What is it that every husband longs for from his wife?\u00a0 The answer, according to author and researcher Shaunti Feldhahn, may surprise you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> For men, their highest need is not to feel loved and cherished, as it is ours.\u00a0 It's to feel respected by us and trusted by us and, in fact, we can spend so much time trying to show our husbands that we love them, saying, \"I love you,\" and doing all these things to show love, but if we tease them in public or make them think we don't respect their decisions or don't trust when they make a choice, they will feel disrespected, and they won't feel loved.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> This is FamilyLife Today for Monday, May 5th.\u00a0 I'm Bob Lepine along with the president of FamilyLife, Dennis Rainey.\u00a0 We'll hear today about a recent survey of more than 1,000 men, and some of the results may surprise you.\u00a0 Stay tuned. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to FamilyLife Today, thanks for joining us.\u00a0 Have you ever wondered what is it that guys \u2013 what makes them tick?\u00a0 Have you ever wondered that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yeah \u2013 yeah, I have.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You say that kind of slowly.\u00a0 Have you figured it out yet?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Uh, no.\u00a0 Yeah, I think, I mean, you know, it's usually said men can't understand women, I frankly think sometimes we, as men, are pretty difficult to understand as well.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Why is that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, I'm not sure.\u00a0 I think God created us to be different.\u00a0 I do know that a little bit of the hint of the differences between men and women is found in one of the least-quoted verses in a very famous passage in Ephesians, chapter 5.\u00a0 It's a passage that the Apostle Paul exhorts husbands to love their wives and wives to submit to their husbands, but the last verse, verse 33 \u2013 I want to read this to you because it has something to do with what we're going to talk about today.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPaul writes, \"Nevertheless, let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife\" \u2013 now, notice what the wife is commanded here \u2013 \"and let the wife see to it that she respect her husband.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, there's really no command in Scripture, I don't think, for a wife to love her husband.\u00a0 There is a command for the husband to love the wife, but the wife is commanded to respect her husband.\u00a0 Why is that?\u00a0 Well, I think, as we're going to find out on today's broadcast, men have a unique need to be respected, and we have a lady here who has done a great deal of research.\u00a0 In fact, she's talked to over 1,000 men \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Not personally, I assume, is that right?\u00a0 You didn't call them all?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> No, not personally \u2013 a lot of them personally but not all of them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, you did describe it as crawling into their minds and trying to better understand them, is that right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> That's exactly what it felt like \u2013 sort of a foreign world, in some ways.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, Shaunti Feldhahn joins us on FamilyLife Today.\u00a0 She has written a book called \"For Women Only.\"\u00a0 She is a bestselling author, a newspaper columnist out of Atlanta for The Atlanta Journal Constitution.\u00a0 You have a weekly column on women's and popular culture issues.\u00a0 What kind of things would you write about?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Really, anything and everything \u2013 anything related to politics, the hot-button issues of the day, current issues, family stuff, sort of, anything I think that really impacts the culture.\u00a0 I feel like there are very few evangelical Christians that have an opportunity to speak into the culture in that way.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I want to find out more of what motivated you to crawl into the minds of men \u2013 1,000 men \u2013 to better understand what they're thinking and how they're wired?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> You know, actually, it's interesting, Dennis, it actually started because I was writing my last novel, and one of my main characters was a guy, and he was a good, Christian husband and father, and you really realize, as a woman, how little you really understand about how men are thinking when you actually have to write their thoughts.\u00a0 You can't just describe their actions.\u00a0 You have to actually say what this male character is thinking.\u00a0 I had no idea.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, in preparation, Shaunti, for this interview and the time in the studio, we went to some men and asked them how they felt when their wives showed disrespect to them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Mm-hm, did a little research of our own.\u00a0 In fact, let's hear what these guys had to say.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Man:<\/strong> When you feel disrespected, again, you're thinking about times, \"Well, if she respected me, she would behave differently, or she would not have submarined me in my decision with the kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Man:<\/strong> My normal reaction when I do have conflict with her is not feeling respected.\u00a0 Now, that may not be true, you know, it may be that I just heard it wrong or she communicated it a little bit too roughly and, really, the motivation behind what was going on had nothing to do with disrespect, but maybe it's a feeling of insecurity in that area, but I really need to know that Kathy respects me.\u00a0 And so when she may say or do something where I feel that's been violated in some way, it really hurts me deeply.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Man:<\/strong> In parenting issues, where maybe I would have done something differently than the way she did and not being willing to allow me to at least follow through, and so I felt disrespected \u2013 not being able to carry out what I thought was right in a situation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Bob, you know, what's interesting as you listen to that is I can identify with some of those statements; I'm wondering if you can, too.\u00a0 Which statement did you most identify with?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Danger, danger.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yeah, because I'm going to tell you mine.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Okay, well, before I tell you, honey, just go ahead and turn the radio off now, if you would, and get busy doing something else.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We're not bad-mouthing our wives here.\u00a0 We're just talking about how we feel when this occurs, and if you're going to have two people who live in close proximity in marriage, there are going to be moments when you feel disrespected.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think, for me, the sense of disrespect comes when you \u2013 and it's not anything that Mary Ann will say or do.\u00a0 It's just you have this sense that she's thinking, \"Your ideas are wrong.