In any marriage, there will be problems.
Some couples find solutions to these problems, and some don't.
There are many reasons for marital issues.
This article contains only a few of the most common marriage problems and solutions to help you fix them.
Of course the all time number one marital problem is...
money.
As is said, 'money is the root of all evil'.
If you or your spouse has lost a job, or if you suddenly have unexpected medical bills or other expenses, you will feel the stress in your marriage jump.
When you are stressed about how the bills are going to get paid, everything else is going to seem like a crisis.
It can get so out of hand that a dirty mark on the wall will spark an argument.
How do couples stop fighting over money? In most marriages, one person handles the checkbook.
Take some of the stress off of that person, and let the other see the bills and figure out how to pay them.
The person who is not involved with the finances probably has no idea of how expensive the bills are, and this will show them that the money really is going into the bills and not elsewhere.
Let the little things go.
In a marriage, you should pick and choose your 'battles'.
When we're under a lot of stress, everything makes us angry.
It is very important that we don't take it out on our spouse.
We don't mean to do it, and most of the time we don't even know we're doing it.
When married couples start to nit-pick, or make a fuss over every little things that done or not done, or said or not said, this can very easily lead to more marriage problems.
The solution? Learn to let some things slide.
So your wife made tv dinners instead of a home cooked meal - don't say anything, just assume that she's had a really bad day, or isn't feeling well, and leave it at that.
After all - you are eating, right? If your husband, once again, didn't take the trash out - don't make a big deal out of it.
He may be tired, or just didn't remember to do it.
You could take the trash out, just this once, right? Once the two of you can let the little things slide, you will find that a lot of your arguing is going to stop.
Maybe not all of it, but most of it.
And the stress that has been overwhelming will start to disappear, leaving you both feeling much better.
Talk to each other as much as possible.
Say nice things to each other as much as possible.
Keep the bad things to yourself.
For example, if your spouse is having a bad hair day, either tell them they look nice, or don't say anything at all.
They already are probably feeling bad about how they look, and your adding to it will only make them feel worse.
This is your spouse - you should make each other feel good about yourselves, not bad.
