Chapter 1:Summary of His Needs, Her Needs"His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage" by Willard F. Harley Jr. is a guide aimed at helping couples understand and meet each other's emotional needs to strengthen their marriage and prevent infidelity. Harley identifies ten critical needs that men and women typically have in relationships, which he categorizes into two lists: "His Needs" and "Her Needs." Key Concepts:1. Understanding Needs: Harley emphasizes that understanding and fulfilling each other's emotional needs is vital for a healthy marriage. When spouses feel ignored or unfulfilled, they may seek emotional satisfaction outside the marriage.2. His Needs:- Sexual Fulfillment: A fulfilling sexual relationship is crucial for men.- Recreational Companionship: Men value spending time with their wives in enjoyable activities.- An Attractive Spouse: Physical attraction plays a significant role for men in feeling appreciated.- Domestic Support: Help with household responsibilities is important.- Admiration: Men thrive on respect and appreciation from their partners.3. Her Needs:- Affection: Women need emotional warmth and physical intimacy.- Conversation: Open communication and sharing are vital for women.- Honesty and Openness: Trust is foundational; spouses should be transparent with each other.- Financial Support: Security and stability are important aspects of a woman's emotional well-being.- Family Commitment: A strong commitment to family is crucial for women.4. Maintaining the Relationship: Harley provides practical advice for couples to nurture their emotional connection regularly, including scheduled "love busters" to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.5. Affair-Proofing: By understanding and satisfying each other's needs throughout the marriage, couples can create a deeply bonded partnership that is resilient against infidelity. Conclusion:Harley's work emphasizes the importance of mutual respect, communication, and effort in a relationship. By recognizing and addressing the diverse needs of both partners, couples can build a strong foundation for their marriage, ultimately leading to greater intimacy and satisfaction.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they continue last week's conversation on why people get divorced. If you missed the previous episode, we encourage you to go back and listen to that first. You can access that podcast HERE. In today's episode, we turn to what the Bible has to say about divorce and remarriage. Jesus essentially delivered a bombshell in His teaching on this as He took on the easy divorce culture of His day. Episode Links As mentioned last week, what kicked off this conversation was a USA Today article exploring the current divorce rates in the United States. We'd encourage you to take a look at the article's findings if you haven't done so already. Dr. White also mentioned a book written by Dr. Willard Harley called His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage that noted the importance of love and respect within marriage. You can find that book on Amazon HERE. Dr. White also discussed the need for the church to teach regularly on marriage, grounding people in a solid understanding of the Bible's view on the sanctity of holy matrimony. If you need help developing a marriage series at your church, you may be interested in checking out the following series given by Dr. White at Mecklenburg Community Church on this topic: Marriage Hacks Don't Do Stupid: Marriage Edition The Lies We Believe About Marriage Holy Matrimony Marriage Mentoring And the Two Shall Be Done For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

The most significant trap that tripped up Mable was that her desire for marriage and companionship had morphed into something God never intended. She had gotten caught up in the self-centered craving for perceived needs, as popularized by our culture. She saw the good God offered her through the lens of contemporary Christian literature rather than through the lens of Scripture. “Love Languages,” “Love and Respect,” “His Needs, Her Needs”: these are some of the books and buzzwords that are bandied about Christendom to find wholeness, resolve relational conflict, and live your best life now. While I understand why such materials exist, in marriage counseling specifically, these concepts are generally more of a hindrance than a help.

Have you ever taken the time to think about what your needs are - to really understand them? We are ALL so busy with so many different things and activities. It's so easy to get caught up in the demands of daily life and put our own needs on the back burner, trying to do everything for everyone else. Knowing and understanding your needs - good, bad or indifferent - is critical for your overall well-being and happiness, it will keep you from feeling empty or burned out - and it's like oxygen, as you feel more understood and respected in your relationships.Books Mentioned:His Needs, Her Needs: Building a Marriage That Lasts - by Willard F.