\"\u00a0 There's a certainty that she has about the way she thinks things ought to go, and you feel like, \"Well, then, you're just wrong, and I can't even imagine why you would think that way.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And, at that point, what I feel is what that one man said \u2013 I don't feel trusted.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> This is one of the things that women find absolutely flabbergasting, in all honesty.\u00a0 We simply don't get this, because it is, in many cases, in most cases, not the way that we are wired.\u00a0 And what we tend not to realize is that where our highest need is to feel loved and cherished by the men in our life, in our husband's case, if we're married, it is the highest need is to feel respected.\u00a0 I did this in the survey because, frankly, when I was right out of college, I went on a retreat where the speaker demonstrated this so powerfully, and let me tell you the story really briefly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe basically took 70 people on a singles retreat about relationships.\u00a0 He put us on two different sides of the room.\u00a0 He put all the men on one side of the room and all the women on the other side of the room, and he said, \"Let me ask you this question.\u00a0 I'm going to ask you to choose between two bad feelings and ask you to choose which you would \u2013 if you had to \u2013 which you would prefer.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWould you rather feel alone and unloved in the world or would you rather feel inadequate and disrespected?\u00a0 Okay, both bad feelings \u2013 which is the least bad?\u00a0 He turned to the men's side of the room and said, \"Men, who here would rather feel alone and unloved?\"\u00a0 And every hand went up, and you could hear this giant gasp from the women's side of the room.\u00a0 And he turned to the women and said, \"Women, who here would rather feel alone and unloved,\" and very few women raised their hands.\u00a0 And when he said, \"Who here would rather feel inadequate and disrespected, and almost all the women raised their hands, you heard the gasp from the men's side of the room. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd what this retreat speaker was demonstrating is the same thing I found when I asked that question on the survey, which is that, for men, their highest need is not to feel loved and cherished as it is ours.\u00a0 It's to feel respected by us and trusted by us like some of the men in those quotes said.\u00a0 In fact, we can spend so much time trying to show our husbands that we love them, saying, \"I love you,\" and doing all these things to show love, but if we tease them in public or make them think we don't respect their decisions or don't trust when they make a choice, they will feel disrespected, and they won't feel loved.\u00a0 It is absolutely imperative for us women to get this.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, and it can happen in such small ways.\u00a0 The other night we were in a grocery store, and I started to pick up something.\u00a0 I don't even remember what it was \u2013 Barbara said, \"You're not going to get that, are you?\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I was.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You were getting some kind of chips.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I really was.\u00a0 I said, \"No, that's a terrible idea.\u00a0 Who would want, in all their lifetimes, to buy one of those?\"\u00a0 And I walked away, and I remember thinking at the time, I remember thinking, \"I really feel a little disrespected in that\" \u2013 that my choice of what I wanted to get in the grocery store was either a stupid choice or not a wise choice, you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> And this is the thing that our husbands have a really hard time understanding, and I'll say this to all the men out there who are listening.\u00a0 Most of us women, we really, truly do respect the men in our lives, and we have no idea that all day, every day, we're sending these signals to the contrary.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy husband, God bless him, he's had to put up with so much from me because I've been sending those signals for years without realizing it, and I bet many of the women out there would be absolutely flabbergasted to know that that is what their husbands often think of them \u2013 that they're sending.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Now, you're a graduate of Harvard.\u00a0 You've got a degree.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Believe it or not, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> A master's degree \u2013 you were headed toward a political career, all right?\u00a0 Do you think all that education and all that knowledge puts you in a \u2013 well, throws you into a situation with your husband where you could be tempted to maybe display disrespect for your husband a little more frequently than maybe the average woman?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> You know, perhaps, very likely, and the other thing that I think many of us women out there, you know, no matter what our level of education is, is we just don't realize that sometimes it's not even what we say, it's how we say it.\u00a0 And whether you're coming at him rapid-fire with all the reasons why he shouldn't do such-and-such, or whether it's just taking a tone that he interprets as being harsh.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLet me give you an example, actually, that I found absolutely \u2013 again, flabbergasting.\u00a0 This was a common word that I used in doing this research \u2013 I was trying to design the survey.\u00a0 I did a national survey of men, hired a professional survey company, and one of the questions I was designing with a guy who is a professional survey designer, and here is the question I was asking \u2013 it was on the subject of romance and whether a man wants to be romantic, and the question I asked was \"Do you know how to put together a romantic event that your wife would enjoy?\"\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOkay, to me, that's just a neutral question.\u00a0 The survey designer, this guy, says, \"You can't say that because you're starting out in attack mode,\" and I go, \"Huh?\u00a0 Attack mode?\"\u00a0 And he said, \"Yes, you're starting off implying the man is inept.\"\u00a0 And I'm thinking to myself, \"Implying the man is inept, what are you talking about?\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd he suggested just adding a little softening phrase up front \u2013 \"Suppose you had to plan an anniversary event for your wife\" \u2013 but when I just started off as \"Do you know how\" \u2013 he said every man is going to interpret that as sort of the implication that you're inept.\u00a0 I realized, \"Oh, my goodness, I do this over and over and over with my husband,\" and most of us women are completely clueless about this.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I'm going to stop you there, because there will be some women right now who are listening who would say, \"Yes, they're just insecure, they need to get over it.\u00a0 They just need to put their pants on one leg at a time and\" \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It doesn't sound very manly to me, you know, for a guy who would get all bent out of shape because I asked \"Why did you do that?\"\u00a0 I mean, that's a simple question.\u00a0 Why is a guy going to \u2013 he's just a wimp.