What Men and Women Need

The top five needs of husbands and wives are listed here. It's probably a good starting point to know how men and women are different in their love needs so that each can better respond to the needs of the other. If you are looking for a man to share your life with, you might want to keep the factors important to husbands in mind:

1. Unconditional Love and Acceptance
2. Sexual Intimacy
3. Companionship
4. Encouragement and Affirmation
5. Spiritual Intimacy

A wife's top five love needs are:
1. Unconditional Love and Acceptance
2. Emotional Intimacy and Communication
3. Spiritual Intimacy
4. Encouragement and Affirmation
5. Companionship

In order for a marriage or relationship to work then, it seems as if men need to pay more attention to a woman's emotional needs (big surprise) and women need to the sexual intimacy part. The crux of it is not only to pay attention to these things, but to continue to do so, throughout the relationship, to keep it alive.

Helping Yourself

Whether your goal is to marry, or to have a loving relationship, these points are worthwhile considering. He says if you wish to marry:

1. You must insist on it
2. If you find yourself in a dead end relationship, move on
3. Love yourself first
4. Commit yourself to the idea of getting married
5. Keep in shape, watch your weight and take care of your appearance. He says women who are slender have an easier time meeting men and better odds of getting married.
6. Time can be your worst enemy. Use it wisely in your search for that marrying man (or I would also say for the man you want to have a permenent loving relationship with.)

Propel Your Boat. No Wake!

Boats are not propelled by their wake (the stream of water that runs behind the boat), but by its forward motion. Don't worry about what's happened before, just keep moving ahead through our site and in your life. Happiness can be their for you too, but you have to propel yourself toward it, as surely as a boat's propeller moves it forward to where its going. I care about you and your happiness. Care enough about it yourself so you can find the happiness you want and are entitled to.