Tonight we are joined by Dr. Willard F. Harley Jr. You can find all of his resources on https://www.marriagebuilders.com/ Biography: Willard F. Harley, Jr., Ph.D. is best known as author of the internationally best selling book, His Needs, Her Needs: Building An Affair-proof Marriage. Over four million copies have been purchased, and it is available in twenty-two foreign translations. Dr. Harley earned a Ph.D. degree in psychology from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1967 and has been a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Minnesota since 1975. For the first ten years after earning his degree, he taught psychology at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. During those years, he was also a frustrated part-time marriage counselor with little success in helping couples. In 1973 he discovered that he was not alone in his failure to save marriages — almost everyone in the marital therapy profession were also failing. So he spent the next two years designing an entirely new approach (see How Dr. Harley Learned to Save Marriages). When his success rate skyrocketed in 1977, he resigned from his teaching position to counsel full-time. Over the next ten years his solo practice developed into the largest network of mental health clinics in Minnesota (thirty-two locations) with over one hundred psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and chemical dependency counselors working with him to provide a full range of mental health services. He became the exclusive provider of mental health and chemical dependency services in ten counties, and had offices in other counties as well. One of his responsibilities was to write support materials for the clinical program he directed. He created over one hundred questionnaires and wrote numerous articles that were given to clients as part of their therapy. Among the materials he wrote was His Needs, Her Needs, which was first published in 1986. Although it was written to be a support text for his marriage counseling program, within three years it had become a national best-seller and a basic reference for marriage counselors throughout the nation. By 1988 he found himself spending almost all of his time administering his clinics, and very little time doing what he enjoyed most — improving his marital therapy program. So he began turning his clinics over to the counselors who worked with him, and the ownership of his last clinic was transferred in 1993. Since then, he has written 19 more books and hundreds of articles. Dr. Harley continues to write, speak, and lead seminars throughout the US and Canada. Information regarding booking arrangements for his weekend seminar is found at How to Fall in Love and Stay in Love Seminar. Dr. and Mrs. Harley also host a daily one-hour call-in show, Marriage Builders® Radio. It can be heard on radio stations and on the Internet. They have been married for 58 years and live in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. They have two adult children, who are now working with them as marriage coaches, four grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.

Toxic Church Teaching on Female Sexual Desire from purity culture. In The Great Sex Rescue (https://amzn.to/3J6Dlg4) Sheila Gregoire documents teaching on Female Sexual Desire that makes intimacy more difficult in marriage. Popular books like "The Power of a Praying Wife" and "His Needs, Her Needs" propagate these teachings. Much of the teaching on sex focusses on male sexual release and ignores women's sexual desires. Men are portrayed as having a need for sex and women only have a need for relationship or emotional intimacy. This leads to the orgasm gap which is men having far more orgasms than their wives. The Scripture speaks in mutual terms for loving and serving your spouse. "The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.” (1 Corinthians 7:3, ESV) Let us know what you think in the comment section.

In today's episode, I talk about communication and marriage. Over the long weekend, I had a chance to connect with my husband and we talked about what I could talk about on the podcast. Richard and I don't necessarily fight but we do bicker with each other like old people, only because of how long we've known each other. This week, I share ways that you can communicate with your partner and what communication looks like in a marriage. Rachel shares how she and her husband got into an argument over the weekend and what transpired afterward (1:48) How to approach the role of housework with your spouse - tips from author and marriage expert Willard F. Harley, Jr's book. One way is to identify all the household responsibilities (5:14) Many women have this argument that they don't get the help that they need in the household, but this can be avoided through proper communication about each other's roles. Rachel shares how this looks like between her and her husband (9:30) Communicating with your spouse about what you need help with is important to consider. Another way to address housework and avoid conflict according to Willard F. Harley Jr is to communicate which tasks you don't mind doing yourself (11:12) When it comes to housework marriage takes you a step further because you do things for each other because you care about each other's feelings and not because you want them done yourself (13:27) Book mentioned: His Needs, Her Needs by Willard F. Harley Jr. This episode is sponsored by She Made Herself a Home, my book that will help you discover how to create a home that is inviting, beautiful, functional and uniquely personal all while staying on budget. It is a home decor planner that features beautiful photography from more than 40 real homes and contributions from other successful home decor bloggers.

My hope is that these pages spark your passions, guide you to create spaces you love and most importantly give you the confidence to try something new. Anyone, no matter age, status, income level or past can make a home for herself and those she loves. Because no one has to break the bank to bring new life, intention and purpose to a home.

My wife Chelsea joins me to continue our series talking about marriage. What is the primary cause of divorce? Most problems stem from bad communication. We share our experience and advice for a healthy marriage with these four guidelines for communication: Agree to be honest with your words (Jas 5:12). Make time to talk about your day (1Co 1:10).