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Well, you know, if I can say one of the other things that was such a surprise, because, by the way, really, everything I put in this book is only about things we women don't get about men, and one of the things we really don't get is that a man can walk around looking very confident all day long, but most men are secretly very insecure and, really, what I found from the men that I interviewed is they go through life basically feeling like \"I'm really not sure what on earth I'm doing, and somebody is going to find out.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that feeling, as one man said, it does not stop when I walk through the door at home.\u00a0 In fact, it's almost a little easier at work because at work at least I have some idea of whether I'm doing a good job, you know, I'm getting raises or promotions or good comments from my boss.\u00a0 How do I know whether I'm doing a good job of being a good husband or a good dad?\u00a0 Well, it's the happiness of my wife, it's the happiness of my family.\u00a0 So if my wife is critical all the time or implies that she doesn't trust me regularly or teases me in front of our friends, then all it does is it basically reaffirms the secret feeling I already had about myself, which is I have no idea what I'm doing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> In fact, if my wife says, \"You know, this isn't about you, I'm just having a bad day.\"\u00a0 That doesn't wash with me because if I'm a good husband \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> She won't have a bad day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I should be able to overcome bad days.\u00a0 I mean, that's a part of what a guy \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Her bad days.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\u00a0 If she's having a bad day, I should be able to come in and make that magically go away.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Rescue her.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> That's right, fix things for her.\u00a0 You know, if Calgon can make your troubles go away, certainly a husband ought to be able to do that, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> And, you know, that's one of the things, honestly, Bob, that we women have to recognize, and this is one of the things over and over again, as I was interviewing these men, I kept realizing we are just not giving the men in our lives enough credit for the fact that they go through their day with this enormous sense of responsibility and desire to make us happy.\u00a0 So, as somebody said, \"I would run through a brick wall for my wife, I just want to know that I'm doing a good job as a husband and as a dad.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was talking to a man who has a marriage ministry actually called \"Love and Respect,\" and it deals with exactly this issue, and he pointed out something that I heard over and over from men but couldn't quite put my finger on.\u00a0 He said, \"You know, we have become such a love-dominated culture that we've come to believe that where love is to be unconditional, respect must be earned.\"\u00a0 And I realized, \"Yes, okay, I'd agree with that.\"\u00a0 And as I was reading Ephesians 5 and looking at this great passage on marriage, you realize that is a completely unbiblical idea in marriage and that God commands over and over for the husband \u2013 love the wife, love your wife, love your wife unconditionally as Christ loved the church.\u00a0 What does it say over and over to us women \u2013 respect your husband, follow his leadership, show him that respect.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tJust the same way, when we demonstrate, you know what?\u00a0 I'm going to choose to respect you.\u00a0 I'm going to choose to trust that decision and not complain about it or question it.\u00a0 It builds him up to want to be the man that God created him to be.\u00a0 It's absolutely a wonderful paradox.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> How have your findings from the book that you've written here \u2013 how has it changed you, as a woman?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, man, Bob, I wish my husband were in the studio.\u00a0 It has absolutely transformed so many things in my life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, hold it, hold it, hold it.\u00a0 He's got a cell phone, doesn't he?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Yes, he does.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Let's find out, let's get his number.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Let's call him right now, and let's \u2013 we'll just see if the proof is in the pudding right here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> See what he thinks.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, no.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Have we got him?\u00a0 I just want you to know, Jeff, this was all her idea.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Yes, I'm sure it is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> No, it was not her idea at all, Jeff, but we do have this lady in our studio who wrote a book called \"For Women Only.\" \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> I've heard a little bit about it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I'll bet you have.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And I'm going to ask Bob to re-ask a question of you that he just asked Shaunti.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Oh,boy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So, Jeff, has the research that Shaunti has done on this book, has it changed her, as a woman?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Absolutely, it has.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Whew, man, we're relieved here in the studio.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> The coolest thing is \u2013 she is a student, and if she doesn't understand something, she isn't just content, as most guys are, to nod their head when they hear something and go, \"Hm, all right, yeah, I understand,\" and then have no idea what was going on.\u00a0 She actually tries to figure it out, and it can be a little daunting at times when she's trying to figure out what's inside of me.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay, okay, so how has she shown you more respect as her husband?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Oh, I can tell so many times \u2013 I've got a startup business that's been in startup mode for quite some time, and there's a number of times when I'm sure she would have some advice that she could offer.\u00a0 While she offers it, but she offers it in ways that I just don't feel threatened by.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Does she offer it differently than the way the old Shaunti used to offer ideas?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Sure, absolutely.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Like how would the old Shaunti have done it, Jeff?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, no.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> She'd say something like, \"Well, why don't you do this?\"\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And that's where you could add the \"You bonehead\" at the end, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Yes, and it would just get my hackles up and all that sort of stuff, and I would come up with being excited with an idea, and then she would say, \"Well, why don't you do it this way?