I don’t enjoy being a nag but it’s the only way anything around here will ever get done!

Join Leah and learn how to get things done without the nagging and whilst keeping the relationship intact all the while.

Leah’s Points To Ponder:

• The ultimate goal is closeness to our husbands, not the chores getting done.
• If there is shalom(peace) in the home and you’ve worked for closeness, there will anyway be more bracho (blessing) in the home and less chores!
• Nagging causes tension in the home, period. Tension causes lack of closeness, period.Tune in at 05:59 for Storytime with Leah and you’ll never wanting to nag again!
• Of course ask your husband to do things but it’s about the manner and tone in which you ask.
• Steps for how to accomplish getting things done:
  • Logistics–
    • Write a plan, prioritize the important chores.
    • Brainstorm practical solutions with your husband and see if he has   suggestions of how you should ask him to do chores. Listen in at 22:24 to hear how to ask your husband to do things without becoming the big, bad, bossy boss!

• • Prioritize-
    • Ensure you’re not bombarding him with your wants so he has emotional and physical energy to provide you with your needs.
    • Listen to our Wants Versus Needs show for a deeper understanding of this.
  • Mindshift–
    • Nagging may bring results but how does he feel?
    • Nagging turns you into someone he doesn’t want to be around and removes the pleasantness of the atmosphere.
    • Nagging brings distance but closeness is priority.
