arbitrarily, to change the other in some point, whether it be in regard to a trivial fault or habit, or something of great importance.

I have known wives to make the mistake of trying to make their husbands' over by always hammering away at their faults, their deficiencies, always reminding them of their weaknesses, instead of praising their strong points, lauding their good qualities, and appealing to the best in them. Nagging and faultfinding have never yet changed anyone, except for the worse. You cannot sandpaper a husband all the time, scold and criticize him constantly, without arousing a fatal protest.

When a wife is constantly picturing the awful results of her husband's drinking habits, or other greater or minor vices, and telling him what the result will be if he does not quit, she arouses in him a spirit of antagonism, and completely loses her influence over him. Every man resents this sort of treatment. It is human nature to defend ourselves when attacked, to resist being driven or being compelled to be good. We can only be led to give up that which is bad by the substitution of something better.