\"\u00a0 And I would think that was just like a bucket of cold water slapped right on top of me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So what does the new Shaunti do?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> She'll go, \"That's interesting, that's a good thought, that's a good thought, maybe we can talk about it, if you want, and maybe I can offer you any kind of thoughts.\"\u00a0 Where, at that point, it seems very non-threatening to me.\u00a0 It seems like it's more collaborative than her telling me the best way to do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You know, it makes it easier to go to Shaunti's School of Business when she's softened it like that, doesn't it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Absolutely right.\u00a0 I'm willing to listen at that point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And so you, as a man, feel bowed up, you feel respected, your chest is out, you feel like you could lead, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Totally, absolutely.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Anything respectful you'd like to say to Jeff, Shaunti?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, I'll tell him the same thing that I always tell wives to tell their husbands, which is, \"I'm really proud of you, honey.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> There we go, huh?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Way to answer the questions, Jeff.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Thanks for being with us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Thanks, buddy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You're a good sport.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, I'd say you passed the test on that one, huh?\u00a0 You did all right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Red-faced.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It really is cool that he authenticated the message of your book, though.\u00a0 And that's really what you're saying to wives \u2013 if they'll understand what's going on in their husband's head and heart, and that it's okay for a man to need to be respected and that a wife can, with her attitude, with her actions, and with her words, affirm her husband and say to him, \"I'm proud of you.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> It's a totally legitimate need.\u00a0 You know what we were talking about before we came into the studio, which I think is really important for us to recognize is I personally think that although there has been a lot of good that's come out of the women's movement, it's given us women this very subtle sense that \u2013 you know, we women are really the ones with the interpersonal skills, and so therefore if there is a problem in the relationship, it's probably him and therefore he just needs to learn how to relate better.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd what we're really saying is he needs to relate our way as opposed to recognizing what I heard from all these men, which is, in most cases, the way that a guy is wired to relate is totally legitimate.\u00a0 And just the way we want him to move in our direction, to learn how to support and love us the way we need to be loved \u2013 we need to suddenly realize, \"Wait a minute, why should I not move in his direction to support and love him the way he needs to be loved?\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You know, there have been plenty of books we've talked about on FamilyLife Today where wives have called us and said, \"I need to get this for my husband.\"\u00a0 This is one of those books where I think we've got some men listening who are going, \"I think I may need to call and get that book and pass it on to my wife.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You think?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Because I think maybe you understand what I think and how I've been feeling and have never been able to express to my wife.\u00a0 And we've got copies of Shaunti's book in our FamilyLife Resource Center.\u00a0 It's called \"For Women Only.\" You can go to our website at FamilyLife.com, and on the right side of the home page, you'll see a box that says \"Today's Broadcast,\" and if you click where it says, \"Learn More,\" it will take you to an area of the site where there is more information about the book, \"For Women Only,\" by Shaunti Feldhahn.\u00a0 You can order online, if you'd like, or you can call us to order at 1-800-FLTODAY, that's 1-800-358-6329, 1-800-F-as-in-family, L-as-in-life, and then the word TODAY.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBy the way, Shaunti has just written the foreword for Dr. Robert Lewis's enw book for women called \"The New Eve,\" and we have that book in our FamilyLife Resource Center as well, and if our listeners are interested in getting both books together, we'll send along at no additional cost the CD audio of our conversation this week.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou can, gain, order online at FamilyLife.com or, if it's easier, just call us at 1-800-F-as-in-family, L-as-in-life, and then the word TODAY, and we'll make arrangements to have the resources you need sent out to you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd we want to ask you to consider something when you get in touch with us this week.\u00a0 Some of you may know that FamilyLife Today has received a very generous challenge from some of our friends.\u00a0 These folks wanted to see more FamilyLife Today listeners join with us and make a donation to the ministry of FamilyLife Today so that we can continue to be heard on this station and on other stations all across the country.\u00a0 So they agreed that they would match every donation that we receive here at FamilyLife during the month of May on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to a total of $635,000.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, that means that we need a lot of FamilyLife Today listeners who make $25 or $50 or $75 or $100 donations in order for those donations to be matched and for us to take full advantage of this $635,000 matching gift.\u00a0 So we're coming to our listeners and saying, \"Will you help us out?\u00a0 Will you either go online and make a donation at FamilyLife.com or call 1-800-FLTODAY and make a donation over the phone?\"\u00a0 When you do, your donation will be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and you'll be helping us head into the summer months when donations are generally a little slower with some money that will help get us through the summer months.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, again, if you can donate online at FamilyLife.com or by calling 1-800-FLTODAY, we would appreciate hearing from you.\u00a0 Any donation matters during this matching gift opportunity, and we hope to hear from you with a donation of any amount.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, tomorrow we want to talk about the longing and desire in the heart of a husband for intimacy, and some of what we're going to talk about tomorrow may surprise you.\u00a0 I hope you can be back with us for that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want to thank our engineer today, Keith Lynch, and our entire broadcast production team.\u00a0 On behalf of our host, Dennis Rainey, I'm Bob Lepine.\u00a0 We'll see you next time for another edition of FamilyLife Today. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFamilyLife Today is a production of FamilyLife of Little Rock, Arkansas \u2013 help for today; hope

