What's important to a man?
Posted : 21 Sep, 2010 10:44 AM

I have a question for you ladies. What do you think are some of the most important things that a man would like for his wife to do for him. I know that this can vary a lot, but in general, what do you think are some of the things that most men would feel blessed by if his wife did these things for him.



Or to put it another way, what would cause him to brag about you at the office. �No way, my wife isn�t like that. My wife loves to ��

have marital relations."

I had to come up with a way to say that nicely and in a way that won't be censored. :goofball: If television and standup comedians are any indicator, I think men want lots of physical attention from their wives. I don't think this is shallow of them, though... I mean, that is a part of marriage, and the Bible seems to emphasize it quite a bit. Neither should let the other want.

I think men also want a woman they can be proud of in front of the guys, someone their male friends will be alright with. And I definitely think women want their man's guy friends to like them, too. It always helps to have the friends for you, not against you.

�Have marital relations� � I think that one is a no brainer. But, I can tell you from listening to many divorced guys, just simply �doing your duty� isn�t going to cut it. Guys want a wife who enjoys making love to her husband. Obviously, the husband has to do his part to please his wife.



Cooking and cleaning � Well men may not expect it much these days, but they still really appreciate it when their wives do it.



Princessjoy: I was thinking more along the lines of things you could actively do for or with your husband. Not necessarily what you are willing to let him do.



Tulip: How about for right now just commenting on what the ladies say. I am sure that the women would love to know what a guy thinks, but I am more curious about what women think guys are thinking.

Okay, if I understand this, I'll give it a shot.



A home that is orderly but not necessarily spotless. A home that expresses both his personality as well as his wife's. Clean clothes don't have to be shelved or hung, but at least where he has easy access.



When he comes home, meet him at the door. (How you greet him...is between the 2 of you.) Have his favorite cold beverage waiting in the frig with a scent of supper in the air. Give him approximately 20 min. to unwind and change his "work hat" to his "family hat."



Depending on how many favorite dishes he has, make at least 1 of his favorites each week. You may serve him healthy food that he's not crazy about if he knows that you're serving it to keep him alive and healthy and not as a result of an "in your face" disagreement.



Keep meal times pleasant. Any "issues" need to be discussed early evening and not right before bed, but reserve meals for family/marriage bonding.



Pursue your own interests. Supposedly you had them before marriage and it's part of what makes you interesting to him. Maintain your personal relationship with Christ.



Do something he wants to do once in a while. Don't make it all about you.



Praise, Praise, Praise



I'll repost if I think of more later.

GodsHandiwork � Absolutely! Why bother being the leader, making decisions, providing for the family if she�s just going to put him down all the time.

Springrose � I was hoping you would give post your thoughts. You hit on two additional points.

1. Doing something he wants once in a while. I know for me, one of the most important that I am looking for in a wife a best friend. I enjoy doing just about anything, as long as I have someone to do it with. But, to me a best friend is someone who enjoys doing what I enjoy doing every once in a while. I find it kinda ironic when women say that they want to be friends first and foremost, and then only want to do the things they want to do. Not exactly my idea of being a friend.

2. Praise, praise, praise. Not false flattery, but praise and encouragement. It�s one thing when you get praise from your boss at work, or if one of your guy friends manages to admit that you might be good at something. But, there is nothing more inspiring than when your wife praises you for a job well done.
