Yeah, I can see both sides of this:

1. Scratching up non-stick pans and pots by using the wrong spoons and such is a way to dammage your cookware.

2. The way she said it, however, begs the question... is a pot or a pan really that important that you would actually be aggressive over it? You can buy new pots and pans. It's only stuff. I can guarantee you that if your marriage doesn't make it, cookware is going to seem relatively unimportant.

I see two wrongs:

1. John, you need to not use things like metal spoons on non-stick cookware. Just do it and stop making excuses.

2. Mrs John, I know you feel like John doesn't listen to you, and this is why you are frustrated, and it's OK to tell him that if you can do it like an adult. If you lash out, you are acting like a child, and you are far too old now to be acting like a child.
