Marriage on the Rock- part 2

It's the girls turn!
Just as a man has special needs, so does a woman. A man who loves his wife and wants to build a good marriage will do his best to understand and meet his wife's needs.

Ephesians 5:25-30 Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body. but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church-for we are members of his body.

FOUR BASIC NEEDS OF A WOMAN

A: Security-it's the character of the woman's husband that makes a woman secure.
How can he provide security???
1) the reflection of the law of priority; a man must communicate that he cares for his wife more than he cares for anyone or anything. He needs to be totally committed to meeting her needs, regardless of what it costs him. Anticipate a need before she even speaks it.
2) The husband to communicate his admiration and love for his wife. Being sincere in what he communicates.
3) By communicating his faithfulness
4) By communicating his dedication to provide for the family financially. This involves praying for God's direction, being a wise money manager.

B: Nonsexual, soft touch and affection-women become more sexual when their husband kisses, caresses, and cuddles. The more connected she feels to her husband when touch doesn't always lead to sex. Don't make her feel like an object.

C: Open and honest communication-not headline news. Meaningful and real communication.

D: Need for leadership-the man to be the loving initiator at home.
How?
1)the kind of leadership a wife wants from her husband is that of a sacrificial, servant leader-a leader whose primary concerns is the uplifting and building up of his wife. This kind of leadership from a husband naturally leads to a trusting submission from his wife.
2)children-husband be the loving initiator of the children
3)romance-initiation from the husband. Get the ball rolling, make plans for her.
4)finances-well being of finances
5)spiritual-initiate praying together. Be the spiritual leader that GOD intended for you to be.

So you don't lose the intimacy with your spouse establish-DISCIPLINES, TRADITIONS, and HABITS!!!
