Men’s Emotional Needs

Doug unpacks men’s emotional needs in relationships including respect, acceptance, trust, affection, and words of affirmation.

Listener questions and comments:

• Edward - I think men's emotional needs are fulfilled with physical intimacy. (9:30)
• Mary Alice - What do you do when your husband is bragging about you in public, but not at home. There's verbal abuse, almost like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. (19:51)
• Jack - I'm dealing with an adult son who’s 30 years old and his fiancé was criticizing him in front of my daughter, her boyfriend and my ex. What do you think? (24:39)
• Marcel - If couples are not following what Doug is saying about intimacy, trust, and affection, then it's not a marriage, and you have a real problem. (33:29)
• Susan - You don't get to use the excuse of past experiences as a get out of jail free card. (39:03)
• Regina - My husband is very odd and he gets angry with me when I say good things about him. He thinks I lie, and then he tells the kids I'm lying. (42:20)
