Okay so no one is perfect, I so get that. I could easily, sooo easily say that about myself. We, wives are not perfect and neither are our hubbies. Let’s face it some things they do can down right bug us. You know what I’m talking about clothes on the floor when the laundry basket is at arms reach, leaving hair clippings on the sink, tracking in dirt on a clean floor, or maybe something more serious like not talking to you respectfully, etc. Keep this in mind when you find yourself getting annoyed with your husband 1) It doesn’t take a genius to find the faults in another human being, look for the gold in him instead. 2) Catch him in the act of doing some thing you like and then 3) Praise him for it!
For example, if you are frustrated that he forgets to pick up something of his on the floor, instead of nagging him to pick it up catch him when he is putting the clothes away and praise him in a sweet and sincere tone like this, “Wow, I really appreciate you picking that up, thanks!” It can be as simple as that. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have open communication about hurts or frustrations, but if you’ve already talked about it and you haven’t gotten the results you are looking for try this technique.
To recap: Stop nagging, catch him in the act of doing what you like and praise him!
Men really desire praise and adoration from their wives. If you praise them, they will start to find ways to be praiseworthy. Try it and see for yourself.
