When you first got together, you were probably really good friends and both of your needs were met. You talked about a lot of things, did a lot of things together, and you sex life was great. Then, when stressors hit, such as work, illness, or financial problems, you probably stopped paying as much attention to each other, and started taking each other for granted. Instead of meeting each other’s needs, you argued and fought about them instead.
There are 10 basic emotional needs that most marriages require. Women’s needs differ from men’s needs. We will help you to identify your most important needs, and help you talk openly and honestly about them, so you can start over as a couple, and walk out of your past.
