Needs and Nagging

Have you ever "reminded" your husband excessively to complete a task? This is otherwise known as nagging. It's a common behavior resorted to by wives who just can't seem to get their husbands to cooperate.

In The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage, Dr. Laura Schlessinger suggests that there's a better way to productivity and harmony in marriage: giving. Rather than seeking our own good, and nagging or snapping in order to get it, spend some time thinking about how to bless your husband today. What might make him happy? A note in his briefcase, his favorite dinner, a back rub?

Dr. Laura suggests trying out some of these tactics without asking for what you want. She predicts that before long your husband will turn to you and ask, "Honey, you've been so sweet, is there anything I can do for you?" And then he'll probably do whatever you ask quite happily. This method really makes for a more pleasant day for everyone in the house!
