The primary needs most men have:

**Self-confidence in his personhood as a man.
**To be listened to
**Companionship
**To be needed

Wife's role is

**to be a helper to our husband(to help him become a better person)
**to respect our husbands(valuing his opinion, admiring his wisdom and character, appreciating his commitment to you, and considering his needs and values)
**to love our husbands(accept your husband just as he is—an imperfect person;Love also means being committed to a mutually fulfilling sexual relationship)
**"Submit" To the Leadership of Our Husbands(Building oneness in marriage works best when both partners choose to fulfill their responsibilities voluntarily, with no pressure or coercion;Some husbands and wives actually believe submission indicates that women are inferior to men in some way.women think that if they submit they will lose their identity and become "non-persons." Others fear (some with good reason) that submission leads to being used or abused.Another misconception is that submission means blind obedience on the part of the woman. She can give no input to her husband, question nothing, and only stay obediently barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.a wife should submit voluntarily to her husband's sensitive and loving leadership. Therefore, as I voluntarily submit to my husband, I am completing him. I am helping him fulfill his responsibilities, and I am helping him become the man, the husband, and the leader God intended him to be.


husband's role is:

**Be a leader(women are to be respected, revered, and treated as equals with men;When husbands do not treat their wives as a precious gift from God and helpmate, they can cause those wives to search for a way to find significance and value as persons.)
**Love your wife unconditionally(If you want to love your wife unconditionally, always be sure her emotional tank is full. One of the best ways to do that is to affirm her constantly. Let her know verbally that you value her, respect her, and love her)
**serve your wife(best ways to serve your wife is to understand her needs and try to meet them;ask questions as What is she worried about? What troubles her? What type of pressure does she feel?What do you know about your wife's hopes and dreams? do you know what they are? Are you cultivating her gifts? If she has a knack for decorating, do you help her develop that? ;Another way to serve your wife is to provide for her.;To be a leader, a lover, and a servant is to accommodate your life to the life of the gift God has given you—your wife)

Love the way u put it but I guess Leadership is not by gender , I have seen women who take better dicision than men at times. I guess it should be situational who ever can take charge at a point should be taking charge and the other person should just follow suit ..

Well not all men are bad 😊 There are nice men in this world who would love their wives to be what she wants to be .. But yeah some men are just crazy .. BUt then the good ones should get the credit of being what they are 😊
