5 truths about men

[Just Plain Ruff]

This was forwarded on to me from a close friend. I think these are really true.

As 2010 comes to a close, it’s an ideal time to reflect on how strong your relationship is and how you can make it even better in 2011. One of the best ways to build a stronger bond with your husband is to understand how your man really thinks and feels. And he should do the same for you. After interviewing more than a thousand men, researchers uncovered these 5 truths about men. So ladies, here’s what your guy would like you to know but would have a hard time telling you.

MEN WOULD RATHER FEEL UNLOVED THAN DISRESPECTED. A huge thing for guys is to feel that their wives respect them publicly and privately. Men thrive when they know that their wives trust them, admire them and believe in them. The research indicated that men would rather sense the loss of loving feelings from their wives than be disrespected by them.

OFTEN, A MAN’S ANGER IS A RESPONSE TO FEELING DISRESPECTED BY HIS WIFE. He may not come out and say it, but if he’s upset, he’s probably feeling stung by something his wife has done which he considers disrespectful or humiliating. Maybe she spoke down to him in front of family or friends. Whatever the argument is, try to see where respect, or a lack of it, may fit in. That’ll be your key to solving the issue.

MEN ARE AFRAID THEY’RE NOT CUTTING IT IN LIFE. Not just at work, but at home, and in their role as husband. The antidote? Affirmation. Affirmation isn’t just flattery. Its feeling validated. When a man feels that his wife is on his side, he’s much more confident in every area of his life.

MEN FEEL THE BURDEN TO BE THE FAMILY PROVIDER and that’s the case whether the wife earns more or not. That expectation can make them feel stressed, because it’s been hard-wired into them over centuries. It’s also an emotional burden. So, the best thing a woman can do is show appreciation, and be encouraging and supportive.

MEN REALLY DO LOVE THEIR WIVES. The vast majority of men really do appreciate the companionship, the kindness, the laughter, the nurturing, and the cooking. They just aren’t very good at TELLING you about their feelings.

Keep these 5 truths in mind when interacting with your sweetie, especially when discussing items of conflict. Focus on showing respect, appreciation and support for the man he is and who he strives to be. In doing so, you will be doing your part to create the loving, happy relationship you both deserve