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

IN THIS EPISODE BRYCE COVERS: Why relationships are important in life and work Before you start to work on relationships with others you've got to look inside yourself The difference between introverts and extroverts The best books to help you work on your personal and work relationships EPISODE DETAILS: This episode covers relationships with humans, your relationship with spirituality will be covered in a later episode. This episode also covers more than just romantic and personal relationships. Relationships and understanding them is important because relationships are everywhere, for example when doing real estate there are so many relationships with all the different people in the process - pre sale and post sale. We need to work on relationships if you want to be in the world as they're a very important part of life. We're all born instinctively to need relationships although they can be very easy to take for granted, especially the one with our spouse. Bryce and his wife went to a relationship retreat and he was surprised to find that they spent 80% time working on the relationship with themselves. He learned that childhood will shape your relationships of the future - everyone has childhood experiences which shape our journey. The things we project onto other people are usually things we don't like about ourselves. Self analysis is important and the relationship that needs the most work is the one with ourselves. We need to work through our own stuff and dig deep, so that we can provide value to others. Don't compete against others, only compete against yourself. Introverts and extroverts; Extroverts get their energy from working and interacting with other people, whereas introverts recharge from being alone. You can't fix people the same way you'd want to be fixed; you've got to treat them how they work rather than how you work. This is explained perfectly in the book ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus', that everyone has either masculine and feminine energy which creates different needs to be met. The second recommended book is ‘His needs, her needs' which is a bit on the darker side and bit of a reality check talking about the worst cases that could happen.

Only God can! Spring always follows winter How do seasons apply to marriage There are different things that we should be doing in each season Seasons are temporary. Our experiences happen in and out of season not the other way around. A person might describe 3 tough years in their marriage as one long season when in fact during those 3 years that person actually had a tough time that spanned 12 full seasons.

What spring is A time when things begin to grow A time when there’s new energy and vitality A time for prime time for planting Starting something new Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Spring is the season when we’re most optimistic and hopeful. Spring is the time when we begin acting on those things we planned in winter. What spring is not A time for reaping We tend to have unreasonable expectations for spring The season to chill (that winter) Spring is about working There is no better time to plant seeds than spring Pro 31:21 NIV When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

A man reaps what he sows. Gen 8:22 "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." What winter is A time where very little grows A time when things are less active (stillness) A time for prime time for rest and restoration Almost forced A season filled with beauty...but the beauty looks different A great season for planning and preparing for the rest of the year What winter is not A dead season Your marriage, love or spiritual things are not dead A desperate season It’s only desperate when you haven’t handled your previous seasons properly Pro 31:21 NIV When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. A dry season Technically the precipitation of winter is the basis for the spring growth.

Sam and Erica's Marriage podcast Romance in Your Marriage Part 3 of 4: Romance - Let’s get away!! Episode 007 February 18, 2019 Introduction Welcome Go ahead and subscribe...it’s free! Part 3 of our 4 part series on Romance In Your Marriage “Let’s get away!! Discussion Why is a getaway important? It gives you something to look forward to To reconnect To celebrate your marriage This may be a new concept for you. Parents never took vacations together Leaving a legacy for legacy To make new memories What should we do on our getaway? Sex Corinthians 7:1-4 “Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.” Set goals Spend time doing things you enjoy doing together Try something new REST!!! Mark 6:30-31” The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”” We are a society that’s busier than ever these days. Kids are constantly on the go. Ministry Work How long should a getaway last? We recommend at least 3-4 days (but shoot for as long as possible)-it may take you 1 whole day for travel and just to unwind from the last few months or year depending on how long it’s been since your last getaway. If you go to a conference try to go a day or 2 ahead and/or stay a day or two later As important as the number of days are, and they are, the quality of the time is just as important. Who goes on the getaway? Husband and wife only This says to your spouse you are important to me. I want to spend this time with you. You can plan a family vacation and include the kids later. Where should we go? Personal choice Conferences Good for getting refreshed in the Word on how to be married God’s way. Cruises All inclusive resort Different cities or states Favorite hotels To see or do something on your Bucket List What should we do to prepare? Pray/Fast ahead of time. John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Plan ahead financially (spending plan) Make sure you get passports way ahead of time if you’re leaving the country Have backup plans for childcare/petcare What should we take?

