A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day. Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind or trying to hold something with greased hands. — Proverbs 27:15-16 NLT Insight Quarrelsome nagging, a steady stream of unwanted advice, is a form of torture. People nag because they think theyre not getting through, but nagging hinders communication more than it helps. Challenge When tempted to engage in this destructive habit, stop and examine your motives. Are you more concerned about yourself—getting your way, being right—than about the person you are pretending to help? If you are truly concerned about other people, think of a more effective way to get through to them. Surprise them with words of patience and love, and see what happens.
