Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. (Ephesians 5:25)
Men's Network has a short post on how to stop your wife from nagging—listen to her. It's common sense stuff, really. Here are the money points:
My opening verse is one example that Paul gives of what it means to submit to one another. Men submit to their wives by setting aside self-gratifying or self-promoting solutions so that her emotional and spiritual needs are met. It's a tough job, but the Lord has equipped men for that task, whether or not they realize it.

Listening involves a few easy steps:Many men will look at this and walk off in a huff like Naaman, when Elisha told him to wash seven times in the Jordan River (2 Kings 5:11-12). He was willing to do something great for healing, but not what required humility. Thankfully, his servants recognized this and convinced him to submit in this matter (2 Kings 5:13).
1. Look at her. Maintain eye contact. Let nothing distract you. I repeat: let nothing distract you.
2. Do not judge, dismiss, belittle. Let her speak and finish what she has to say.
3. Restate what she says or asks. Be clear on what is being said or requested.
4. Follow through with what you said you would do.

in other words, pretty much common senses. Treat her the way you want to be treated.
Or maybe treat here better than you want to be treated.
