10 Things A Husband Needs

I have been married for six years. I have been blessed with two parents that are pretty darn good at being married. I feel like I have learned a thing or two about being married. I know I have a lot more to learn. I decided to take a snap shot of where I am today and boldly post a list of 10 things I believe a Husband needs. I say this is a snap shot because I am curious to see how I will view this list in say ten years. I am super curious to see how those that have been married longer and are wiser than me view my thoughts.

I admit that my view on marriage is sometimes very 1955ish. I believe that women are important and in fact vital to not only family life, but the world in general. I believe that men need to respect and cherish women. I do not believe we are inferior or stupid. A lot of the ways that men looked at women needed to change, but then I think there are some basic ways that a marriage worked well back then that can be worked into today’s marriages. I really think there are some core things most men need to be really happy and when they are really happy they are really great husbands. Obviously this wouldn’t apply or work if the man didn’t love and respect you first!!

Below I have written what I believe a husband needs to be happily married. I really encourage your comments – I would LOVE to hear if you disagree or think I am stuck in the stone ages!!!
