"Tell the other person what you want. Use simple, direct language. Keep it specific: "I want you to help with the dishes," not "I want you to show more consideration for me." Address the other person's behavior, not his personality or character, to avoid putting him on the defensive. "
From "Undoing Depression" by Richard O'Conner, Ph.D., Berkley Books, New York
