DISCLAIMER: My wife doesn’t nag me. Ever.

I have a theory about why women nag their men. Women are way more complex then men. If you ever ask a woman how her day was you get a lot of details. When you ask a guy it can be summed up in one or two words. So here’s my theory…when a woman asks her man to do do something she has a million thoughts going through her head. When a guy hears it he has one thought and that is whatever he is doing.

After five, ten, or fifteen minutes if the guy hasn’t responded there is a good chance that he’s forgotten what he was asked to do. After five, ten, or fifteen minutes the woman has had a bazillion thoughts go through her head. When her man hasn’t responded she becomes worried because she’s juggling so many other thoughts. It’s not as big of a deal to guys because many of them are one track minded. The problem is when she nags no one wins.

Application for women: Don’t nag.
Application for men: Don’t give your woman a reason to nag.

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop [on the flat oriental roof, exposed to all kinds of weather] than in a house shared with a nagging, quarrelsome, and faultfinding woman. – Proverbs 21:9
