In her post, Gayle shares four steps to tame nagging once andfor all:
Step 1: Ask yourself how important this issue isStep 2: If you want something, learn to ask clearly and kindlyStep 3: Assume the best about your spouse's responseStep 4; Learn to use "I" statements

Even I learned a few things from Gayle's post - andno I'm not admitting I was her source of creative inspiration!Even if you have a nag-free marriage, you might find some great tips in the article that could help yourfriends. That's it for this week. Until next week, this is Mike &Gayle Tucker and we want you to be madly in love.
