Instructor: Dr.
I. The 3 A’s that men need.
A. Men need Acceptance, Approval and Affection from their wives. When one is lacked they are miserable and lonely.
B. Dr. Laura is saying that men are just simple creatures and they need your attention to keep them happy. The Unity model does not agree with this.
C. when you pay more attention to the new born baby and leave your husband to the side he is not
II. A wife’s obligations to her family vs. the obligations and the needs of her husband
A. When one is married, the spouse and children should be at the top of the obligations list. But a lot of times the husband gets put a side.
B. The Unity Model agrees with this but it goes in to telling you that you should always have a separate bound with your spouse and another separate bound with your children.
C. The nuclear family that you have should be important to you, but most of all you should make your spouse the most important element in your life.
III. The universal complaint of men.
A. Universal complaints of men are that their wives criticize, complain, nag, rarely compliment or express appreciations to the husbands.
B. If you are at the Unity Model than this would not be a problem, because you and your spouse would be conjoint with each other and dropping traits that don’t fit and finding the ones that do fit and you would be growing together in reciprocity.
C. I picked this concept because I feel that it’s true that women nag too much.
