Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

Why Do I Feel Like I’m Doing Everything She Asks For, and It’s Never Enough? Part 3 – When “Meeting Her Needs” Still Leaves You Both Empty


Listen Later

You’ve been given the advice:
“Just figure out her needs—and meet them.”

So you did.
You asked. You tried. You even made a list.

But somehow, instead of bringing you closer… it only made things worse.

In Part 3 of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, we challenge one of the most widespread (and dangerous) misconceptions in modern marriage repair: that "needs-fulfillment conversations" are the answer to everything.

Maurice breaks down why this popular approach may actually sabotage connection—and why your efforts to meet her needs might be making her feel more disconnected, not less. You’ll learn why checking boxes isn’t the same as building trust, and how consecration, not compliance, is the path to healing.

For the man who’s asking:🧠 “Why do I feel like a failure even when I’m doing everything right?”
❤️ “Why does she still feel unseen, even when I’m trying so hard?”
…this episode could shift everything.
