Ditch Assumptions

Ditch Assumptions

We often make assumptions about our husband’s behavior. We take what they do personally or attach meanings that may have nothing to do with what they did or thought. We can also be very confident in our assumptions. We take pride in knowing what our husband’s real motives are. We actually believe we can mind-read, and any explanation on their part is less credible than our knowing.

Acknowledge and Enjoy His Sexual Interest

Acknowledge and Enjoy His Sexual Interest

Your husband likely has a stronger sexual drive than you. That’s because he is made that way! The part of his brain that involves sexual stimulation is 2.5 times larger than yours. Because we women have brains that allow us to multi-task more effectively, we tend to have difficulty setting aside our other responsibilities to focus on sexual engagement.

Show Respect

Show Respect

Respect is huge for guys. Studies show it’s bigger than even feeling loved. Just as he desires to be esteemed in his work setting, so your husband longs to be a competent husband. Any show of disrespect, causes him to feel put down and inadequate. When you ignore, discount, compare, correct, ridicule or demean your husband, he is hurt to the core. If he is angry or reactive, nine times out of ten, it’s likely due to feeling some level of disrespect.
