What do wives really want from their husbands? As a wife for almost 9 years I want much the same things as a wife as I did as a girlfriend. It is really not as hard to understand as many might think. It is pretty simple actually.

Wives want to be heard when they speak. Openly listen to what information she is sharing with you. I am not talking about a "yes dear I know you want that trash hauled out tomorrow morning". What I am talking about is a "honey how was your day?" If it was a wonderful day she wants you to be proud for her and if it was a terrible day she wants your shoulder to lean on, your ears to listen, and your hands to hand her the spoon for her double chocolate chip ice cream.

Wives want a husband who cares how she feels. Even after being married many years she still needs to hear how special she is to you. She still needs warm hugs and soft kisses. She simply wants to be needed. If she is down in the dumps take a few minutes from the great TV show you are watching to ask her if there is anything you can do to help then actually listen and try to help if she says yes.

A wife needs a feeling of security. She needs to be able to trust you to help provide for a family one day. She needs you to make her feel secure emotionally and physically. A wife wants a mature husband. She wants a husband who can help her make difficult decisions while openly communicating their feelings and needs. A man who hides what he feels is not what a wife really desires no matter how manly it may make you feel in front of the guys.

Wives need for husbands to be dependable. Just as you depend on her she needs to be able to depend on you. If she works a full time job she may need your help picking up the kids, cooking, and cleaning. She wants and needs a husband not afraid to step up to help! She also needs to be able to take a moms time out in which some cases she may have to depend on you to take this time.

The desired husband would be caring, not afraid to say and show he cares for her. She wants her husband to help her keep the love and relationship both alive and blooming. The husband who still enjoys making her smile and laugh while spending some quality time with her. A wife wants forever endless love from her husband. Her husband should not dwell on her faults but learn to deal with them or to help her better herself from them. She wants her man to have patience. Patience to wait, patience to understand, and patience to deal with her bad days.

Wives do not expect husbands to be perfect. Wives simply want the traits in a husband that they need for a happy and healthy life. They need husbands to have love, care, patience, responsibility, and desire to make the best of their lives together. All couples will have disagreements but no wife wants a husband who they are always having to constantly argue with with no understanding. She wants to be able for him to meet her half way and both of them to compromise to see eye to eye. Each partner needs to give a little to make and keep a healthy relationship. It is not all take and no give and she wants to know that her man understands that.

It is really not hard at all to understand what women want from their husbands. Provide her with comfort, love, care, and understanding and you have what she is looking for. You do not always have to be Mr. Perfect. If you understand her needs and her faults she will work to understand yours! So now is a great time to close out this What Women "REALLY" want article and go show your wife some sweet romantic loving. It won't take you long to figure out what she wants from you at all....
