MEN AND WOMEN ARE AT AN EMOTIONAL STALEMATE.
We feel something’s lacking in our
relationships. The majority of men aren’t able to penetrate their women fully,
nor are women fully opening to their men.
Women aren’t opening because men aren’t
giving them what they need. Women feel disappointed and resentful; they are suffering.
When women suffer, and they feel like they aren’t being seen, they close off to
their men.
Take the time to read through these
needs. Let them sink in. Understanding what you can do to help your partner
fully open will not only improve your relationship, but it will improve your
entire life.
Here are the seven things that all
women want in a relationship.
1.
To Feel Loved
When women feel loved, they relax and
open to us. The arguments dissipate, the sex is abundant, and their nurturing
feminine energy flows throughout our lives.
Not feeling loved is the subtext of
every argument that you and your partner have.
If she is unhappy that you are going
out with your friends, or she’s upset about her day at work, or she is only
responding to you with brief snippets of sentences, then the cause is most
likely her not feeling loved enough.
Learn to see through her words,
actions, and moods and see what the real root
of it is.
2.
To Feel Safe
There is a war being waged on women’s
self-esteem, sexuality, and safety from a very young age. Because of the
barrage of disempowering messages being sent to women regarding their
sexuality, women need to have a safe space where they feel that they can trust
their partners.
She wants to trust your strength. She
wants to feel like you can handle whatever she shows you.
She wants to feel like you will not
judge her if she asks for something risqué. She wants to know you won’t
collapse in defeat if she tells you to do it “This way” instead.
By creating a safe space for your woman
to open up to you emotionally and sexually, you will be giving her a very
powerful gift- you allow her to grow within your relationship and undo old
emotional damage.
3.
To Feel Seen
Women want to feel seen. She wants to
feel you hearing her, and being aware of her emotional state. She doesn’t
necessarily want you to be affected by her emotional state, but she does want
you to be witness to it.
If she is sitting across the room from
you and you aren’t picking up on the fact that she is suffering emotionally and
on the verge of tears, she will begin to trust you less. She will think, “If he
can’t see that I am hurting now, how long will it take him to figure it out?
Will I be suffering for days or weeks before he is aware of it or cares enough
to help me through this? I guess I have to rely on myself for my own emotional
support.”
Life can seem extremely lonely, even
within a relationship. You have to constantly show your partner that at least
one person will be witness to her and her journey through life. (Hint: that
person is you.)
4.
To Be Allowed To Be Nurturing
Just as masculine energy has the need
to protect, feminine energy has the desire to nurture.
Women want to see the cracks in our
armour. They want to see that we trust them enough to open up to them. They
want to be able to help us through our sadness.
An integrated, evolved man who has a
balanced masculine energy as well as his own sliver of feminine would welcome
his woman’s nurturing.
If you are a guy reading this, have you
ever held open a door for a woman because it’s the polite thing to do (but more
just because she’s a person and it wasn’t even a gender-based act) and she
chews your ear off for it? “Oh what? I can’t open the door for myself because
I’m a woman?! You sexist pig!”
That is an example of a wounded,
unbalanced woman who doesn’t want to accept help from a masculine source. This
is exactly how it feels to your partner when you push her away when you feel
the most vulnerable. “I don’t need to lay my head down on your chest and tell
you about my feelings because I don’t have any!” That is a lie. It’s a lie that
serves your purpose of not letting your partner in. This lack of vulnerability
and authenticity is what is making you and your partner suffer.
5.
To Feel Sexually Desired
What’s a major difference between your
relationship to your partner and your relationship to everyone else in your
life? You have sex with your partner.
Women need to feel sexually desired. They
want to make sure that you see and appreciate them as a feminine, sexual being.
Praise her body. Feel her and grab her
appreciatively. Remind her that you see her as a sexual being and you will both
benefit.
6.
To Be Appreciated
The feminine in all people responds
primarily to praise and appreciation.
Remind your partner that you love her.
Tell her that you appreciate what she brings to your life. Show her how much
she means to you.
The fastest way to run your
relationship into the ground is by ignoring your partner and taking her for
granted. Appreciation is the opposite of those things. Appreciation is the
embodying this mindset: “I am aware of what you bring to my life, and I want
you to be sure that I am aware of it as well.” So tell her what you appreciate,
and tell her often.
7.
To Feel Like She Can Count On You
Life gets pretty messy sometimes.
When life’s unavoidable difficulties
arise, do you fall apart under pressure or are you able to bend and not break?
Women want to know that we can handle
ourselves when life happens. They want to know that we won’t run and hide when
they get a bit ‘too emotional’ for our liking. They want to know that they can
count on us.
When you tell your partner you’ll do
something, and then you don’t do it, it hurts her. She loses a piece of trust
in you that has to be earned back. Even seemingly small things break that trust
like you saying that you will wash the dishes shortly after dinner, but washing
them the next morning instead.
When enough small transgressions like
this are sprinkled throughout your relationship, she will distrust you.
Do what you say you will do, be who you
say you are, and be consistent in your actions.
What
Do Women Need In A Relationship?
Women want partners that care. Women
don’t want perfect partners; they want men who are striving
to be their best selves.
She doesn’t necessarily want someone
who has every step of his life pre-planned, but she wants someone with drive
and with goals.
She doesn’t necessarily want someone
who cries every day, but she does want someone who has the courage to cry in
front of her when he needs to.
She doesn’t necessarily want someone
who stays in therapy for his entire life, but she does want someone who has the
courage to face his own emotional demons.
So put in the work. End the stalemate.
Decide that you want to be in the kind of relationship that most people don’t
have and you want to put in the effort necessary to become that kind of man.
The women of the world are waiting for
us. And they want us to step up just as badly as we want them to open up.
