His Needs are not Hers

Marriage is a special relationship in which
a couple commit themselves to meeting
intimate needs of each other on an
exclusive basis. A man may have the best
intention to meet his wife’s needs but if he
thinks that her needs are similar to his, he
will fail miserably, and vice versa. In His
Needs, Her Needs, Dr. Willard F. Harley, Jr.
identified that men and women have 5
very different emotional needs.
Her needs tend to be:
1. Affection
2. Conversation
3. Honesty and Openness
4. Financial Support
5. Family Commitment
His needs tend to be:
1. Sexual Fulfilment
2. Recreational Companionship
3. Attractive Spouse
4. Domestic Support
5. Admiration
