Marriage Tip 24. Learn how to complain

We all like to have a good moan, and when you're married it's usually your husband who's on the receiving end.

Complaining is an integral part of married life. Your spouse will do things that annoy or upset you and you certainly will complain about it.

However, it's important to learn how to complain properly... and the secret to complaining properly is to be specific.

Tell him exactly what he has done wrong and how it has made you feel.

If he loves you, he will recognize his mistake and be less likely to do it again.

Whatever you do, don't come out with sweeping statements such as, "you never take the rubbish out" or "you always make a mess of the bathroom."
