1. Sexual Fulfillment. Men have a strong sex drive, period. The typical wife doesn’t understand her husband’s deep need for sex any more than the typical husband understands his wife’s need for affection. Women need affection and romantic sex. Men just need sex often.

2. Recreational Companionship. He needs her to be his playmate. Spending recreational time with his wife is second only to sex for the typical husband. It is important to find activities that you both enjoy.

3. An Attractive Spouse. He needs a good-looking wife. When she looks good, he feels good. Attractiveness is what you do with what you have. The wife needs to watch her weight, use makeup to her best advantage, get hairstyles he likes, and dress to be attractive to and for your husband.
