6 Major Reasons Behind Couples Conflict
The conflict between couples starts for several reasons. To resolve this, it is very important to find out the root cause of the conflict.
Here are 10 common reasons behind relationship conflict -:
- Financial issues
Lack of money is the biggest relationship challenge and the most common reason for the couples’ quarrels. According to experts, about 48% of married couples fight over finance. If couples have insufficient finances, they are often seen arguing over money, which can take a relationship to its breaking point.
Also, one partner usually earns more than the other and in many cases becomes more dominant which leads to bitterness and insecurity in the relationship.
- Work-Life Balance
Some people are more workaholic and therefore spend much of their time in the office. Due to which they are not able to give sufficient time to their spouse and family. This can make a lot of difference between pairs and it can be difficult to bounce back towards smooth communication.
So, it’s very essential to maintain a work-life balance to maintain a healthy relationship.
- Kids
Many couples fight over the children even before they are born. They debate whether or not to have a child and when to plan for a child. And when the child is born, they start fighting over other issues such as how to raise the child. One partner wants to be a strict parent and another wants to treat his child more friendly. Also, partners fight for household things and children related chores
- Sex
Dissatisfied sex can also have a bad effect on a person’s life. Bad sex and sexual incompatibility can cause a married couple to fight over unnecessary things. And this can weaken the love bond between them.
- Selfishness
Mental health problems can give birth to selfishness and being selfish in a marriage can destroy the relationship. A selfish partner always thinks about his needs and preferences and thereby ignores his/her partner’s desires. This can bring unwanted stress and become the cause of conflict.
- Over expectations
It is very obvious to have expectations from your partner, but in some cases, the level of expectations exceeds its limits, which cannot be fulfilled by their partner. And in such cases, one feels neglected and thinks that his partner is not interested in the relationship.
