Here is a short summary for those of you that were not able to read the book in time for our breakfast on Sunday. I hope those of you that have read the book are finding it helpful. It has really helped me thing about my relationships in healthier ways.There are seven things the book addresses in regards to men and their behaviors and forms of processing information.
1. Men need respect: Men would rather feel unloved than inadequate and disrespected.
2. Men are insecure: Despite their "in control" exterior, men often feel like imposters and are insecure that their inadequacies will be discovered.
3. Men are providers: Even if you personally made enough income to support the family's lifestyle, it would make no difference to the mental burden he feels to provide.
4. Men want sex: Your sexual desire for your husband profoundly affects his sense of well-being and confidence in all areas of life.
5. Men are visual: Even happily married men struggle with being pulled toward live and recollected images of other women.
6. Men are romantic: Actually, most men enjoy romance (sometimes in different ways)and want to be romantic - but hesitate because they doubt they can succeed.
7. Men care about looks: You don't have to be a size 3, but your man does need to see you making an effort to take care of yourself - and be will take on significant cost or inconvenience in order to support you.
Remember, these are general ideas and all of them might not apply to your husband, but they are good to know when dealing with any man in your life.
See you Sunday!!
