Misunderstanding and fight between husband and Wife
Support
One of the major roles that relationship partners (Husband and Wife) play in each other's lives is in giving and receiving support—and quality support matters to satisfying relationships and personal well-being. Couples aid each other in a million large and small ways—for example, helping with household tasks, offering a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on, or cheering each other on towards goals and dreams.
Sex Life:
Being Explicit About Support
Being clear about the type of support you are seeking helps your partner to better show up for you. No matter how well partners know each other, they can’t read each other's minds—so be specific if you know the kind of support you need when reaching out. Perhaps you know that you could use a hug and emotional validation, or perhaps you would like your partner’s advice.
When your partner comes to you for support, it can be useful to ask what type of support they think would be helpful—or to focus first on empathizing with them, then checking in to see if they would like informational or tangible help. Explicitly discerning what kind of support your partner needs helps you to be responsive, showing that you understand their problem and care enough to assist them in a way that accepts their preferences. Such responsiveness builds closeness and trust. Importantly, misattunement and conflict are a normal part of healthy relationships—the process of finding alignment in a support conversation can take trial and error, as you may miss the mark before showing up in a way that genuinely helps—and partners will never perfectly support each other. Hanging in there together when support conversations go awry gives you a chance to practice the vital relationship habit of finding your way as a couple back from misattunement to connection.
Complex Constellations of Feelings and Needs
People have a fundamental need to feel like they can make their own choices and competently act upon them—we maintain a sense of empowerment by calling the shots in finding our way through our own struggles, so long as the issues we face are reasonably within our scope of influence. We can therefore feel somewhat belittled, rather than supported, by advice we did not seek out.
