Many times the reason the wife nags is because she gets
no attention. Oftentimes, it is a craving for love and affection.
Give your wife attention, and show your appreciation.
Praise and exalt all her many good points. There is also the
nagging type of woman who wants to make the man conform
to her particular pattern. This is about the quickest way in the
world to get rid of a man.
The wife and the husband must cease being scavengers
always looking at the petty faults or errors in each other.
Let each give attention and praise for the constructive and
wonderful qualities in the other.
The Brooding Husband
If a man begins to brood, grows morbid against his wife
because of the things she said or did, he is, psychologically
speaking, committing adultery. One of the meanings of
adultery is idolatry, i.c. giving attention to or uniting mentally
with that which is negative and destructive. When a man is silently resenting his wife and is full of hostility toward her, he
is unfaithful. He is not faithful to his marriage vows which are
to love, cherish, and honor her all the days of his life.
The man who is brooding, bitter, and resentful can swallow
his sharp remarks, abate his anger, and he can go to great
lengths to be considerate, kind, and courteous. He can deftly
skirt the differences. Through praise and mental effort, he
can get out of the habit of antagonism. Then, he will be able
to get along better, not only with his wife, but with business
associates also. Assume the harmonious state, and eventually
you will find peace and harmony.
