3 Ways Nagging Hurts Your Marriage (And How to Stop)

Do you nag your spouse too much? Most of us do it occasionally. Sometimes we do it out of love or concern. “You shouldn’t stay up so late. You know it makes you irritable.” Often, though, we do it because we’re unappreciative. “Did you really forget the carrots at the grocery store? They were on the list!”

Lately, I’ve found myself in the second camp. Yes, I really did nag my husband for forgetting an item at the grocery store instead of being thankful that he went so I didn’t have to go out in the cold. I may have also mentioned that he doesn’t clean out the dishes well enough before he washes them. I have even complained about him sleeping during the day even though he works at night because I was so frustrated with our opposite schedules. And I’m embarrassed.

Nagging never helps a relationship. In fact, it can hurt your marriage in serious ways.

A little nagging is tolerable. Excessive nagging is grounds for separation.

The trick is to not nag for 30 or 40 years until you both look too crappy to date...

...then start.

Most sentences from my wife to me start with “Have you...?”, “Did you...?”, “Would you...?” , or “Could you...?”.

Be thankful for any kindness your spouse does. And tell them that you are thankful. Over look any way that it might fall short of perfection because you are imperfect as well.

But when something goes undone and it comes back to bite the family in the wallet and the spouse asks "why didn't you remind me?" a small scream of frustration is, perhaps, in order.
