5 Romantic Needs of a Wife (By😀ENNIS RAINEY)
To most women, the word romance is spelled relationship. I have spent the better part of my marriage learning and adjusting this summary of a womans romantic needs. I developed this list through observation and conversation with Barbara and other women, and through studying the Song of Solomon.
A wife has more than five romantic needs, but these are considered the top five:
1. To receive spiritual nourishment from her husband. A woman wants a man to be her protector, someone who cares not only about her security and physical needs, but also (and even more important) about her spirituality the well-being of her soul.
Pastors are no different from many men in that they, too, struggle with providing leadership in the home. One pastor told me that it is easier for him to lead his church spiritually than it is to lead his wife and family. But being a spiritual protector and advocate for your wife can be as simple as praying with and for her daily, sharing Scripture and initiating conversation on spiritual issues, and giving her some time to pursue her spiritual growth.
2. To feel safe and secure with her husband. When woman feels her husbands covenantal commitment to stay married and to love her and accept her, she feels safe to give him the gift of who she is in the marriage relationship. The Shulammite woman who was the object of Solomons passion said, I am my beloveds and my beloved is mine (Song of Solomon 6:3, NASB). She obviously had a strong sense of contentment and security.
3. To share intimate conversation. Many husbands do not realize that for our wives to consider us romantic, we first need to be a great friend and a conversationalist.
Grunts and one-word answers to questions will not cut it. Too many women do not feel that their husbands need them, and bare-bones conversation confirms their sense of low personal value. Many men who engage in romantic, deep conversations during courtship lose this talent later. Rediscover romantic conversation. Make a commitment to learn to make intimate conversation a priority with your wife.
4. To receive a tender touch and hear gentle words. There is great power in tender touch, whether it is a long, full-body hug, or a lingering kiss. Or the touch may be a gentle caress of her face that has no motive to make sexual demands but communicates, I love you, Sweetheart, and I care for you tenderly.
Gentle words have similar power. A husband needs to habitually praise and compliment his wife.
5. To feel pursued and set apart by her man. A wife wants a husband who will swoop her off her feet, carry her away to the castle, and say, Lets spend time together. Focused attention is like precious gold in a relationship.
Note:The above spices should remind men everywhere for a good and a healthy relationship