husband longs for from his wife?\u00a0 The answer, according to author and researcher Shaunti Feldhahn, may surprise you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> For men, their highest need is not to feel loved and cherished, as it is ours.\u00a0 It's to feel respected by us and trusted by us and, in fact, we can spend so much time trying to show our husbands that we love them, saying, \"I love you,\" and doing all these things to show love, but if we tease them in public or make them think we don't respect their decisions or don't trust when they make a choice, they will feel disrespected, and they won't feel loved.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> This is FamilyLife Today for Monday, May 5th.\u00a0 I'm Bob Lepine along with the president of FamilyLife, Dennis Rainey.\u00a0 We'll hear today about a recent survey of more than 1,000 men, and some of the results may surprise you.\u00a0 Stay tuned. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to FamilyLife Today, thanks for joining us.\u00a0 Have you ever wondered what is it that guys \u2013 what makes them tick?\u00a0 Have you ever wondered that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yeah \u2013 yeah, I have.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You say that kind of slowly.\u00a0 Have you figured it out yet?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Uh, no.\u00a0 Yeah, I think, I mean, you know, it's usually said men can't understand women, I frankly think sometimes we, as men, are pretty difficult to understand as well.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Why is that?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, I'm not sure.\u00a0 I think God created us to be different.\u00a0 I do know that a little bit of the hint of the differences between men and women is found in one of the least-quoted verses in a very famous passage in Ephesians, chapter 5.\u00a0 It's a passage that the Apostle Paul exhorts husbands to love their wives and wives to submit to their husbands, but the last verse, verse 33 \u2013 I want to read this to you because it has something to do with what we're going to talk about today.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPaul writes, \"Nevertheless, let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife\" \u2013 now, notice what the wife is commanded here \u2013 \"and let the wife see to it that she respect her husband.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, there's really no command in Scripture, I don't think, for a wife to love her husband.\u00a0 There is a command for the husband to love the wife, but the wife is commanded to respect her husband.\u00a0 Why is that?\u00a0 Well, I think, as we're going to find out on today's broadcast, men have a unique need to be respected, and we have a lady here who has done a great deal of research.\u00a0 In fact, she's talked to over 1,000 men \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Not personally, I assume, is that right?\u00a0 You didn't call them all?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> No, not personally \u2013 a lot of them personally but not all of them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, you did describe it as crawling into their minds and trying to better understand them, is that right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> That's exactly what it felt like \u2013 sort of a foreign world, in some ways.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, Shaunti Feldhahn joins us on FamilyLife Today.\u00a0 She has written a book called \"For Women Only.\"\u00a0 She is a bestselling author, a newspaper columnist out of Atlanta for The Atlanta Journal Constitution.\u00a0 You have a weekly column on women's and popular culture issues.\u00a0 What kind of things would you write about?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Really, anything and everything \u2013 anything related to politics, the hot-button issues of the day, current issues, family stuff, sort of, anything I think that really impacts the culture.\u00a0 I feel like there are very few evangelical Christians that have an opportunity to speak into the culture in that way.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I want to find out more of what motivated you to crawl into the minds of men \u2013 1,000 men \u2013 to better understand what they're thinking and how they're wired?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> You know, actually, it's interesting, Dennis, it actually started because I was writing my last novel, and one of my main characters was a guy, and he was a good, Christian husband and father, and you really realize, as a woman, how little you really understand about how men are thinking when you actually have to write their thoughts.\u00a0 You can't just describe their actions.\u00a0 You have to actually say what this male character is thinking.\u00a0 I had no idea.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, in preparation, Shaunti, for this interview and the time in the studio, we went to some men and asked them how they felt when their wives showed disrespect to them.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Mm-hm, did a little research of our own.\u00a0 In fact, let's hear what these guys had to say.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Man:<\/strong> When you feel disrespected, again, you're thinking about times, \"Well, if she respected me, she would behave differently, or she would not have submarined me in my decision with the kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Man:<\/strong> My normal reaction when I do have conflict with her is not feeling respected.\u00a0 Now, that may not be true, you know, it may be that I just heard it wrong or she communicated it a little bit too roughly and, really, the motivation behind what was going on had nothing to do with disrespect, but maybe it's a feeling of insecurity in that area, but I really need to know that Kathy respects me.\u00a0 And so when she may say or do something where I feel that's been violated in some way, it really hurts me deeply.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Man:<\/strong> In parenting issues, where maybe I would have done something differently than the way she did and not being willing to allow me to at least follow through, and so I felt disrespected \u2013 not being able to carry out what I thought was right in a situation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Bob, you know, what's interesting as you listen to that is I can identify with some of those statements; I'm wondering if you can, too.\u00a0 Which statement did you most identify with?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Danger, danger.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yeah, because I'm going to tell you mine.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Okay, well, before I tell you, honey, just go ahead and turn the radio off now, if you would, and get busy doing something else.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> We're not bad-mouthing our wives here.\u00a0 We're just talking about how we feel when this occurs, and if you're going to have two people who live in close proximity in marriage, there are going to be moments when you feel disrespected.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think, for me, the sense of disrespect comes when you \u2013 and it's not anything that Mary Ann will say or do.