A woman in a serious relationship is looking to feel adored, appreciated, wanted and protected. If the following five needs aren't met in a relationship, a woman will never be able to fall completely in love with you.

However, when a wife feels that her needs and desires are a priority and are taken care of, she will serve and love her husband each and every day.

While your wife wants her needs to be met, she might be afraid to tell you. Here are five things your wife is too scared to admit she not only wants from you but needs from you.

1. Reassurance

Take the time to create a daily connection with your wife. This can be a simple text reminding her you will stand by her through the good, the bad and the ugly. Daily compliments, never leaving the home without kissing her goodbye, sweet touches only shared between the two of you and conversations saved for one another will help create an unspoken bond of devotion to one each other.

2. Respected boundaries

This principle reaches far beyond basic manners and respect of personal beliefs. This idea suggests that a husband recognizes what his wife values and believes. He then decides to have unwavering support to show his wife she is free to maintain her values and thrive on that respect. Establishing genuine respect for spiritual, mental and physical boundaries will help strengthen each other's relationship and understanding of one another.

3. Space

Space is a hard principle to understand in a marriage. A man often can mistake his wife's need for space and alone time as a manifestation that things are going wrong in their relationship. This is far from the truth.

A wife needs alone time to rejuvenate and gain a fresh perspective. The time set aside to do things she loves (reading, relaxing, running, etc.) will help her gather her thoughts so she can better love you.

4. Subtle displays of affection (public and private)

A woman loves to be reminded how beautiful, smart and caring she is not only through sweet compliments but also through small acts of affection.

Your wife needs to be kissed, embraced in private and in public places, overwhelmed with love notes and completely adored head to toe.

She needs you to be there for her. She needs your loving and protective charm close by. Remember, she is still that young girl that fell madly in love with you. Remind her that you remember this through your subtle yet loving touch.

4. Motherhood praise

Do not belittle the role your wife plays as your children's mother. This role is one of the most beautiful and trying tasks a woman places upon herself. Cherish her, respect her and constantly remind her how you admire her devotion to not only you but your family as well. The appreciation and genuine adoration you provide your wife will help sustain her and support her in her role as a mother.

Decide together what actions to work on or incorporate into your relationship to fulfill each other's needs. Together, take the exciting steps and actions to build a stronger and more fulfilling relationship.
