Day 239: Nag, Nag, Nag
Proverbs 27:15-16
A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet; You can’t turn it off, and you can’t get away from it.
Principle
The tactic of nagging is a tenacity to get what you want.
Believe it or not, a woman’s nagging is a pretty intelligent tactic to get her way. Jesus used the example of a nag to demonstrate the tenacity of prayer that is often required.
A widow goes to the one who had the authority to protect her, namely the judge, and pleads with him constantly, “Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.”
The judge ignored her for a while, but finally, he said to himself, ‘I don’t fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I’m going to see that she gets justice because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!’ – Luke 18:4-5
Here’s the lesson for men. We’re in a position of authority. A nagging wife is making her request known to her husband for her to get her petition answered. We can gripe about it – but there is often truth in her constant badgering.
I’m pretty confident you will not share this Daily Champion with your wife, but take some time to consider it.
Remember:
The quickest way to stop your wife from nagging is to do what she asks of you.