\u00a0 It's just you have this sense that she's thinking, \"Your ideas are wrong.\"\u00a0 There's a certainty that she has about the way she thinks things ought to go, and you feel like, \"Well, then, you're just wrong, and I can't even imagine why you would think that way.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And, at that point, what I feel is what that one man said \u2013 I don't feel trusted.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> This is one of the things that women find absolutely flabbergasting, in all honesty.\u00a0 We simply don't get this, because it is, in many cases, in most cases, not the way that we are wired.\u00a0 And what we tend not to realize is that where our highest need is to feel loved and cherished by the men in our life, in our husband's case, if we're married, it is the highest need is to feel respected.\u00a0 I did this in the survey because, frankly, when I was right out of college, I went on a retreat where the speaker demonstrated this so powerfully, and let me tell you the story really briefly.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe basically took 70 people on a singles retreat about relationships.\u00a0 He put us on two different sides of the room.\u00a0 He put all the men on one side of the room and all the women on the other side of the room, and he said, \"Let me ask you this question.\u00a0 I'm going to ask you to choose between two bad feelings and ask you to choose which you would \u2013 if you had to \u2013 which you would prefer.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWould you rather feel alone and unloved in the world or would you rather feel inadequate and disrespected?\u00a0 Okay, both bad feelings \u2013 which is the least bad?\u00a0 He turned to the men's side of the room and said, \"Men, who here would rather feel alone and unloved?\"\u00a0 And every hand went up, and you could hear this giant gasp from the women's side of the room.\u00a0 And he turned to the women and said, \"Women, who here would rather feel alone and unloved,\" and very few women raised their hands.\u00a0 And when he said, \"Who here would rather feel inadequate and disrespected, and almost all the women raised their hands, you heard the gasp from the men's side of the room. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd what this retreat speaker was demonstrating is the same thing I found when I asked that question on the survey, which is that, for men, their highest need is not to feel loved and cherished as it is ours.\u00a0 It's to feel respected by us and trusted by us like some of the men in those quotes said.\u00a0 In fact, we can spend so much time trying to show our husbands that we love them, saying, \"I love you,\" and doing all these things to show love, but if we tease them in public or make them think we don't respect their decisions or don't trust when they make a choice, they will feel disrespected, and they won't feel loved.\u00a0 It is absolutely imperative for us women to get this.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, and it can happen in such small ways.\u00a0 The other night we were in a grocery store, and I started to pick up something.\u00a0 I don't even remember what it was \u2013 Barbara said, \"You're not going to get that, are you?\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I was.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You were getting some kind of chips.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I really was.\u00a0 I said, \"No, that's a terrible idea.\u00a0 Who would want, in all their lifetimes, to buy one of those?\"\u00a0 And I walked away, and I remember thinking at the time, I remember thinking, \"I really feel a little disrespected in that\" \u2013 that my choice of what I wanted to get in the grocery store was either a stupid choice or not a wise choice, you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> And this is the thing that our husbands have a really hard time understanding, and I'll say this to all the men out there who are listening.\u00a0 Most of us women, we really, truly do respect the men in our lives, and we have no idea that all day, every day, we're sending these signals to the contrary.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy husband, God bless him, he's had to put up with so much from me because I've been sending those signals for years without realizing it, and I bet many of the women out there would be absolutely flabbergasted to know that that is what their husbands often think of them \u2013 that they're sending.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Now, you're a graduate of Harvard.\u00a0 You've got a degree.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Believe it or not, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> A master's degree \u2013 you were headed toward a political career, all right?\u00a0 Do you think all that education and all that knowledge puts you in a \u2013 well, throws you into a situation with your husband where you could be tempted to maybe display disrespect for your husband a little more frequently than maybe the average woman?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> You know, perhaps, very likely, and the other thing that I think many of us women out there, you know, no matter what our level of education is, is we just don't realize that sometimes it's not even what we say, it's how we say it.\u00a0 And whether you're coming at him rapid-fire with all the reasons why he shouldn't do such-and-such, or whether it's just taking a tone that he interprets as being harsh.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLet me give you an example, actually, that I found absolutely \u2013 again, flabbergasting.\u00a0 This was a common word that I used in doing this research \u2013 I was trying to design the survey.\u00a0 I did a national survey of men, hired a professional survey company, and one of the questions I was designing with a guy who is a professional survey designer, and here is the question I was asking \u2013 it was on the subject of romance and whether a man wants to be romantic, and the question I asked was \"Do you know how to put together a romantic event that your wife would enjoy?\"\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOkay, to me, that's just a neutral question.\u00a0 The survey designer, this guy, says, \"You can't say that because you're starting out in attack mode,\" and I go, \"Huh?\u00a0 Attack mode?\"\u00a0 And he said, \"Yes, you're starting off implying the man is inept.\"\u00a0 And I'm thinking to myself, \"Implying the man is inept, what are you talking about?\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd he suggested just adding a little softening phrase up front \u2013 \"Suppose you had to plan an anniversary event for your wife\" \u2013 but when I just started off as \"Do you know how\" \u2013 he said every man is going to interpret that as sort of the implication that you're inept.\u00a0 I realized, \"Oh, my goodness, I do this over and over and over with my husband,\" and most of us women are completely clueless about this.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I'm going to stop you there, because there will be some women right now who are listening who would say, \"Yes, they're just insecure, they need to get over it.\u00a0 They just need to put their pants on one leg at a time and\" \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> It doesn't sound very manly to me, you know, for a guy who would get all bent out of shape because I asked \"Why did you do that?\"\u00a0 I mean, that's a simple question.