Sharing Desires Without  Demanding
 
by Dr. Gary Chapman
 
We are creatures of desire. That is, we want certain things. 
 
Desires are usually expressed in terms of I want, I wish, I hope, or I would like.  
 
In an intimate marriage the partners can share their desires with each other without making demands. If my wife tells me that she would like a new dress for the party, then perhaps I can make it happen. 
 
If she doesn't tell me, I have no way of knowing her desire. When we care deeply for each other, we each have the freedom to share our intimate desires, but we do not do it in a demanding way. 
 
I don't mean to say that any of us can have everything we desire. But if we share, then we can discuss the possibilities - is it realistic or not? If so, then what steps need to be taken? 
 
Helping fulfill the desires of your spouse is one way of expressing your love. 
 
Love always wants what is best for their spouse and best for the couple and family.
