It can include trying to correct short comings. The best way to avoid nagging is to be tactful and pick a good time to talk about things. My husband has a terrible habit of leaving toothpicks all over. Instead of nagging I picked them up and put them in his headphones, stuck a couple in his keyboard so that when he typed he pricked his fingers. He got the hint. It can be difficult because 2 people are living together and the boundries are different than those at work. You wouldn't nag someone or try to correct a shortcoming by saying the same thing over and over would you? Use the same consideration with your husband. It would make things a little easier. One last thing, try to always remember what it was that attracted you to him in the first place.

It could come from either. If you bring up a shortcoming that is one thing, but if you are constantly bringing it up or continue to talk about the problem longer than need be then that is nagging. If you complain about something that is not nagging until you won't give up or let it rest.

Nagging is what you girls do when your anxiety issues are getting the best of you and no one close to you cares. You're not really interestedin a fix to the prpoblem, normally you just need a good girlfriend who will agree with everything you say at that moment.
As for guys, we usually have to go to work in the morning and just want to watch the game and have a couple of beers before hell starts all over again.

Most people are aware of their shortcomings....if you mention once to someone that (for example) they are a messy cook, that's bringing it to their attention (in case they didn't know)...if you tell them every time they cook and make comment after comment about it, that's nagging...
If there is something about your husband that annoys you (or worse) why didn't you address it before you two got married? It's not right to try to change someone into what you think they should be...they either change because they feel it would make them a better person, or they choose to stay as they are...
You either love him for who he is, shortcomings and all, or you made a mistake in marrying someone and then trying to make them into the person you really wanted to be with.
It's okay to tell someone you don't care for certain behaviors of theirs...but don't nag...and be prepared for them to let you know the things about you they aren't so keen about either.

Well like if you say...honey please stay at home with me.....some men accuse you of being a nag....that's NOT nagging.
Nagging is when someone constantly picks you apart...and never lets up.
The bible says...it's better for a men to live in the attic...then in the house with a nagging women.

You shouldn't correct your hubby....it demasculates him. However you can suggest things to him. If you have to say it more than twice without action on his part, you are nagging.
Now....WAKE UP...you are a woman and you can get your way without NAGGING the poor man. The more you correct, the more he will move back away from you. Learn to use your feminine ways...be kind..."paper train" your man! Go talk to an older woman if you don't know what that means! Godloveya.

Nagging is bothering or annoying, usually incessantly, and about a particular subject. When something qualifies as nagging, though, is kind of subjective, since it depends on one's opinion about when it becomes too frequent, and irritating. If the situation is that you're trying to "correct" your husband's "shortcomings", one might ask, does he consider what you are trying to correct a shortcoming? And does he want to correct it? People are not animals, to be corrected and trained. If that is the case, unless it is something that is unhealthy for him or for you, consider whether or not you would want someone "correcting" your "shortcomings" that you don't consider to be problems.
