    A woman's need is security
    Spiritually taking care of her
    Emotionally taking care of her
    Practically taking care of her
    Women want to be led
    Open and honest communication
    Is important to a woman

    Sometimes the husband does not mature thru time but maybe the woman does and we feel like we have a child instead of a responsible mature husband. Eventually if they don’t want to step up, it causes frustration with the wife. Some men just need to grow up!

    So enjoyed this episode. It’s the first one that I’ve listen to you and I have to say I was thankful to hear about being a part of my husband’s activities. I’m a crafter, he’s a gardener...so one is always outside and one is always inside. But now that spring is here I will make it a point to try to go out and help however I can; Plus shop for flowers and vegetables to plant. Thank you, for this Wonderful insight

    Thanks for talking through these topics! One thing that would be appreciated is if you could cite references (either in the bible or scientific articles) that we could use for further learning?
    Another quick note - when you bump the table there's a real deep rumble coming through the recording which can be unpleasant. Maybe put something under the mics to dampen the vibrations?

    How can you be best friends with your wife when her and her dad are best friends instead? I never knew their relationship was so close it is enmeshed. She’ll watch this and still say no my dad is my best friend and he will always be my number one man and I’ll never put another man before my parents. My pastor says if that’s the case then we aren’t really married and the counselor says the same thing yet her and her dad say I’m the one that’s out of line! I really don’t understand it. The more I open up the more ammunition there is against me

      If she's Christian, she's commanded to leave and cleave to their spouse. The fact you feel the intimacy is in competition, shows where she has affections that are meant to be for their spouse after marriage. Be open about how you feel and give examples to bring closeness...

    Hey Jimmy ! This is a comment from a different teaching that you did, where You said children are all in heaven? Teenage wicked children are not in heaven they're in hell if they didn't accept Jesus. That's why bar mitzvah's are hilled at 13 years old, that's not just to celebrate them coming into puberty, interpuberty, it's also a warning of responsibility that they need to decide and choose a spiritual covering And father.. I thought it was important to say this because you wanted to teach us that I just saw you do? You said That children are all in heaven , but 19 majors that were not saved they certainly are not.

    @courtneykirk478 Před 2 lety +1

    This is a good commentary, but I, as an African-American lady, want to be respected first, which in my opinion is the same as honoring security. In my opinion, I do not believe that many women want to "mother" an old man, or should I state, an adult man. Many women do not believing in babying or Molly coddling. As I render respect, I expect respect, and need honor, the same as a gent. No difference. Lovemaking/sex is just as important to me as to any gent. Strive not to set women in a box and leave them there. I want a husband to be my best friend as well. Ask around again about the needs of ladies.

      If someone is a drunk and a cheat, you need to step back, I don't say divorce but a seperation from him and pray for him. But how awful if you are in this situation.. 🙏🏽😓
