What are your emotional needs from your husband or others in your life?

It is not just about what your emotional needs from your husband are. One of the most important factors that hold a marriage or other relationship together are honoring and meeting each other’s needs, while at the same time, meeting your own requirements.

We can receive from our partner, what it is we need and desire, however, we must be willing to have those needs and desires met in ourselves first in order to avoid unhealthy co-dependency, illicit affairs and to create awareness of our wholeness.

We are already whole beings, and it is a false belief that another person will make us whole. Our happiness, abundance, well being and peace do not originate outside of ourselves. This incorrect belief may originate from having been abused as a child , or from a life time long ago, and can lead to emotionally abusive relationships, for what you believe one can do for you can also turn drastically into what one can do to you.

If you are constantly focused on your husband meeting your emotional needs, you may be avoiding an opportunity for self-growth. Take a look at the list to the left of emotional needs and pick about five of which seem most important to you.
