Nagging never really helped any relationship, that's for sure! A quote from the scripture said that "a soft answer turneth away anger" I do believe that! .-= Bo´s last blog ..Four Christian Marriage Counseling Success Secrets =-.

Hi Ileane!
Yes, it’s a constant self-check battle against nagging, but now I’m usually too tired to even do that!
Hi Kathy!
Thanks for stopping by and thank you for the compliment – I’m glad to know that this blog has helped in some way
Hi Save Marriage!
Usually, it really is the appreciation factor that’s behind the nagging – unfortunately, that’s the least effective way to get any appreciation. It sends people running in the opposite direction!

Great post. It’s all too easy to nag instead of communicate. It’s a trap I think everyone falls into sometimes – when they’re tired or stressed. When I find myself nagging, I make myself think of WHY I’m saying what I am, rather than what I’m saying. Am I complainign “You haven’t mowed the lawn?” because it hasn’t been done for a couple of weeks, or is it just a way of saying “I’m tired and I’d like a little more support” – do I want the lawn mowed, or do I want to relax and have some quality time where I feel appreciated?

Communication really is key.

I think we need to leave those subtle hints about birthdays all year long! I can be a nag, so I do check myself at times. Live and learn.