Part 2 of our 4 part series on Romance In Your Marriage Discussion Fanning the flames When we notice the fire going out or dying down we we have take action to get those embers going again. We have to be intentional (my word for 2019) if we want to see change. The Drift Life gets in the way Unintentional Past hurts and unforgiveness can stop a relationship from growing We understand that where there is hurt, resentment or unforgiveness that needs to be dealt with. We suggest you get counseling. We know it’s hard to just put a “date-aid” on a old wound and expect everything to be ok. One small “bump” and the pain will come right back. Seek professional help, it’s worth it!! Work, kids, ministry, family can be a diversion from what’s going on in marriage Can be a comfort zone Meeting the needs of my spouse (Questionnaire) What are my emotional needs? Be honest when filling out the survey. Your spouse can’t meet those needs if you are not honest with the answers. What are my spouse’s emotional needs? Generalizations Her first need is Affection Hold her hand Cuddle for the sake of cuddling. She’s not clingy she has a need. She may not even be aware that this is a need until it’s not being met. When you dated or early in the marriage these things were automatic. His first need is Sexual Fulfillment Her second need is Intimate Conversation She wants your undivided attention. She needs to know that she’s important to you and what she has to say matters. His second need is Recreational CompanionshipSam & Erica call it “hanging out” Meeting these needs make you irresistible to your spouse Realization on whether I’m meeting those needs or not Love bank/ Love tank. When we are meeting the emotional needs of our spouse we are making deposits into his or her account. When we aren’t meeting those needs just the opposite is happening. We are draining our spouse and they begin to feel unloved and will retaliate in a way that hurts the relationship. Am I willing to meet those needs? Meeting those needs has to be intentional Proverbs 5:18-19 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. As a living hind and graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love. Ladies, I read in a book that our husbands should be so satisfied that’s it’s like if they were so stuffed with their favorite meal and were offered dessert they would turn it down. It can even work even if your spouse is unaware Burning hotter then it has in the past If you know your spouse’s emotional need / love language you are better equipped to show love to them in a way they need it most. There are blessings in meeting the needs of my spouse Builds a deeper level of intimacy Opens up the possibilities in the relationship Creates oneness.

