Wife drawn to man’s person and tone of voice (7)

I believe the answer is:

whisper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tone of voice' is the definition.
'whisper' can be an answer for 'voice' (I have seen 'Soft voice ' mean 'whisper' so perhaps 'voice' could also mean 'whisper'). I'm not sure about the 'tone of' bit.

'wife drawn to man's person' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'drawn to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'man' becomes 'his' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'person' becomes 'per' (abbreviation).
'w'+'his'+'per'='WHISPER'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whisper that I've seen before include "Speak very quietly" , "Soft voice" , "Talk very quietly" , "Talk in a low voice" , "Speak in a low voice" .)
