bring up the subject or she's guilty of something. Either way she needs time to think and tell you once she's figured it out. You can give her the space, but I would highly recommend gently talking to her and telling her she can confide in you whatever it is without you getting angry. That's the reason you guys got married right? That you're able to talk to each other?
You need to make it safe for her to talk to you. It means really listening to her and not get angry with whatever she has to say. I hope everything goes well for you.

It means "I need room to be me." Not just the definition of her that you operate under. It's important what context this was in....if you were trying to be intimate and she turned away and you said...."what's wrong baby" and she said I just need a little space...that's an entirely different scenario than if she goes into the other room to read and you get defensive and scared and ask her what she's doing and she says "I just need a little space".
It's very difficult to answer such a vague question with any certainty without details.
Good Luck

she means she is busy and would love to just sit and chill and rest up for a while and figure out what she needs to do for jobs / life / fun etc in her life. maybe she needs half an hour, maybe a day, maybe she needs a week, maybe she needs a month.
probably she just wants to chill and let life pass by for a short time, just to relax.
a little space is nice.
fix her a drink, say sure honey you're right, have a little space. when you're done with space come talk to me, tell me what's going on with you. then leave her be.
there is NOTHING so sexy as a man who lets you have a little space and then is still interested in what's going on with you.

It normally means that she's interested in somebody else, or have someone on the side already. She's gotten board with her normal routine and wants some thing different like most men usually do. Only, she's bet you to the punch. Do what you can to spice things up between you two before it's too late without making an issue of her request just yet.

She is not sure about something at this time. she need some space to think on it. A bit distance mentally and physically, so that she can think as what she is, not as your wife..! ! ! Better give her some space and at the same time keep watch on her. help her if she need your help

Calm down. It means that she wants a little space. If you two are around each other all of the time, she may just want some time to herself. It's okay for her to want that and it probably would make your relationship stronger.

Woo! this one could be minor or really bad. either she just can't stand you and doesn't wanna be around you anymore. or you could just be overdoing it, smothering her and she needs a lil' space. just some time to miss you and want to go for a weekend and be excited about seeing you. You all need to talk about this and you need to find out what she really means by needing "a little space"

Then maybe something may be going on with her that u need to find out. have u actually sat down with her asked her what's going for her to feel the way she feels about needing space. If u havn't then theres the first thing u need to do.
