The Need For Connection Versus Neediness

The Secure Husband

Many men feel shame for wanting love.
You’re told to be strong, stay independent, and never show emotion.
But here’s the truth:

You are made for connection.
Your body and brain need closeness.
That doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

In this episode of The Secure Husband Podcast, you’ll learn the clear difference between healthy connection and unhealthy neediness. You’ll also see how your childhood shaped how you ask for love today — and what to do if you’ve been chasing, shutting down, or performing in your marriage.

✅ Why connection is a biological need, not a flaw
