These Are The 3 Things That Usually Cause Fight Among Couples


I have never seen a perfect relationship, but the way the partners are able to compromise, accept each other and understand each other determines how far the relationship will go.

It's okay for couples to argue once in a while, but what are the common reasons couples argue every time?

There are many reasons why couples argue with each other, but the three main reasons we are going to talk about are: household chores, money, and different life goals.


1. Disagreement over money or finances

Money troubles is one of the things that strain relationships.

According to research, the issue of money is one of the main reasons arguments occur in relationships.

When one person start feeling like they are spending more money than they are supposed to and the other spends little or doesn't want to spend at all, it might lead to tension.

Let's use Jennifer and Wayne as example. Jennifer believes in saving while Wayne believes that "we only live once," so he enjoys life the way he wants. Jennifer felt like he is not bothered about their future and Wayne feels like she complain too much. This results into arguments because they don't understand each other's perspective.

The best way to handle this type of situation is to communicate in an open and honest way.

You should talk about your money values and think about saving an amount that will be convenient for both of you. It's a topic that should never be avoided, look for a way to manage it together.

2. Household chores

This is believed to be a very quiet relationship killer.

I am not just talking about the laundry and dishes, I am talking about how both partners respect and value each other when dealing with laundry and dishes.

If one partner is the one carrying the load, there will be disagreements.

Alicia and Frank have been married for two years. Alicia handles 95 percent of the house chores while Frank, who works 12 hours thinks it's unnecessary to help her. But with time, Alicia became overwhelmed and every week, they started having disagreements.

The best solution for this type of situation is to make sure that the chores don't pile up.

The work should be shared among both partners and each partner should always be appreciated for their efforts.

3. Different life goals

After spending a long time together, couples might realize that what they both want does not align.

When this happens, it can result in conflict because they are not on the same page about their future.

In the case of Mike and Elizabeth, Mike's goal was to make some money and moved to the city with his family while Elizabeth's goal was to move to the country side to raise her kids. The more they tried to avoid this issue, the more serious their arguments got.

The best way to solve this problem is for the couples to have a serious conversation about what they both want for the future.

They should also be ready to compromise, this will show that they respect what each person wants.

The way you handle disagreements tells a lot about you. Instead of letting the disagreements lead to serious issues, always show respect and be honest about things affecting you.

Conflicts will surely happen in a relationship but the way you are able to handle it, and work through it together with your partner determines how far your relationship will go.
