What a husband needs from his wife in bed?

“The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality - the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband.” [1] The writer goes on to say, “Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent.” [2] However, receiving the sex a husband needs in marriage is as common a problem today as it was two ...

At the time of marriage, most men consider frequent and fulfilling sex with their wives to be one of the God-given benefits of marriage and at that moment in time, most wives agree. But as time passes, men discover that their wives don't see things quite the same way. They find that frequent sex requires negotiation for which they apparently have no skill. What to do? When a husband meets his wife's needs for affection and intimate conversation, she finds it easier to meet his need for sexual fulfillment. And the more she meets his need for sexual fulfillment, the easier it is for him to meet her emotional needs for affection and intimate conversation.

2. Recreational Companionship

In Willard Harley’s book, His Needs, Her Needs, he identifies a man’s need for a recreational companion. Harley ranked spending recreational time with his wife as the second greatest need that men have, second only to sex for the typical husband. We often put our best foot forward in the courtship which later can lead to disappointment after the “I do.” “Why don't you do this with me anymore?” is a common complaint. Harley cautions spouses that having fun together doing the things that you both like is essential to the marriage. Couples should make an effort to involve themselves in their spouses’ activities. I was thrilled when my wife (Carrie), who is not into bikes, hopped on the back of a BMW motorcycle as we rode to Hanauma Bay in Hawaii and went snorkeling together – for me, a perfect day.

3. Respect

The Scriptures say, “However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.”[3] God knew what He was talking about. Men want to know that they are respected by their wives above every other person. When a husband becomes angry with his wife, he may not come out and say, “You're disrespecting me!” But, there’s a good chance he is feeling stung by something his wife has said or done which he considers disrespectful. Every man feels an internal pressure to excel. We need to be successful at least one place in our life. If we can’t feel that respect in our home, we will find that somewhere else. Ladies, do you want to be loved unconditionally? Are you willing to respect your husband unconditionally? Chances are you probably aren’t always loveable right? Your husband probably isn’t always respectable. Do you want to be loved any less when you aren’t at your “best”? Neither does he in the area of respect. Love and respect go hand in hand.

Men want their wives to be proud of them. I know I do. When my wife tells me I’m wonderful it motivates me to achieve more. When she tells me she’s proud of me for working hard to provide for our family it makes me want to work even harder. Men want to be desirable to their wives, physically, but in other ways as well. Are we strong enough for you? Are we masculine enough for you? Do we meet your expectations as a man?

5. A Peaceful Home

I realize this is difficult especially when you have small children but men want their home to be a quiet refuge, a place where they can relax and prepare for the world. Men also want their wives to be their wife, and not their mother! Remember, nagging never accomplishes what the wife hopes it will. It may get done what you wanted done, but not with the heart or attitude you hoped to go with the action.
