Happy Wife, Happy Life
A “happy wife = a happy life”. Simple but powerful statement. In my experience, life is pleasant when wife is happy and pleased. The sting of a scorned woman, or unhappy wife is not only awful, in some situation, it lasts a lifetime.
Man and woman are wired differently, and if man will recognize a woman’s unique needs, and attempt to meet them, there will be fewer problems in marriage. You may say, “but woman should also understand men and attempt to meet his unique needs”, I agree 101%. But to avoid the chicken and egg question, the “man” being the head in a relationship and family, should take the initiative and lead.
What are woman’s needs?
Every woman are different so his man should exert considerable effort to understand her. But let me share with you at least three generic needs.
- The need for a nest
- The need for affection
- The need for a leader
Every woman would love to have a place where she can call home. This is one source of her security. So her man’s priority is to secure their own nesting place, and the best way to do this is to let her be in charge of this project (in the same way she’s in charge of the wedding).
The 2nd one I find baduy and corny, but that’s life. To me, just knowing my wife love me and chose to stick with me for 17 years (and counting) is already satisfying. But women are different, even though you and your woman are living under one roof, they need to be assured of your love. Whispering I love you from time to time, asking her for a date and cooking dinner for her once in a while will do. Yaay!
The third one may be debatable. Because there are woman who wants to be in charge of her life and destiny. But in my opinion, no matter how tough a woman is, deep inside, they need a man who will lead them, or to share the leadership with :-D.
Behind the rise and fall of a man, is woman. And making our woman happy and pleased in the biblical sense will cause them to submit and follow our lead. She’ll be on our side even at the lowest point of our life. She’ll continue to believe and even spur us to continue and not give up.
