Experiencing Teaching Meaning

My wife wants me to get certain jobs and chores done around the house and maintain the house to her standard, but she expects me to get these things done to her satisfaction on my own. Not being a mind reader (yet), I need some consistent feedback to do this, feedback she finds hard to give because if I didn't do it her way the first time she'd rather do it herself and get it over with than stand around talking about it.

So I explained, and hope this helps her understand, how necessary the process of learning these things is, how without the experiential learning process, I won't be able to attach the right meaning and significance to getting it done. If she won't make me go back and do these things again, make me go get her standard right the second time as it were, I will never learn the appropriate prioritization and organization needed to satisfy her standard.
