Misinterpreted Signs between Spouses

By Carol Ann

When the wife isn't in the mood to be intimate with her spouse, the man can become increasingly frustrated. He becomes resentful and takes it as a rejection of his love. This can be the source of serious problems in a marriage.

A sexual relationship is viewed very differently by a man and a woman. For men, it is a way of showing his wife that they love her and she loves him in return. Many men feel that this is the only true way to let your spouse know how you feel about each other, however women believe in something completely different.

Women, however, feel like they show their love in various ways, such as cooking him dinner, caring for the house, watching after the children or buying him special presents for no reason. To women, intimacy comes in many forms from snuggling on the coach to walking hand in hand along the beach. It is not always the act of sexual intercourse that shows love for women, sometimes all she may need is a hug.

For the most part, women are not aware that men use intercourse as a way to measure their love. Men feel that it is not enough to just let their wife know, verbally, how much they love them. The man feels that it needs to be shown as well, as this is the only way they can think of to show their wife what she really means to him. When a man feels rejected by his spouse it is important he expresses theses feelings to his wife, so that she can gain a greater understanding on home much he relies on intercourse as a means of love and intimacy.

When the man lets the woman know how he really feels and why, it can make a difference in the relationship and marriage. Most women just aren't aware of the implications when they announce that they would rather sit and talk while holding each other, instead of having intercourse. If a wife is aware of the meaning behind the husbands desire for intercourse then there will be no misunderstandings or hurt feelings in the bedroom. - 30535
