Although women usually are blamed for nagging, men are often just as guilty. Nagging may be the single greatest contribution to that dreaded ailment, selective hearing. Before you accuse your spouse of never listening to you, ask yourself if you are guilty of nagging.
If your badgering produces a payoff now, beware. Even the most compliant mate will eventually tune out a demanding whine. Few people want to be known as a henpecked husband or a browbeaten wife. Harping and hounding seldom produce the desired result. Gently present your request. Say it once. Then wait. Allow plenty of time for your spouse to respond before approaching the subject again.
Designate your home as a no-nag zone.
