This is another important aspect that women sometimes overlook.
What men want is a woman who listens.
It's so often said that the man should be the one who listens in the relationship.
This seems to have arisen by default, since women are generally the ones who talk more.
In the rare event that we do talk, we do so because we want to be heard, and no by just anyone, but by you.
So many times, I wished that my wife would listen to what I have to say, but she was too absorbed in her own story.
We could sometimes be telling you something important, like our relationship.
Here's how to be a better listener, as a wife.
My wife comes home from work and some days, she's just unbearable.
She rants on and on about someone at work who was getting on her nerves.
After a while, I just switch off.
It's not that I don't care, it's just that she has nothing important to say.
In a way, she's more so talking at the air to vent.
Having someone there isn't important, since she won't listen to a word I say when she's in that mood.
If either party is ranting, this is something that people just have to weather out.
It will pass sooner or later, but while they're ranting they're unlikely to listen.
What I'm talking about in particular is of course the times when the husband and wife are calm.
We listen to you talk about whatever you want; these are the things that men would love if their women paid more attention to them if they talked about it: · Spending time apart (for the benefit of the relationship, not to break up), · Exercising together (us guys like to keep fit, in general.
We would love it if you guys would exercise with us.
Keeps us fit and busy!) · Money (this is something that all couples have to talk about eventually.
If the husband pays the bills, listen to him.
Without him, you've got no hot water.
) There's a lot more things, but us guys don't like repeating ourselves.
We'll say whatever we have to say once.
Whatever it is, it will be important, so please listen out.
If you do, just try and stop us from loving you.
There are few women who actually listen out to what their man talks about.
Women who listen to men are rare and again, we will listen more to what you say if you give us that privilege.
Respect begets respect.
