![]() ![]() One man told me, “I feel like I go out into the ring every day and fight. They want their wife to love them like their mama did when they were little. Its not to make excuses for the way men hurt people, or to gloss over mistakes men make, its to show that at the end of the day, they are really just little boys. ![]() Many of these quotes are taken from Marriage Missions, which has numerous articles about Marriage, but this is really just so show that a man’s wife’s approval and love for him is at the heart of his desire. In other words, a man could easily go a week without talking to his wife, and a wife could go a week without being intimate with her husband, but … nevermind…not the subject. I have heard the saying that its the same thing as a woman’s need to talk. This is not about his sexual needs, which is of course a part of man. There is a reason behind why everyone does what they do. I keep stating over and over that trying to understand another person is impossible because of our sinful self-centeredness, and that it is only by recognition of our own sinful self-centeredness and seeking the power of the Holy Spirit can we stop being offended by another and look at why they do what they do. Men are therefore particularly susceptible to feelings of personal rejection through the actions and words of their wives. “It is not good that the man should be alone I will make him a companion fit for him. So God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him male and female created he them.”2 “Many men – even those with close friendships, seem to live with a deep sense of loneliness that is quite foreign to us oh-so-relational women.”1 Men therefore rely heavily on their wives, their Eve, to be there for them and be their companion.
