12 Needs Women Have in Relationships

It’s not as complicated as you think.

There is perhaps no greater mystery to the heterosexual male human than: “What do women want?”

I believe that part of the reason the answer has remained so elusive for generations is because, well, it’s the wrong question.

We all have things that we “want,” but beneath them, at the core, is the deeper reason why we want it. The “need” we are looking to fill by getting what we want.

The better question, then, is how can we work to meet the needs of the woman we love?

Any time I write a piece like this, I’m met with “James, it goes both ways, men have needs, too!” comments.

Yeah, we know that. We all know that happy and healthy relationships must go both ways. We all understand it’s a mutual effort. Just because an article discusses a woman’s needs doesn’t mean the man’s needs are invalid. I’ve got plenty of articles on that topic, too. Here’s a good one.

Anyway, enough feeding the trolls, let’s dive into the reason why you clicked on this article in the first place.
