Summarize the following:
The best way to understand your wife's point of view is to listen to what she is saying. Take some time to work on bettering your communication. This includes practicing your active listening skills. Show that you are listening by maintaining eye contact and making gestures such as nodding. You can also indicate your interest by paraphrasing. For instance, "I hear you saying that you feel I don't help out enough around the house." You need to have an open and honest conversation about your wife's behavior. During this conversation, try to find common ground. You might find that you are actually both frustrated by the same things. You could say, "I agree that we're not really working together on household chores. How could we create a more fair division of labor? I'm feeling really put upon lately." The nagging might be a serious problem for you. But remember, there are lots of things you love about your wife, too. Reconnect with each other by being affectionate. Take time each day to hug your wife. Be affectionate by rubbing her shoulders while you watch TV. If you are constantly dealing with nagging, you've probably asked your wife repeatedly to stop. She might seem to be listening and even agree to your requests. But it's important to realize that that is not the same as actually being heard. Being heard means that your wife is taking in what you are saying, understanding it, and acting on it. If your wife continues this behavior, she's clearly not hearing what you are saying. Make your emotions clear. Try saying, "I have explained to you that I feel hurt, angry, and frustrated. I feel that you are not hearing me, because you continue to nag me, even though it hurts. I need you to understand my point of view." Sometimes couples hit a rough patch. If your efforts at fixing the problem don't seem to be working, you might want to consider some outside help. Counseling can be a great way for couples to learn new ways to communicate. Ask your wife if she is willing to attend counseling with you. That way, you can work on solving the problem together. If she doesn't want to go, you can go on your own. You can still get help processing your emotions. It is important that you get some kind of resolution. It is not fair for you to have to live with all of these negative emotions. If your wife does not changer her behavior, you need to keep revisiting the issue. Make it clear that you are not going to let the matter drop. Try saying, "I know we just talked about this last week, but I haven't seen any positive changes. I need you to realize how hurtful you are being." If your wife simply won't stop, you have every right to demand some sort of resolution. If you have tried to communicate and maybe even tried counseling, it might be time to make a firm demand. Think about whether the nagging is a deal breaker for you. If it's not, you can keep trying to make your wife hear you. If you just can't take it anymore, make that clear. Try saying, "I can't continue to live with this stress. If you can't make some immediate changes, I'm going to have to consider taking some time off from our relationship."

summary: Listen carefully. Find ways to agree. Show affection. Make sure you are heard. Go to counseling. Revisit the issue. Insist on change.

Such stains include coffee rings, dried on food and drink spills that are very sticky. Allow it to sit for an hour or two so that it can work on the stubborn stain. Rinse the surface of the counter with a fresh cloth, as there will be a residue left after removing it. It is harmless but a little rough to touch if you do not wipe it off completely.

Measure your water into a saucepan and place it over the stove. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. While the water is still boiling, pour in your gelatin. Keep boiling the water until the gelatin dissolves. This generally takes around one minute. If you prefer a lime flavor, you can opt for lime gelatin instead of lemon gelatin. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour in the lemon juice, cold water, and vodka. Use a spoon to mix all the ingredients together.
