Things women want from husbands

A lot of men have many misconceived ideas about what women want. Many men in macho cultures in Asia and Latin America think that women are some kind of hungry animals and it is there job to "satisfy" them. Other men have told us that if you provide for them, give them money to spend, and nice gifts from time to time, you have made them happy.

Nothing could be farther from the truth and these attitudes are prevalent mostly among macho men. In reality, women want things are that much less materialistic or physical. In a recent survey of married women by Family Circle, the top five sexiest things that a husband can do for them are:

1. Take care of me when I am sick
2. Tell me he loves me
3. Helps me clean the house
4. Cuddles with me
5. Say nice things about me in front of others

Are you surprised? Most men that we spoke to were. They had no idea that it was so "cheap" to make women feel sexy. No talk of money or gifts or even sex here.

So what can you do to be a great husband?

• Think of her as a friend - as someone equal. Forget the notion that you are some kind of superior creature sent on earth to protect her.
• Even though most men do not like to cuddle, do it. Eventually you will start liking it too.
• Learn to communicate. Men and women have different styles of communication and if you make an attempt to understand how women absorb information, you can say the things that you want to say but do not because you may not always know that you have to say them.