In Part 1 of this series, Marc covers the first half of a feedback session with Juan about his personality assessment. The second half of the feedback session will be in next week’s episode. Key Takeaways: [1:20] Marc welcomes you to Episode 83 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast and invites you to share this podcast with like-minded souls. Please subscribe, share it on social media, write an honest iTunes review, or tell your neighbors and colleagues. [1:48] This begins a four-part series called “Can Juan Repurpose His Career?” Juan is in his mid-fifties, a former school teacher, technology trainer, adjunct professor, and multipotentialite. Juan is trying to figure out what is next. This episode is the first half of the first feedback session Marc held with Juan. You will hear the second half next week. [2:16] You will find all the reports used in this four-episode series at CareerPivot.com/Juan. You may pause the podcast now to download the reports. Or you could listen to the episode, download the reports, and listen to it again. [2:36] Marc will take a two-week break after Episode Two of this series, then he will be back with an interview and then a report on the Miller family’s pivot to Mexico before the Parts Three and Four episodes of this series, “Can Juan Repurpose His Career?” Marc will later do a similar series with “Sarah.” [3:02] Marc thanks Juan for being willing to share his Birkman Assessment with the audience. Juan talks about his background. He attended a community college, a state university, and then earned a Master’s degree. He saw education as an insurance policy that would make him lay-off proof. He has changed his mind about that. [4:51] Juan has been an educator, a computer technology trainer, a financial education trainer, a public school teacher, and taught at a college and a university. He didn’t want to follow the rigid path of his father who worked 40 years at a steel mill.[6:00] Marc points out that a school teacher has a rigid schedule. Juan does not want to return to teaching school if he has other options. [6:44] Marc starts to go into the Birkman Assessment with Juan. Juan’s ego is fed externally. He needs people around him for support. He needs a tribe. He worries and thinks a lot before making big decisions. [7:29] Juan gives his first reaction to reading the personality assessment. He had never taken an assessment and he found it to be insightful and revealing.[8:27] Marc promises Juan more clarity as they explore the report. First comes the Signature Summary. At the top, there are Birkman Components. For each component there is a Usual Behavior number and a Needs number. The first number is how Juan describes his behavior. The second number is how Juan wants to be treated. [8:55] Juan follows the normative pattern but has some big gaps. His Social Energy shows he is a closet introvert. His Self-Consciousness score shows he wants people to treat him with respect — more than he treats them. His Thought score shows he considers himself a quick thinker but big decisions are painful for him. [9:39] In a number of areas, Juan throws off a false persona. In some areas it is real. Juan “looks like” a teacher. [10:03] Next is Birkman Interests. Juan’s numbers indicate he has a wide variety of interests. The Birkman Map of his usual behavior shows that Juan wants to be treated differently than his behavior and interests indicate. He has learned to behave like an introvert. Marc relates to that. [11:11] Next Marc covers the Birkman Interests page. Numbers above 90 refer to ‘must-haves.’ Juan has only one area above 90: Literary. He loves to read books on business, biographies, history, science, spiritual topics, sociology, nature. He reads at least an hour a day for enjoyment, relaxation, and education. [12:21] Marc recommends taking a 15-minute book break when Juan gets stressed. Juan also likes writing on a blog or for a copy. He journals a few lines every day. Marc notes that you can’t always get paid for writing. The next highest area is Scientific. Juan likes figuring things out in research. He lists a few interests. [15:02] Juan also has a high Musical number. He gives a few of his musical interests. Juan has a moderately high Technical number. He likes solving problems. [15:57] Juan has a lot of categories in the middle: Administrative, Artistic, Persuasive, Outdoors, Social Service. Numerical is his lowest number. Most of Juan’s interest are in the middle range. Every few years in Juan’s career he has gotten bored and moved on. [17:21] Marc describes Juan as a multipotentialite. Ten to fifteen percent of the population fits this category. They are generalists. Corporate America values specialists, not generalists. [18:07] Marc goes to the Behavioral Matrix for three areas: Interpersonal, Organizational and Time Management/Planning (decision making). Marc compares Juan’s numbers with the median numbers. [19:38] The first topic is Self-Consciousness and sensitivity when dealing with others. Juan’s usual behaviors are Frank, Direct, and Matter-of-Fact. His score is a six compared to the median score of 25. His Needs are to be treated