Tune into your wife’s feelings.
A woman needs to feel heard and validated. If she feels dismissed or shutdown, she will pull away in her communication, and emotional and physical connection.
Women are emotionally wired so for her it is about how something makes her feel. How your tone of voice makes her feel. How your body language, facial expressions and words make her feel.
How an issue or conflict makes her feel.
Don’t try to problem solve to connect with her. If you are trying to connect with your wife, connect with her heart.
Even if you don’t agree with how she is feeling about an issue, though it affects you in some way, the way she feels, ultimately isn’t about you.
Men often react defensively when a woman tries to communicate their feelings to their partner. She needs her feelings validated, understood and heard.
When a man reacts defensively to a woman’s feelings, this results in the woman pulling back and shutting down.
If you don’t agree with what your partner is saying, about the negative way she believes you feel about her, instead of defending yourself, thus dismissing her feelings, reassure her how much you love her and validate the way she feels.
When reassuring her, don’t let this be the only time you say this.
Show her in other ways how much you love her.
Connecting emotionally to her will strengthen communication, trust, friendship and the emotional and physical connection.
