Psychological Needs
Men need admiration from their wives. They need moral support. They need you to be their biggest cheerleader. They need to know you are in THEIR corner. They need to know you are on THEIR side. They need what God said they needed - a help meet.
Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
A lot of women will gossip about their husbands to other women. They will also ridicule him or put him down in public. They are his biggest enemy, if truth be told. They are not in his corner and definitely not on his side. I've known women that are only proud of their husbands when it makes them look good. They are selfish and not a help-meet at all.
Men need that companionship, as God Himself said it wasn't good that man be alone, he needs you! You should constantly be looking and praying for ways that you can be a better help meet to your husband. You should constantly be looking for ways to serve him and help him be able to conquer the world.
Proverbs 31:12
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Your ultimate goal in marriage should be to fulfill your duty as a loving wife and be that help meet that he so desperately needs, so that he can be what he should be. Make it a point to never ridicule him in public or gossip about him to others. Guard his name and his reputation with honor from your lips. Take an interest in what he does and admire him for it and who he is. Praise him for his manhood because men love this. I always made a big deal when my husband kills a bug in the house acting like a damsel in distress and he puffs out his chest and says, "Move away my fair maiden, I've got this." It is hilarious but in all seriousness, men need to be complimented on their manliness! Men need their ego boosted by their wives and it is a healthy form of pride in themselves. You should make them feel like they are truly your hero.
