Summary
It's the age old question "what do women 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 will be a two part series that will follow up with exploring the needs that men have as well (so don't feel left out guys)!
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 women in one season, will not be the same in another.
In this episode you will hear the top 3 needs we are hearing from women right now, which are especially related to the longer a couple is together. As you will hear from the beginning, these needs are more like categories than specific actions. If you look at them this way then it won't seem like a moving target from one season to another. Focus on these 3 categories and you will find more flexibility and effectiveness in meeting the needs in the years to come.

| 0:32.7 | We get to hear from so many men and women in their own words what they want and need more of in the marriage. |
| 0:41.3 | Now, as you hear both episodes, you likely will say, well, we both kind of want those things. |
