How to Deal With a Wife That Nags a Lot

When I first got saved and read about nagging wife in the Bible I thought it would be NEVER relevant to me. Well, after 5 years of marriage and ministering and studying in church together we had a baby. We got separated, he was ministering and I was home. I was off his list of people with whom he could spend time with, baby was priority. When I tried to say how hard the adjustment was for me he would say I always talk in complaining matter. When our child was 8 I found out he had virtual affair, meaning nothing physical just very romantic letter to his secretary. We went to pastor for counseling. There when I first heard that I became a nagging wife.
What happened to me? I was out of his focus. When I tried to talk he would shut his hearing. I could see it from his face. I would talk more to try to have any reaction. I am living person! Here most of men's responses is-ignore. Shut off. Why would you ignore the one who gave life to your kids? Right, you do not nag- because you are stronger, men! You can hit, you can make angry face, you can speak and as women we responce. Can I hit or scare him to obey me? No. My only means is words. Air. But the more we talk the less you listen.

I grew in women's environment. We talked. If I was nagged at, which I called "lectured" I would try to do my best to correct or I would understand that my mom or my grandma was tired or upset. We would hug each other.

When my husband first heard my mom's lecture he said he would never obey after that. What does Bible say about rebellious spirit? And now I understand he does the same to me-the more I talk about matters the less chances are left for  me.

Dear ladies, they do not want to listen! All of them! How on earth can we agree and have family? Where is our family now? Why we cannot talk and agree about matters?

I feel now that I am a big looser. I thought it would never happen to me. Now nagging wife is my name. I didn't know any other way to be heard and now I know that I actually made my husband to go completely deaf.

All I needed was him giving me a hug and telling me how wonderful I still was. Instead, I saw grins and comments. He hates the sound of my voice now.  I hate it, too. Just cannot stop.

And I hate his silence. I hate when he grins hearing my voice. He just stopped loving me, that's all. Nagging wife is forsaken wife. And in the same time, being a good Christian, he comes to me to have sex. Then he makes patient face if I want to tell him something.  No, I do not ruin his desire-most of the time. But sometimes I felt  too neglected before to respond to him then. I cannot even tell him a story. Anything longer than one sentence makes him unhappy.

So, what is your advise, guys, shut up and cook and make love? Why would you marry then, if you don't want to share your life with your wife?

Na wa o!! Nagging wives,
Only God can deliver us.

A nagging wife is a curse to a man. An evil curse at that.
The roof top is too close for comfort. They are simply unbearble when they start.
Madness is nothing close to it. Pray you don't encounter or ever stay with one, its the shortest route to death.

abi o. Not sure why that's hard for people to get.

People dont nag if you listened to them in the first place

not true my dear. you have never seen a nagging woman. it doesnt even have to be the husband.  most people just complain for complain sake.

there will never be complain in my house in Jesus name.  it is one reason most men go insane or to an early grave

            Starve her by not talking to her, eating the meals she prepared and even sleeping in the same room with her.



         ********** *****************believe me , she will turn a new leaf.

for most it is just a habit nothing more

How does nagging get it fixed 

If I wish to be nagged to death I can easily pinch my five-year-old cousin.  Nagging is an unattractive habit for any adult, IMHO.

For the partners of people who nag, some of the responsibility for improving the lines of communication falls on them as well.

"Start out by doing what your spouse is asking to you to do -- that might nip it in the bud. "Another alternative would be for the person who is getting nagged to avoid getting angry or nasty, which doesn't work well.

Instead, have a heart-to-heart about what it feels like to be constantly hounded about something, but in a loving way, instead of a defending way."

I think some of you may have somewhat of a point in learning about what your wife and showing concern for her but sometimes it is not enough. Sometimes there is more to it then listening and treating them nice, etc.

I am dealing with someone who I have been with who has a chronic problem of nagging. She beats a dead horse with every conversation. She is always sarcastic, manipulative, and only concerned with getting her way. She totally wants to be put on this pedestal of entitlement. I have tried every which way to please her and it is not enough.

Every little thing is a case for debate or argument. There is no sympathy or compassion and I am totally sick of it.

silence,the worst argument. If that did not work start nagging too she will stop.

Nothing will work. If you are quite comments will be more intense. If you argue they will argue till you stop and continue. If you go out, it is a temporary relief. Once you are back it will start again.
Naging will be about your parents, not enough shopping, not enough money, children not having this that, you never buy me anything blah blah.

Solution" Wait for your kids to be settled and then leave her for last few peaceful years.".
