Relationships 1

We (Mothers' Support Group Puchong) had the privilege of listening to one of our church pastors share about what makes men tick this morning. It was a most interesting hour and I learnt much from his candid sharing.

First and foremost, we were informed that men generally regard sex as their number 1 need! Although it shouldn't come as a surprise, yet hearing it from a pastor still gave me a slight jolt. The other 4 things in the list were, recreational companionship, attractive spouse, domestic support and admiration (read:stroking his ego).

Just studying the list made me tired because it seems to involve a lot of 'doing' on the wives' part. First we must give them sexual fulfillment, then we have to be their 'buddies' meaning play with them, could be watching sports or fishing etc; on top of that, we have to make sure that we stay attractive while taking care of the children and domestic needs like cooking and cleaning and ironing and last but not least, we need to regularly massage their egos!

But my pastor assures us that men are simple creatures, as long as we learn how to press the correct buttons at the correct time, everything will fall into place. Hmmm....
