Do you feel like you’re always asking your husband to do the same things over and over again? Honey, did you remember to pick up the dry cleaning? Honey, don’t forget to put down the toilet seat!

If this sounds familiar, you might want to consider a more effective — and less annoying — way to get what you want.

In this video, psychologist, relationship coach and YourTango Expert Dr. Amy Johnson explains how you can have your needs met without sounding like a pest. “The best way to reinforce any behavior and to get what you want,” says Dr. Johnson, “is through praise.”

    Why can’t men just grow up instead of having to be treated like children?

    This reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where everyone had to praise everything that little boy did so they wouldn’t get banished to the cornfield. “That’s a good thing you did, _______, a real good thing!” Yeah, that’ll work one time where I had to ask him to do something more than once, and he never got around to it. After that, I’ll just bag up his dirty underwear and put them in the garage, next to the garbage I had to take out, after cooking and cleaning the kitchen. That’s the way it will be until he figures out that it doesn’t take a lot to get along with me.
