Summary
This is the second half of that age old question "what do men want" in a marriage? If having a successful marriage is directly related to meeting each other's needs then it's quite important to know what those needs are. This episode is the followup from last week about women's needs right now.
With the amount of coaching sessions we do, we have a great insight into the common needs that are going unmet for couples. There are themes that seem to show up in general, so even the specific needs we hear from men in one season, will not be the same in another (though admittedly more consistent than women's it seems)!
In this episode you will hear the top 3 needs we are hearing from men right now. A little different from the start of the women's needs episode, you will also hear 3 key traits that also need to be present in the marriage for there to be willingness and receptivity to these needs. Get ready for a great episode for insight into men's needs (and the critical element of integrity)!

| 0:13.9 | Jocelyn Freeman, but you all just know us as the Freeman's. And this episode is a follow-up from |
| 0:18.5 | the last week, what men truly want in a marriage, especially |
| 0:22.6 | the longer they're together. |
| 0:24.0 | So we are going to be talking about men. |
| 0:26.5 | If you want to hear the episode about women, go back and listen to them. |
| 0:30.6 | And the goal would be that as you hear both episodes, it opens up a conversation about |
| 0:37.3 | meeting each other's greatest wants and needs. |
| 0:40.3 | How can we get even better as a team? |
| 0:42.8 | Now I'm excited to dive into these because Aaron really focused on writing these because |
| 0:46.5 | he is speaking both from the male perspective because he is a male, but he also talks to |
| 0:50.3 | a lot of men in our sessions. |
| 0:51.8 | This is exactly where it's coming from. |
| 0:53.9 | We have done thousands |
| 0:54.9 | and thousands of sessions that are well documented, and these are some of the standout things that we hear. |
| 1:01.7 | We could have listed many things, right? Because there's a wide range of experiences and where |
| 1:06.3 | couples are coming from, but these are some standout ones that I'm sure you will relate to. |
| 1:12.6 | And we do this type of episode, I would say maybe twice a year. So we did a similar episode about |
| 1:20.1 | the needs we hear from women and men during that particular season. I should have went and looked, |
