Q: You can use any kind of bok choy you like for this recipe, including baby, mature, or Shanghai bok choy. To prepare the bok choy:  Cut off the very end of the stem that’s keeping the leaves together. Separate the bok choy, but leave the center leaf bulb intact. Wash the leaves and stems by running them under cold water. Make sure you rub the bottom of the stem well to remove dirt from around where the roots were. Pat dry with a clean towel. If you aren't using baby bok choy, cut the leaves off the stems, keeping the two pieces separate. Cut the leaves and stems into one-inch (2.5-cm) chunks. Baby bok choy is already bite-sized and has more tender stems, so it doesn’t have to be cut up. You can season the bok choy with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste. Toss the bok choy to coat it with the seasoning, then transfer it to a large serving platter. This recipe makes enough to serve about four people.
A: Prepare the bok choy. Season and serve.

Article: 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.”
