The Five Basic Needs of a Man
A wife makes herself irresistible to her husband by learning to meet his five
basic needs:
1. His needs for admiration and respect. She understands and appreciates his
value and achievements more than anything else. She reminds him of his
capabilities and helps him maintain his walk with God and also his
self-confidence. She is proud of her husband, not out of duty, but as an
expression of sincere admiration for the man she loves and with whom she has
chosen to share her life. (Ephesians 22:23,33)
2. His need for sexual fulfillment. She becomes an excellent sexual partner to
him. She studies her own response to recognize and understand what brings out
the best in her, then she communicates this information to her husband, and
together they learn to have a sexual relationship that both find repeatedly
satisfying and enjoyable. (Proverbs 5:15-29, Song of Solomon 4:9-5:1, I Cor
7:1-5, Hebrews 13:4)
3. His need for home support. She creates a home that offers him an atmosphere
of peace and quiet and refuge. She manages the home and care of the children.
The home is a place of rest and rejuvenation. Remember: the wife/mother is the
emotional hub of the family. (Proverbs 9:13,19:13, 21:9,19, 25:24)
4. His need for her attractiveness. She is possessed of inner and outer beauty.
She cultivates a Christ like spirit in her inner self. She keeps herself
physically fit with diet and exercise, and she wears her hair, make-up, and
clothes in a way that her husband finds attractive and tasteful. Her husband is
pleased and proud of her in public, and also in private. (Song of Solomon
1:8-10, 2:2, 6:13, 7:9, I Peter 3:1-5)
5. His need for a life companion. She develops mutual interests with her
husband. She discovers those activities her husband enjoys the most and seeks to
become proficient in them. If she learns to enjoy them, she joins him in them.
If she does not enjoy them, she encourages him to consider others that they can
enjoy together. She becomes her husband's best friend so that he repeatedly
associates her with the activities he enjoys most. (Song of Solomon 8:1-2,6)
