Believe it or not out of the top five emotional needs of men, having an attractive spouse falls somewhere between 3 and 4. As a woman, I think I speak for all women when I say that I found that to be fickle. In our minds as women we would think that it is more important to have values such as honesty, integrity and trust rather than an attractive spouse but not so with men.
Does it mean that if you are not beautiful or have the capacity to retain your youthful appearance that your spouse will no longer show any interest? No! It means that you need to be the woman that you were when your married your spouse. Let me explain. Remember your courting days? At that time I am sure that you always tried to look your best for him then. Never a hair out of place and always well dressed. Back then, you cared about any extra pounds you gained.
It is important to try as a woman to look good for your husband. When this emotional need is met your spouse feels fulfilled. Your physical appearance makes your husband feels good.
I will share what happens in my household as an example. I am a work at home mom and sometimes that means leaving some chores undone until very late in the evening. I leave my home office at four and start preparing dinner, helping out with homework and catching up on chores. I usually expect my husband home at 6:00 pm so in spite of where I am with my chores I leave it so that I can quickly take a shower and change my clothing before he arrives. Is it inconvenient? Absolutely, but I love the look in his eyes whenever I open the door and welcome him home. You know what? That look more than makes up for any inconvenience that I would have felt in leaving the chores. Another benefit is that once he unwinds he is more than happy to pitch in.
Ladies, do not underestimate the power of looking good for your man. It takes very little to do so and the reward is priceless.
