She says...Spend more time with me
published: Wednesday | February 14, 2007


Eulalee Thompson

Spending quality time together is important to nurture and strengthen relationships.

"I feel rejected when you spend so much time at work. I would like us to spend more time together."

You don't talk to me

"Sometimes, all I want is just to be listened to. I would like us to share each other's pain and joy and for you to give non-judgemental feedback."

Relationship expert Dr. Barry Davidson's research indicates that among women's top-five needs is conversation. They like information about what's happening in their partner's life, to talk about their feelings, to be listened to and to feel understood by their partners.

Security and comfort

"Sometimes I feel so alone. I would like to feel valued, appreciated and loved."

Research conducted by Jamaica's relationship expert, Dr. Barry Davidson, indicates that on the top-five list of women's needs is a sense of security.

Let's share the domestic tasks

"I feel burdened at times and I would like your help with the household chores."

When domestic work is not shared evenly in the relationship, it becomes the source of resentment and friction.
