The Moral Discourse

Ways to Avoid Being a Nag Don't blame. Don't demean. Don't attack. Don't criticize. Don't manipulate. Avoid making your spouse feel stupid.

Elizabeth Bernstein: "The first step in curbing the nagging cycle, experts say, is to admit that you are stuck in a bad pattern . You are fighting about fighting. You need to work to understand what makes the other person tick . Rather than lazy and unloving, is your husband overworked and tired? Is your wife really suggesting she doesn't trust you? Or is she just trying to keep track of too many chores?" Source: Elizabeth Bernstein. "Meet the Marriage Killer." WSJ.com. 1/25/2012.
