b'"She\'s not nagging. She\'s trying to tell you something. The only reason she\'s being persistent is because she cares. When she stops nagging, you should be worried because at that point she no longer cares." Nagging usually doesn\\u2019t start out as a problem in marriage. As time goes on though you\\xa0begin to\\xa0share things with your spouse that are\\xa0bothering you. You don\'t see any change in behavior so you\\xa0repeat yourself, over and over again. Then you\\xa0get demanding. Sometimes you\\xa0get mean and angry. Other times\\xa0you get loud because you want to make sure they hear you. And still no results. You continue to nag and to you it seems that your spouse just\\xa0ignores your requests. Why? Because nagging isn\\u2019t solving your communication problems. In fact it could be making \\xa0your communication worse. When nagging is present in your marriage, it\\u2019s time for both of you to evaluate what\\u2019s going on. If you are repeatedly nagging your spouse you need to ask yourself... Why aren\\u2019t your requests being heard or acted upon? Are you treating your spouse like a partner or like a child? Do they hear encouragement from you or is it only criticism? If you are continuously feeling nagged you need to ask yourself... What is my\\xa0spouse trying to tell me\\xa0and what action(s) do I\\xa0need to take? What is\\xa0my spouse pointing out that I\\xa0don\\u2019t want to change or acknowledge? Nagging is a symptom that there is disconnect in your marriage and when nagging is present it\\u2019s time to take action. Nagging over time is incredibly destructive as it literally chips away at the foundation of your marriage, one comment at a time.
