Day 178 Honoring My Husband's Emotions

This weekend was another interesting and inspiring weekend at school. Bryan was out of town while I was in school so we had a hard time connecting with times.  So I was very excited to see him and was ready to honor his emotions.  Revelation number 4 is "Men want more sex" - Your sexual desire for your husband profoundly affects his sense of well being and confidence in all areas of his life.

Per the author sex unlocks the emotions of a man and we (the wives) hold the key.  She says "Your sexual desire for your husband profoundly affects his sense of well being and confidence in all areas of his life." At the most basic level our men want to be wanted just like we want to be wanted.  When asked the question, How import is it to you to also feel sexually wanted and desired by your wife, 67% responded very important.  There were two benefits to meeting our husband emotional needs through sex.  The first one is it makes  him feel loved and desired and the second is it gives him confidence.  That was a new revelation for me.  I was not aware how demonstrating my desire increases my husband's confidence.  So I guess I could say today I am not only honoring  his emotions but I am also honoring his confidence.  And of course there's a reciprocal benefit for me as well.  I just love win/win situations.

When we do not honor our husband emotions by demonstrating our desire for them there is a direct opposite negative impact in the form of two wounds they carry.  One is they feel incredibly rejected and two it can send them into depression.  I guess that explains some episodes I have experienced.  I have come to learn that my husband has an emotional time frame when it comes to the amount of time between sessions.  After 3 days he gets cranky, after four annoyed and after five he's the other side of Jekyll and Hyde. Now I get why.  Today I am honoring my husband's emotions to keep him in balance.  Men experience a no from their wife or significant other as a no to them as they are and not just a no to sex. 

Wives of the world in what ways do you or can you honor your husband's emotions to build his confidence and help keep him out of emotional depression?  Our husband's are a tender heart hiding behind a lot of testosterone.  Show him that the desire for intimacy is on both sides of the fence.  Show your husband something different today and honor his emotions by demonstrating your desire for him.  He will love you more for it.

Blessings,

Rochelle
