Seven Basic Needs of a Husband

These seven basic needs are taken from an Institute in Basic Life Principles booklet. There is also one for the 7 basic needs of a wife but since my job is to focus on the needs of my husband, that is what I have been reading and *trying* to focus on lately.

1. A husband needs a wife who respects him as a man
2 .A husband needs a wife who accepts him as a leader and believes in his God-given responsibilities.
3. A husband needs a wife who will continue to develop inward and outward beauty.
4. A husband needs a wife who can lovingly appeal to him when he is going beyond his limitations and who can wisely respond to those who questions his ideas, goals, or motives.
5. A husband needs quality time to be alone with the Lord.
6. A husband needs a wife who is grateful for all he has done and is doing for her.
7. A husband needs a wife who will be praised by other people for her character and her good works.

There is so much more to this booklet than what I have written here and I certainly have a long way to go to meet the needs of my husband but this should be the desire of our hearts for our marriages, to meet our husbands needs and to honor the Lord while doing it.
