Tired of nagging?
“How many times do I have to tell you to blah-blah-blah!” Nagging. It’s just not that sexy.
Let’s face it. We have a long to-do list and we’d sure like some help getting things done. The problem comes in when we hound our spouse to do a task that’s been on the list for, well, eons. He pushes back or ignores our pleas. We feel irritated or dejected. Nobody is happy.
The bottom line is that women want to see their man as a hero…their hero. But we women don’t seem to know how ask without being mean. When you nag him, he can’t win. Even if he does what you want, he feels blackmailed. Nobody wins. Yuck! You don’t want that!
So you’re all excited about getting what you want from your man, right?
Yay! Now how do you do it?
***********************************
Here are 3 simple tips to help you turn your nagging into bragging (on your man):
1. GET CLEAR. Describe what you want in specific words so that he can see a crystal clear picture of the outcome you want.
I want you to paint our bedroom with this can of paint by the Friday before Easter.
2. GET PROUD. Do what it takes to trust your own thinking. Embrace your desires. Smile!
Believe that what you want is actually good for both of you and for your relationship.
3. ASK. Don’t be wishy-washy or apologize. Use bon-bons instead of bombs.
I want this because…tell him why you want it. i.e., “Painting the bedroom will help me feel supported and proud of our home”

One reader told me she got her husband to paint the bedroom when she suggested they do it together…naked!
What’s your favorite way to get what you want from your man, without nagging?
