Do you think you understand your man? Do you think that he is irresponsible and often forgets to bring the things you tell him to? Do you think that he is too pre-occupied with his work that he hardly hears what you say and doesn't seem to care what you do? Well if your answer is yes then what do you do. Are you the one who keeps shouting at your husband for forgetting the appointment with the doctor/school/parents-teachers meeting etc? Are you the one who nags him day in and day out for being so busy with his work that you are almost non-existent? Do you think nagging is the solution to all your problems? Well let me tell you one fact. Studies have revealed that men can suffer from hypertension, stress and other psychological problems because of nagging. You don't want your husband to turn into a psychological wreck, do you? So read on.

It is a fact that men want to feel needed and cared for. They like to feel that you want their protection and security. Therefore you have to keep your cool and get your things done tactfully. It doesn't mean that they will not do it otherwise but what is important is that what you ask them to do should involve love and tenderness. Don't ask them to do anything in a commanding and authoritative tone. And nag you must not. You can get your things done in a better way than nagging.

How To Ask Your Man To Do Something

How you ask your man to do something makes all the difference. Women think that a subtle nuance or slight turn of phrase will have no effect whatsoever on their hard core macho man. Well It does! Which is why you should always use "would you" and "will you" instead of "could you" and "can you".

Always remember these five important rules when asking your man to do something:

1. Make sure he is conscious and is listening to you.

2. Be brief! Limit your nagging harangue to one-hour max but not more than that.

3. Reward him for co-operative behaviour. Treat him with his favourite dish for dinner.

4. Punish him when he refuses to co-operate. But don't go on an I-don't-want-to-talk-to-you attitude. It will make matters worse.

5. Use "would you" or "will you" instead of "you'd better" or "do as I say and no one will get hurt".
