While a man has a yearning and need for his wife to be proud of him. This is known admiration. In marriages this is one of many ways that husbands and wives attribute value to their spouse and receive value from one another. Throughout Chapter 11 and 12 of His Needs Her Needs, it clarifies how family commitment and admiration are imperative in a marriage. Additionally, it outlines how these two things work together to meet the need of the husband and wife individually and as a couple. Although the way each family functions contrast from household to household, a commitment is a characteristic that women find most …show more content…
These things intertwine because a man seeks admiration and in order for a wife to genuinely give admiration she needs the security of family commitment. Ephesians 5:22-25 says, Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. One way to see this verse is as a commitment of who a husband will be in marriage to his wife. When a husband is as committed to his wife as Christ to His church the wife has no difficulty with showering her spouse with admiration. A committed husband is one who esteems his wife, respects, honors, loves, and encourages. When a husband does this as unto God, compliments, encouraging words, praise and admiration is easily given to the husband. This happens because the wife is purely mirroring the example set by her mate that was initially set by
The first chapter begins with an exploration of love and marriage in many ancient and current cultures.

China and other societies believed that love was simply a product of marriage and shouldn’t get too out of hand, while a few Greek and Roman philosophers shunned excessive
As we have learned through Skolnick’s book, as well as Rubin’s research, the make up of the family is influenced by many factors. The economy, culture, education, ethnicity/race, and tradition all help to create the modern family. The last few decades have heavily influenced the family structure, and while some try to preserve the past, others embrace the future. Through it all, we find you can have both.
Even though love and marriage was a major ideal in Shakespearean England, we can get views from Much Ado about Nothing which oppose this idea. From the two main ‘couples’ in this play we can understand their different views on commitment throughout and because of this we as readers and viewers can learn about each relationship separately and watch the thoughts and ideas change throughout the play.
Their marriage seems a product of convenience and societal standards, not love and passion. This type of relationship tends to lead to the objectifying of either the man or the woman, if not both, within a marriage. In this instance, Mr. Pontellier views his wife as his possession. On page 44, Mr. Pontellier tells his wife t...
In the book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (1999) John M. Gottman provides insight on the seven fundamental tools to construct positive relationships. Through long years of research, Gottman studied married couples and noted degenerative behaviors that hindered the formation and attainment of a long and healthy marriage.

There are two kinds of husbands in society; one who lacks respect, loyalty, faithfulness, and responsibility toward their spouse, and the other one who contains all the attributions of a prince charming. Based on the husband’s culture, it will...
Initially going into reading this play, I thought it would just be a traditional telling of the environment, setting, and little information about our protagonist. However, I seemed a little odd that the setting was just describing the scenery of the play itself with curtains and we are introduced to the stage manager for the play. The Stage Manager explains significant parts within the play like, scenery, landmarks, and certain objects. Few pages in, we’re finally introduced to two actual character in the play itself. Joe Crowell Jr. and Dr. Gibbs are the characters we are introduced to. As explained by the Stage Manager, Crowell was a college graduate from Massachusetts Tech. However, there was “the war” came to France. This war being World

His husband’s attention to do the housework appears when he “overheard a friend of his wife 's congratulate her on having such a considerate husband.” (1, Tobias
Which means that in this society family is top priority. To the women is this era, loyalty to their loved ones is highly expected.
When we think of marriage, the first thing that comes to mind is having a lasting relationship. Marriage is a commitment of two people to one another and to each other?s family, bonded by holy matrimony. When a couple plans to marry, they think of raising a family together, dedicating their life to each other. That?s the circle of life--our natural instinct to live and produce children and have those children demonstrate your own good morals. I have never been married; but I don?t understand why when two people get married and vow to be together for richer and poorer, better or worse, decide to just forget about that commitment. A marriage should be the most important decision a person makes in his or her life.

The man or father figure goes to work so that he can provide for his family. Many people believe that this is the way that things should be. Gender determines the expectations for the family. This review will explain those expectations and how it affects the family.
