What Men Really Want From Marriage
A recent article by psychologist Van Farmer of Fargo, North
Dakota identifies eight pieces of advice for wives based on a
survey of married men. Interestingly, many of these suggestions
support the empirical research of John Gottman. Here they are:
- Be Less Critical
- Don’t Bear Grudges
- Be Supportive of Work and Leisure Activities
- Be Nurturing
- Verbalize Your Needs
- Be A Friend
- Initiate Physical Affection
- Take Responsibility For Your Own Happiness

What I have always wanted in marriage is a deep emotion connection. My wife and I love each other, but this connection has never happened in 28 years. Marriage has been such a disappointment and so lonely.
