Had to laugh at this on the week of my 22 year wedding anniversary. Not because my wife is quarrelsome, just because of the irony. 

Everyone has something that their wife is always reminding them to do: pick up your clothes off the floor, take the trash out, pick up after yourself etc! 

But on a serious note: 

When we repeat ourselves, or constantly remind someone about something. What we really afraid of is that they are not hearing us. 

So how do we reconcile this: 

First we have to ask ourselves:

1. What are the motives behind what I am saying?
2. Am I more concerned about getting my way, 
3 Is it that I am more interested in being right-than 
about the person I am helping? 

Often the solution is: 
I should think of a more effective way to get through to them. Surprise them with words of patience and love, and see what happens.

GRACE:

15 A quarrelsome wife is as annoying
as constant dripping on a rainy day.
16 Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind
or trying to hold something with greased hands. Proverbs 27:15-16
