The primary love needs of men and women are different. They think they give and give, when in fact they give what they wish to receive. Both are disappointed. What men need in order to feel great and loved is different from what women need and they should accept this difference once and for all. Only by accepting and understanding this difference can they give exactly what the other needs.

Read “Love and Respect” by Emerson Eggerich. It provides a slightly different “list” (actually, only one thing each), but it’s kind of an interesting premise.
I will. Thank you.
To need something, to have lack of something, sounds like old paradigm “Service to Self”. Mind is like that.
The new paradigm is “Service to Others”. Of course to be able to give, you first should become whole within yourself, a filled cup which starts to overflow. Heart is like this.
Oh, I think those kinds of generalisations don’t hold up that well… I mean, at least from experience, men and women are just people, and people themselves have individual things they give and need unique to who they are.
Yes, you are right. In fact, both men and women want and need all 12 things, BUT these 6 are primary for each gender. Only after your primary needs are met, can you feel truly great. It’s something I recently read in a book and it just stuck in my mind a lot.
