7 Things Men Need in a Relationship

In every relationship, it is necessary to try to satisfy a set of needs of your partner in order to have a successful relationship. Sometimes we pretend to know a lot about how our loved ones think and assume that they feel 100% free to ask us what they want, but in reality, it is not so. In most cases, they don’t tell us what they really want, so it seems like you have to guess. 

Men usually act like the stronger ones in a relationship and as such do not completely make known what they want so that they do not appear vulnerable or weak. This article focuses on 7 things men need in a relationship but may never openly ask for. These essential things are explained below. 

1. Acknowledgment

• 

At some point in our lives, we realize that most men rely on a fragile ego. This is what makes them vulnerable when they receive a few words of thanks. We recommend that you appreciate him as much as possible when he does something good for you, just as he would like if it were with you. Affection and care in the relationship are part of a healthy lifestyle for two. You need to show appreciation at all times when he strives to make you happy. 

2. Hugs

The expression of love is very important, be it a simple hug to passionate kisses or sex. The desire to touch another human being is a basic need and the warmth of a hug is something that brings us comfort in our times of despair. You can try this simple task: If your boyfriend is in a sad and unmotivated state, take the time to give him a big hug and you will see how his mood will change instantly. Hugs are usually helpful. Inasmuch as it may not completely solve the problem, it makes your partner know that they are safe and you care. 

3. Conversations – Seek to understand and solve problems with him

• 

Men usually prefer to handle their issues themselves but the truth is that, most times they feel overwhelmed and want to share their problems with someone they love and trust. However, they do not do this because of their ego and also because they do not want to be seen as weak. 

Because of these, you as a woman and a loving partner should always try to have in depth conversations with your partner and help them solve certain problems they have. This helps them get better and strengthen your relationship. 

4. Transparency and security

One of the most important things you should know about men is that they highly value transparency and the feeling of security in the relationship. Thus, in various ways make it known that you are transparent in your actions and have no intention of committing a betrayal. Nothing is more attractive to a man than a partner who is sincere and makes him feel safe at all times in the relationship.

5. Companionship 

• 

Men usually love to be with someone they care about. Always spend quality time with your man and ensure that the time spent makes up for your previous and to an extent, your future absence. If you have been in a relationship for some time, you are encouraged to spend quality time with your man and be as supportive as possible. 

6. An understanding partner 

Expressing feelings from a male point of view is an arduous task for many of them. In most cases, they don’t know how to do it and therefore are afraid to say what they really feel in their hearts. We can say that men’s minds work very differently from women, so we must be aware that they will be silent sometimes. Not talking about feelings does not mean that he does not feel anything. Let him breathe and be silent, he will definitely come around. 

7. Take the reins

• 

Men always want to feel dominant, even though they don’t say it. You must play smart and know when and how to give the man the reins of the relationship. They like to lead the relationship and make important decisions, so allow him to make some decisions and always make your input especially when his decision is not right.