with more respect than he treats others. If he is berated, it bothers him. [22:21] Juan's needs are not obvious from his usual behavior. It is easy for others to mistakenly assume he needs to be treated in a frank and direct manner. His feelings may be hurt, on occasion. He wears his emotions. [23:31] Juan’s Stress Reactions are Embarrassment, Shyness, and Oversensitivity. As a child he enjoyed being alone, reading, and working by himself. [25:07] Juan’s Social Energy is that he is generally pleasant, outgoing, and at ease and comfortable in group activities. His warm manner helps him meet people easily, which is good in social situations. Juan’s Usual Behaviors are Sociable, Communicative, and At Ease in Groups. His Social number is 98 against the median of 75. [25:30] Juan’s Needs: his high Social number conceals Juan's need to spend time alone or in the company of one or two significant individuals. He has learned how to behave socially but it consumes a lot of his energy. When he networks it has to be for a specific interest. [27:38] Continuous pressure to be in social situations can upset his sense of well-being. Without sufficient time to himself, Juan is likely to become withdrawn, possible to a surprising extent. [28:30] Marc recommends that Juan should bracket recharge time before and after a networking event to be alone. Marc gives an example from his own experience. [30:36] Juan reads the Possible Stress Reactions: withdrawal, tendency to ignore groups, impatience. Juan agrees. That is one of the reasons Juan is looking at a career transition. [31:07] Emotional Energy is the next area. Juan is open and comfortable with expressing emotion. Juan prefers not to get too involved in the emotional problems of other people and finds it important to keep the facts in sight. At the same time Juan has a genuine understanding and sympathy for people’s feelings. [31:34] Juan’s Usual Behaviors are objective yet warm, sympathetic yet practical. Juan’s number is 51 against the median of 25. For a male, he is pretty emotional. He talks about how he relates in difficult emotional situations. [32:26] Juan’s Needs number is 82. His Needs are that he functions best in surroundings that allow him and others to express and work out their emotional responses. He needs to feel that others are aware of his feelings and value them. He wants to feel significant and valued. [33:11] As Juan looks back, he sees his career has tilted more toward female-dominated career areas. Marc says this is where men who are emotional will do better. Marc compared this to “Tim’s” experience. Tim and Juan both want people to outwardly care about them. [35:59] Juan’s causes of stress: when Juan thinks others are overlooking his feelings, he tends to overemphasize the importance of his feelings and become dispirited. Juan’s Stress Reactions are becoming overly sensitive, loss of objectivity, and strong discouragement. [36:48] Juan’s usual behaviors in Drive for Personal Rewards are being competitive and business-like and he values what will promote immediate purposes and objectives. Juan enjoys personal competition and finds bargaining stimulating and desirable. [37:05] Juan is competitive, resourceful, and opportunity-minded. This behavior is not typical of an educator. Juan’s needs are very typical of an educator. [38:10] Juan needs an environment that encourages individual performance and motivates people with individual incentives. It is important to Juan that personal efforts and achievements are continually recognized and rewarded. He wants people to notice his good work. The education system is not oriented around recognizing educators. [39:18] Marc says that for people who have a high need to feel valued, there are six motivators for them, the mission (non-profits or military), public recognition, the bonus check, and the pat on the back from your boss, your team, or your client. [39:57] Marc gives Juan an assignment to get clear about what he wants. He needs to reflect back on when he has been the happiest, when he has felt the most valued, and what they did to make him feel that way. People want to be rewarded in their own way. The only way to communicate that to your boss is to go ask for it. [40:54] Marc shares when he received no client feedback, vs. ‘Wow!’ client feedback. [42:02] Juan’s causes of stress: his basic attitudes cause him to put his own interests above the interests of others, without being fully aware of it. People who are too trusting and idealistic annoy Juan. He sees them as phony. Juan’s stress reactions are to act self-protectively, become materialistic, and be self-promoting. [43:59] Non-profits and schools, which tend to be very idealistic, are not great long-term environments for Juan. Juan has just realized they are not a good match for his personality. [43:25] Marc’s last thoughts: Juan, as a multipotentialite, bounced around in his career, doing something different, every few years. Now in his mid-fifties, with no obvious direction, Marc will attempt to steer Juan to the path to success. [45:06] Check back next week, when Marc will finish the first feedback session with Juan.

