Many believe that a harmonious household is one where the husband and wife, work cohesively to wrap up chores and enjoy family time together.


Yet, this can be a distant dream for many couples who end up bickering in the process of getting things done.

Some households achieve their goals by making a chore wheel, while other create to-do lists that they can sync with each other.

Nevertheless, you may find that husband or wife happens to be forgetful and does not hold up their share of the bargain when it comes to house-work.

In such cases, you might find yourself nagging them. If you’ve been worrying that it may put a strain on your marriage, then read on for we discuss how nagging your spouse can impact your marriage.

1. It may cause insecurities to spring up

If your partner is completely in love with you, it may mean that they hold you and your opinions in high regard. So, being rebuked perpetually can make them feel insecure. They may try hard to please you but feel as though they always failing, which can drive a deep wedge between you too. If it causes your partner to be upset frequently, this can also turn their family members against you as they see your spouse being constantly nagged.

2. They may feel inadequate and unworthy

No one likes to be perpetually criticized. Hence, if your partner feels that your vibes and energy is more negative than positive in their life; they will feel unworthy as the criticism impacts their self-esteem. They may feel that everything they do for you is rejected and as though they can do nothing right when it comes to you. This will slowly drift away from you. Soon, their secret heart may no longer be connected to yours. While your marriage may still survive, the love within will not be the same.

3. They may soon resent you

Whether it is them perpetually forgetting to pick up the laundry, or leaving their shoes strewn about the bedroom, there may be many instances where you feel you have to give your partner little reminders to complete the household chores. Yet, over a period of time, if your mate comes to realise that you are constantly urging them to do one task after another without any respite; they might soon come to resent you.

The bitterness and negativity that steps into your marriage might be hard to erode to rebuild a healthy relationship.
