Admin	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 �� Post Reply

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." I WOULD like to know what the guys think. But I understand =) And I think that telling Tulip that shows leadership! Maybe you don't need to be as unsure of yourself as it sounded like you were in your thread about confidence =) To answer the question, I think that guys want a wife like this: 1. A woman who is uninhibited and confident when making love and who is able to verbalize and/or show her physical pleasure. I think it shows a guy trust and respect when a woman can really let herself go in bed and receive the gift of her husband's body w/ gladness. 2. A woman who will initiate things in bed sometimes and bring little surprises... Like having a plate of brownies ready near the bed to hand feed hubby while having sex. Basically, a woman who can spice things up on her own and not expect her hubby to be 100% responsible for keeping things fun. 3. A woman who lets him lead and doesn't become impatient and take things over when hubby falters in this area. 4. A woman who doesn't abuse her authority of the things that hubby gives her responsibility of... such as menu planning. Just because the hubby and wife decide that the wife is the one to do the planning, shopping, and cooking, doesn't mean that the wife should be selfish in this area. 5. A woman who looks presentable and takes care of herself, yet not someone who obsesses over her appearance. 6. A woman who dresses modestly (unless she's just hanging out privately w/ hubby). I went to youth group w/ a few girl who used to dress very modestly and lecture other girls about their clothes. And now that these particular girls are married, they seem to think that it's okay to dress sexy around everything. But I don't think it is! Just because you're married and only having sex w/ your hubby, doesn't mean that it's okay to let everyone else "get a view." 7. A woman who speaks highly of her husband and does not gossip about him w/ her girlfriends/sister/mother. 8. A woman who lets him explain the logical side of things w/out getting all emotional and letting her emotions consume the conversation. 9. A woman who isn't overly dependent... meaning that she doesn't demand that she and hubby do everything together. Someone who is able to do things on her own... like lead a woman's Bible study or have a hobby or something. 10. A woman who affirms him verbally and through the written word... like leaving little love notes and things like that. Women always get so down on guys who don't give flowers and things, but I think women have the same responsibility to affirm their spouses and should do so often! 11. A woman who keeps things orderly... The house should be organized and clean... The calendar should be organized... Things should not be chaotic. Sometimes they will be, but chaotic shouldn't be a lifestyle! 12. A woman who does laundry properly. 13. A woman who cares for any children they have well and who teaches them to respect their father and encourages hubby and children to spend time together. 14. A woman who will show interest in what he likes and sometimes participate in things w/ him. 15. A woman who will give him physical affection when he's upset (not necessarily sex). That's all I can think of for now =) Post Reply

View Profile History	What's important to a man? Posted : 21 Sep, 2010 02:50 PM I really like what Rose said: "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."" That's SO true!!! When my dad would get home from work my mother would bombard him and you could just see in his eyes that he was exhausted and would hope that she would just be quiet! She would go on and on about everything that had gone wrong w/ the day (usually some issue w/ me or my brother) and then just babble on about other stuff. And if my dad wasn't very responsive (because he was tired, no doubt!), then she'd start screaming @ him!! And then she'd pout for awhile and say she was tired, and finally would start dinner @ like way after the normal dinner time. Or, rather than starting dinner, she would ask my dad to go pick up something from McDonald's or hand him the phone and tell him to call Pizza Hut. We had either pizza or fast food about 3 times a week for dinner. Post Reply

Posted : 21 Sep, 2010 04:42 PM I just thought of another one: A guy wants a woman who is teachable, meaning that if there's an area that she needs to grow in or a skill that she should learn, she allows her hubby (or someone else) teach her and doesn't get all insulted when hubby corrects her (lovingly, of course) or all bent out of shape when he mentions an area that needs growth.
