Your Wife Thinks Differently About Love

Men often become hurt and resentful when their wife isn't in the mood. This frustration can be a cause of marriage problems, because the man takes it as a sign of rejection. There are more pieces to the puzzle, however.

Clearly, the sexual relationship is viewed very differently by men and women. The man uses sex as a way to show love and to give and receive love. He believes that when he makes love to his wife, that her participation is a sign that she is showing him that she loves him back.

Women feel like they show love for their man by doing nice things for him all day, and when they have sex, it is not only to show love, but they also must be in the mood. They want to show the man they love him, but the mood has to be right.

It should be acknowledged that most women don't know that men use sex as a measurement for their love. The man should not be afraid to tell her this. When she repeatedly rejects sex by not being in the mood, the man should clearly let her know of his feelings of rejection and hurt. Opening up is a good thing, and can help matters greatly.

When the woman declines to have sex with the man, she is simply declining because she isn't in the mood, and for her it likely has little to do with love. Women really don't have a clue of the ramifications this causes. The man should always let her know how it makes him feel. This will contribute to a stronger relationship and marriage.
