“I used to think my husband didn’t need me. When my boys were really young, I gave them all of my time and attention. I wanted to be a really good mom so I read all kinds of books about parenting and kids’ learning styles. I kind of became a student of my kids so I could meet all of their needs.
The only problem was, I’d given so much to my kids that when my husband got home from work in the evenings I had nothing left to give to him.
One night my husband and I got into kind of an argument, and he ended up telling me he felt like our marriage wasn’t a priority to me anymore. I got all defensive and told him the kids needed me more because they were children and he was a grown man.
You know what I discovered that night? My husband does need me just in a different way than my kids. He needs to know he matters to me, and that I want to spend time with him and meet his needs too.”