\u00a0 Why is a guy going to \u2013 he's just a wimp.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Well, you know, if I can say one of the other things that was such a surprise, because, by the way, really, everything I put in this book is only about things we women don't get about men, and one of the things we really don't get is that a man can walk around looking very confident all day long, but most men are secretly very insecure and, really, what I found from the men that I interviewed is they go through life basically feeling like \"I'm really not sure what on earth I'm doing, and somebody is going to find out.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that feeling, as one man said, it does not stop when I walk through the door at home.\u00a0 In fact, it's almost a little easier at work because at work at least I have some idea of whether I'm doing a good job, you know, I'm getting raises or promotions or good comments from my boss.\u00a0 How do I know whether I'm doing a good job of being a good husband or a good dad?\u00a0 Well, it's the happiness of my wife, it's the happiness of my family.\u00a0 So if my wife is critical all the time or implies that she doesn't trust me regularly or teases me in front of our friends, then all it does is it basically reaffirms the secret feeling I already had about myself, which is I have no idea what I'm doing.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> In fact, if my wife says, \"You know, this isn't about you, I'm just having a bad day.\"\u00a0 That doesn't wash with me because if I'm a good husband \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> She won't have a bad day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I should be able to overcome bad days.\u00a0 I mean, that's a part of what a guy \u2026\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Her bad days.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\u00a0 If she's having a bad day, I should be able to come in and make that magically go away.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Rescue her.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> That's right, fix things for her.\u00a0 You know, if Calgon can make your troubles go away, certainly a husband ought to be able to do that, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> And, you know, that's one of the things, honestly, Bob, that we women have to recognize, and this is one of the things over and over again, as I was interviewing these men, I kept realizing we are just not giving the men in our lives enough credit for the fact that they go through their day with this enormous sense of responsibility and desire to make us happy.\u00a0 So, as somebody said, \"I would run through a brick wall for my wife, I just want to know that I'm doing a good job as a husband and as a dad.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI was talking to a man who has a marriage ministry actually called \"Love and Respect,\" and it deals with exactly this issue, and he pointed out something that I heard over and over from men but couldn't quite put my finger on.\u00a0 He said, \"You know, we have become such a love-dominated culture that we've come to believe that where love is to be unconditional, respect must be earned.\"\u00a0 And I realized, \"Yes, okay, I'd agree with that.\"\u00a0 And as I was reading Ephesians 5 and looking at this great passage on marriage, you realize that is a completely unbiblical idea in marriage and that God commands over and over for the husband \u2013 love the wife, love your wife, love your wife unconditionally as Christ loved the church.\u00a0 What does it say over and over to us women \u2013 respect your husband, follow his leadership, show him that respect.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tJust the same way, when we demonstrate, you know what?\u00a0 I'm going to choose to respect you.\u00a0 I'm going to choose to trust that decision and not complain about it or question it.\u00a0 It builds him up to want to be the man that God created him to be.\u00a0 It's absolutely a wonderful paradox.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> How have your findings from the book that you've written here \u2013 how has it changed you, as a woman?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, man, Bob, I wish my husband were in the studio.\u00a0 It has absolutely transformed so many things in my life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, hold it, hold it, hold it.\u00a0 He's got a cell phone, doesn't he?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Yes, he does.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Let's find out, let's get his number.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Let's call him right now, and let's \u2013 we'll just see if the proof is in the pudding right here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> See what he thinks.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, no.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Have we got him?\u00a0 I just want you to know, Jeff, this was all her idea.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Yes, I'm sure it is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> No, it was not her idea at all, Jeff, but we do have this lady in our studio who wrote a book called \"For Women Only.\" \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> I've heard a little bit about it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I'll bet you have.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And I'm going to ask Bob to re-ask a question of you that he just asked Shaunti.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Oh,boy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So, Jeff, has the research that Shaunti has done on this book, has it changed her, as a woman?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Absolutely, it has.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Whew, man, we're relieved here in the studio.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> The coolest thing is \u2013 she is a student, and if she doesn't understand something, she isn't just content, as most guys are, to nod their head when they hear something and go, \"Hm, all right, yeah, I understand,\" and then have no idea what was going on.\u00a0 She actually tries to figure it out, and it can be a little daunting at times when she's trying to figure out what's inside of me.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Okay, okay, so how has she shown you more respect as her husband?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Oh, I can tell so many times \u2013 I've got a startup business that's been in startup mode for quite some time, and there's a number of times when I'm sure she would have some advice that she could offer.\u00a0 While she offers it, but she offers it in ways that I just don't feel threatened by.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Does she offer it differently than the way the old Shaunti used to offer ideas?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Sure, absolutely.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Like how would the old Shaunti have done it, Jeff?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, no.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> She'd say something like, \"Well, why don't you do this?\"\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And that's where you could add the \"You bonehead\" at the end, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Yes, and it would just get my hackles up and all that sort of stuff, and I would come up with being excited with an idea, and then she would say, \"Well, why don't you do it this way?