Nagging becomes a mode of communication for some couples. Instead of speaking directly to each other or addressing issues directly, they resort to indirect expressions of frustration that push each other’s buttons and do more harm than good. Try to break the NAG cycle! Try to turn your complaint into a suggestion, and your accusation into a request. Doing so takes energy and creativity, but a relationship without a nag is a relationship in which both people stand on equal footing!
