A couple who wants to build a successful relationship must understand each other's needs. A husband must always remember that a woman's needs and expectations are different from a man's. True intimacy can only be achieved when a woman finds a complete and fulfilling relationship. So, what do women look for in marriage?
Women marry to find a special best friend. They want someone who will share their secrets, laugh and joke with them, love them, cherish them, show affection, be romantic, and make them feel beautiful and desired. They seek someone who is emotionally attracted to them for their personality and physically attracted to them for their presence.
A woman desires a partner who will strive to live a good life together—laughing and rejoicing in good times, standing by each other, and offering support during hardships.
She wants a man who is steadfast in his faith, someone who can stand strong, take responsibility for the family, and help raise children according to Islamic teachings.
A woman wants her husband to be her friend, companion, and soulmate.
Any good husband must understand that a woman's primary need is emotional.
"The best of you are those who are the best to their wives."
He should then strive to be the best to his wife.
God has entrusted men with the responsibility of caring for their wives, which includes treating them with love and respect and making an effort to keep them happy. If a husband fulfills his wife's primary needs, not only will God reward him, but his wife will also be content with him, leading to a more harmonious married life. Furthermore, when a woman's needs are met, she will be more inclined to fulfill her husband's needs, by the will of God.
The best way to fulfill a woman's emotional needs is to listen to her and respond with empathy. By listening attentively, giving her your undivided attention, and showing genuine interest in what she has to say, she will feel loved, cherished, and valued. It is essential to understand that when she comes to you with her problems, she is not necessarily seeking a solution—she simply wants empathy and understanding.