Young men are clueless and what a woman really needs and are shell-shocked when they discover that everything they thought about women changed the day AFTER they got married. What's worse is when a man discover this 25 years later when his wife leaves him after the children leave the home. Don't be that man. Learn the top needs of your wife so that your marriage will be its best version. Join us with author Bill Harley and his classic book His Needs Her Needs with over 4 million copies sold! Willard F. Harley, Jr., Ph.D. is best known as author of the internationally best selling book, His Needs, Her Needs: Building An Affair-proof Marriage. Over four million copies have been purchased, and it is available in twenty-two foreign translations. Dr. Harley earned a Ph.D. degree in psychology from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1967 and has been a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Minnesota since 1975. For the first ten years after earning his degree, he taught psychology at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. During those years, he was also a frustrated part-time marriage counselor with little success in helping couples. In 1973 he discovered that he was not alone in his failure to save marriages -- almost everyone in the marital therapy profession were also failing. So he spent the next two years designing an entirely new approach (see How Dr. Harley Learned to Save Marriages). When his success rate skyrocketed in 1977, he resigned from his teaching position to counsel full-time. Over the next ten years his solo practice developed into the largest network of mental health clinics in Minnesota (thirty-two locations) with over one hundred psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and chemical dependency counselors working with him to provide a full range of mental health services. He became the exclusive provider of mental health and chemical dependency services in ten counties, and had offices in other counties as well. One of his responsibilities was to write support materials for the clinical program he directed. He created over one hundred questionnaires and wrote numerous articles that were given to clients as part of their therapy. Among the materials he wrote was His Needs, Her Needs, which was first published in 1986. Although it was written to be a support text for his marriage counseling program, within three years it had become a national best-seller and a basic reference for marriage counselors throughout the nation. By 1988 he found himself spending almost all of his time administering his clinics, and very little time doing what he enjoyed most -- improving his marital therapy program. So he began turning his clinics over to the counselors who worked with him, and the ownership of his last clinic was transferred in 1993. Since then, he has written 19 more books and hundreds of articles. Dr. Harley continues to write, speak, and lead seminars throughout the US and Canada. For information regarding booking arrangements for his weekend seminar, "How to Fall in Love and Stay in Love," click this link for more information. Dr. and Mrs. Harley also host a daily one-hour call-in show, Marriage Builders Radio. It can be heard on radio stations and on the Internet. They have been married for 54 years and live in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. They have two adult children, who are now working with them as marriage coaches, and four grandchildren.
On this week's #DateWithTheDorseys episode tune in as we discuss His Needs and Her Needs. Every relationship has rules, whether spoken or unspoken, organic or created. Either way it's important to be on the same page with your significant other. Tune in to hear more.
Today on the TBB podcast is my very dear friend Linda Paulk. Linda is married to Bob, a captain in the Naval Reserves, and are blessed with two children. Linda defines the word thrive this way, “you know you are following God’s will for your life when you know you are in touch with who He created you to be, and you are using the gifts that He gave you, all for His glory.” For years, Linda felt her identity was defined by corporate success. But twelve years ago, she left a position as CEO of a large corporation and began to walk a new journey, a spiritual revival, where God began to help her define who He made her to be. As God began revealing His plan for her life, she realized He had a much bigger plan than she had realized. God used multiple people to show Linda she was putting Him in a box. She began a slow journey of letting go of fear, knowing fear is not of God. After much prayer, Linda moved forward into full time ministry as the CEO of Sky Ranch. Linda and I talked about marriage and what she felt has been the most challenging time during their marriage. She felt that, by far, becoming empty nesters has been the toughest. She and Bob found a great resource, His Needs, Her Needs: Building an Affair-Proof Marriage: Willard F. Harley a study guide and book which has been life changing. In our interview, Linda shared with me some valuable advice, “Become aware of who you are and don’t be afraid to know who you are and who you are not.” I would encourage you to check out Sky Ranch, an incredible christian family camp. They are in the business of making Jesus famous and leading youth and families to know and follow Christ. Here’s my interview with Linda Paulk.
Have you ever thought to yourself “Why is it so hard for my spouse to understand my emotional needs?” You try telling them, you try showing them but there is still that disconnect. Join Philip and Lisa as they explore this confusing subject with Dr. Willard Harley author of “His Needs, Her Needs.” For more info go to www.c360today.com.… Read more about this episode...
I shared with you last week that when Brenda and I really struggled in our marriage, we at one point had given up. But then we started trying again. Now we had tried before. We had tried for years. I felt like I had given and given to our relationship – like I was the most giving man to ever take on the burden of a wife – and was somehow the most under-appreciated man in the world. Turns out, Brenda felt like she was the most giving woman to ever take on the burden of a husband – and was somehow the most under-appreciated woman in the world. We thought we were working so hard and really putting ourselves out there. How can that happen? That you both feel like you’re putting so much work into your marriage and yet it’s not working? It happens all the time. The God who created the whole idea of marriage gives us a path to our spouse’s heart in His word. It only makes sense that the God who created men and women and marriage and who loves us so much would give us the keys to an intimate marriage. In the book His Needs, Her Needs, the author gives a list of 5 needs for men and women. I won’t go through all of those today, but one for each spouse that are most important. The great need for a man is respect. A man needs to feel the respect of his wife. Ephesians 5:22-24 Women, you all know how fragile your husband’s ego is. Believe it or not, this is common among men. Your man’s ego is not broken, it’s common. Value his opinion. Tell him the things that he does that he’s good at. Tell him the things that he does that you like. Even if he does 10 things wrong in an area, find the one good thing and praise him for it. Do you know what that will do to a man? He’ll be like, oh, you like that, you haven’t seen anything yet. Men move toward the place of greatest honor. That’s why many men drift away from a nagging wife at home and stay late at work where people appreciate and honor him. For a woman, there is a great need for love. She needs to feel and see the love of her husband. Ephesians 5:25-27 Ephesians 5:28-32 How does love communicate best? How can you show it best? There is no greater way to show love to your wife than to seek her good at your expense. Wash dishes – happily - when you’d rather watch TV. Spend time with the kids – in a good mood – when you’d rather be resting. Talk to her – patiently and engaged - even when you’re tired. There is a great book that came out a year or two ago that I haven’t read, called “Love and Respect.” It’s built on this premise that a man should love his wife and a wife should respect her husband. Ephesians 5:33 Love and respect. A man is to show a self-sacrificing love to his wife. A woman is to show a respectful love to her husband. Your marriage, especially as a believer is to be a reflection of Christ and the church. But often our marriages look like everyone else’s. Let marriage be held in honor among all – Hebrews 13:4a
