In Proverbs 21:9 we can read that it's not nice to live with a nagging wife...
Well let's face it:conflicts are inevitable.
But is there something we can change in our behavior so that we could improve our marriage?
Louisville University has studied 160 married couples and their annoying behaviors.
I want to share with you the list they made...
So here are
some of the most highly ranked annoying behaviors in marriage:
- Asking your spouse to tell you how you look.
- Making negative comments about what your spouse is wearing.
- Packing too many items and suitcases for a trip.
- Taking too long to get ready to leave the house.
- Boring your spouse by spending too much time shopping.
- Looking at your phone while talking to your spouse.
- Spending too much time on the computer.
- Spending money just to “even the scales.”
- Using sex as a tool of manipulation.
- Not picking up after yourself around the house.
-Tim Finn
The important thing is to think about how your spouse feels about your nagging or criticism..
And in the end what works in the marriage is empathy!
"Do not judge your neighbor until you have walked two moons in his moccasins."
