What does a husband most want from his wife emotionally?

Answer 1

To not make too big a deal out of things that are out of anyone's control

Answer 2

Respect.... try reading Love and respect and cracking the communication code both by emmerson eggrich of buy the cd's online at loveandrespect.com. Seriously try writing him a letter telling him about all the things you respect about him....i.e, Good husband, Good father, Takes care of you, the sweet little things he does for you....everything you can think of and watch his reaction and let that be your proof that respect is what he wants then go buy the books or cd's and bring your marriage where you never thought it could go.

Answer 3

For me, what I need from my wife emotionally is her support, love, trust, and most important, when something is bothering me, that I can talk to her about it. My wife also can tell without me saying anything that something is bothering me or if I'm having a bad day, she can tell, and when she smiles at me, it just makes me melt and cheers me up.

Answer 4

That all depends on the man. I could tell you what I want, but it probably wouldn't be what he wants. I think the most universal answer would just be stability though. Someone you could count on for whatever things are important to that person. Outside of that I think there are too many possibilities.

Answer 5

Respect. Admiration. He wants to know how what he does helps you. And if there is something you'd like him to do that would be helpful, a good man would want to know. Guys love positive feedback about what they do right. He wants your support and to know that were he goes, you are right there with him (in a figurative sense). Guys do want independence from you as well. They want to hang out with guy friends so they can talk about guy things without you there to ask about it. They want you to go out with your friends occasionally as well so they can have some space. Closeness with some space in between is good. Kahlil Gibran said this best, “But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”

Answer 6

We want the same things you want.......We want our wife to be our best friend to be there in good times and bad. To understand that we are not perfect and we will make mistakes. To tell us you love us no matter what and that you want to share your life with us....It's that simple.

Answer 7

Affection, no nagging, and laughter at his stupid jokes. It's amazing what kind of change a person can go through when his wife pays attention to him.

Answer 8

For me, it is to be stable, honest, trustworthy, responsible, and caring. However, this is one of those things where the answer will necessarily change from man to man. There is no right or wrong answer, therefore, just what is true for any particular man.

Answer 9

Acceptance, respect and admiration, and you show that through physical intimacy. Be a total horndog and he'll think you're great!

Answer 10

TO BE WANTED.

That means initiating sex.
That means not nitpicking.
That means grabbing him every now and then.
That means sitting by him even when you've got a "headache".

Answer 11

He wants your absolute and unwavering belief that no matter how wrong, stupid, idiotic, foolish, obnoxious, embarrassing or pigheaded he is, you think he's both wonderful and 100% correct at all times.

It's pretty simple, if you can stomach it.
