Stop Pursuing Him in the Wrong Ways

Ladies, If your husband doesn't give you the affection and attention and emotional connection you desire - let's check to see if you may need to back off a bit and give him the chance to miss you and pursue you. Men don't respond to our demands, neediness, desperation, nagging, manipulation, love with strings attached and constantly repeated requests. They respond much better to a bit of healthy space, our respect for them to make their own choices, our friendly, respectful requests and suggestions - without pressure. Of course, if a man is involved in a major drug/alcohol addiction, unrepentant adultery, is not in his right mind due to mental illness, or is truly abusive toward you or your children - giving him a bit of space and treating him with respect is not going to cut it. In severe situations, you may need to reach out for appropriate, experienced help - from a godly counselor, a doctor, or even the police sometimes. I don't want anyone staying in a situation where they are truly not safe.