\"\u00a0 And I would think that was just like a bucket of cold water slapped right on top of me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So what does the new Shaunti do?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> She'll go, \"That's interesting, that's a good thought, that's a good thought, maybe we can talk about it, if you want, and maybe I can offer you any kind of thoughts.\"\u00a0 Where, at that point, it seems very non-threatening to me.\u00a0 It seems like it's more collaborative than her telling me the best way to do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You know, it makes it easier to go to Shaunti's School of Business when she's softened it like that, doesn't it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Absolutely right.\u00a0 I'm willing to listen at that point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And so you, as a man, feel bowed up, you feel respected, your chest is out, you feel like you could lead, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Totally, absolutely.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Anything respectful you'd like to say to Jeff, Shaunti?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Oh, I'll tell him the same thing that I always tell wives to tell their husbands, which is, \"I'm really proud of you, honey.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> There we go, huh?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Way to answer the questions, Jeff.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Thanks for being with us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Thanks, buddy.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You're a good sport.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, I'd say you passed the test on that one, huh?\u00a0 You did all right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> Red-faced.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> It really is cool that he authenticated the message of your book, though.\u00a0 And that's really what you're saying to wives \u2013 if they'll understand what's going on in their husband's head and heart, and that it's okay for a man to need to be respected and that a wife can, with her attitude, with her actions, and with her words, affirm her husband and say to him, \"I'm proud of you.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong> It's a totally legitimate need.\u00a0 You know what we were talking about before we came into the studio, which I think is really important for us to recognize is I personally think that although there has been a lot of good that's come out of the women's movement, it's given us women this very subtle sense that \u2013 you know, we women are really the ones with the interpersonal skills, and so therefore if there is a problem in the relationship, it's probably him and therefore he just needs to learn how to relate better.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd what we're really saying is he needs to relate our way as opposed to recognizing what I heard from all these men, which is, in most cases, the way that a guy is wired to relate is totally legitimate.\u00a0 And just the way we want him to move in our direction, to learn how to support and love us the way we need to be loved \u2013 we need to suddenly realize, \"Wait a minute, why should I not move in his direction to support and love him the way he needs to be loved?\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You know, there have been plenty of books we've talked about on FamilyLife Today where wives have called us and said, \"I need to get this for my husband.\"\u00a0 This is one of those books where I think we've got some men listening who are going, \"I think I may need to call and get that book and pass it on to my wife.\"\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> You think?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Because I think maybe you understand what I think and how I've been feeling and have never been able to express to my wife.\u00a0 And we've got copies of Shaunti's book in our FamilyLife Resource Center.\u00a0 It's called \"For Women Only.\" You can go to our website at FamilyLife.com, and on the right side of the home page, you'll see a box that says \"Today's Broadcast,\" and if you click where it says, \"Learn More,\" it will take you to an area of the site where there is more information about the book, \"For Women Only,\" by Shaunti Feldhahn.\u00a0 You can order online, if you'd like, or you can call us to order at 1-800-FLTODAY, that's 1-800-358-6329, 1-800-F-as-in-family, L-as-in-life, and then the word TODAY.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBy the way, Shaunti has just written the foreword for Dr. Robert Lewis's enw book for women called \"The New Eve,\" and we have that book in our FamilyLife Resource Center as well, and if our listeners are interested in getting both books together, we'll send along at no additional cost the CD audio of our conversation this week.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou can, gain, order online at FamilyLife.com or, if it's easier, just call us at 1-800-F-as-in-family, L-as-in-life, and then the word TODAY, and we'll make arrangements to have the resources you need sent out to you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd we want to ask you to consider something when you get in touch with us this week.\u00a0 Some of you may know that FamilyLife Today has received a very generous challenge from some of our friends.\u00a0 These folks wanted to see more FamilyLife Today listeners join with us and make a donation to the ministry of FamilyLife Today so that we can continue to be heard on this station and on other stations all across the country.\u00a0 So they agreed that they would match every donation that we receive here at FamilyLife during the month of May on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to a total of $635,000.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, that means that we need a lot of FamilyLife Today listeners who make $25 or $50 or $75 or $100 donations in order for those donations to be matched and for us to take full advantage of this $635,000 matching gift.\u00a0 So we're coming to our listeners and saying, \"Will you help us out?\u00a0 Will you either go online and make a donation at FamilyLife.com or call 1-800-FLTODAY and make a donation over the phone?\"\u00a0 When you do, your donation will be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and you'll be helping us head into the summer months when donations are generally a little slower with some money that will help get us through the summer months.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, again, if you can donate online at FamilyLife.com or by calling 1-800-FLTODAY, we would appreciate hearing from you.\u00a0 Any donation matters during this matching gift opportunity, and we hope to hear from you with a donation of any amount.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, tomorrow we want to talk about the longing and desire in the heart of a husband for intimacy, and some of what we're going to talk about tomorrow may surprise you.\u00a0 I hope you can be back with us for that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want to thank our engineer today, Keith Lynch, and our entire broadcast production team.\u00a0 On behalf of our host, Dennis Rainey, I'm Bob Lepine.\u00a0
