I am married and My hubby and I hardly fight. That 99% is including minor fights I take it. People are just marrying at a younger age, or marrying too quick! Or getting married because of a child and not for love.

Very good advice. I will heed it. I think maturity level is a big factor as well.

I feel that money issues have a lot to do with most quarrels..

It is a fact that money is the main reason why married couples fight.

it depends on the foundation a husband and wife made. if it is full of love & understanding then they can embrace each others differences. but if it build under a egoistic, emotional, and fighting environment, then the marriage always fails and ends up in divorce. at the start of marriage, couples should start creating a loving & harmonious relationship whatever problems, tests and moods each others have.

Most couples fight. It's actually healthy since communication is key to any relationship. The problem is that many people attack each other and places blame instead of trying to work out the issues. It's pretty sad.

If it isn't money, then it's most likely poor communication skills. Being a good friend, partner and good communication are keys to a successful marriage. I'm with my hubby for 17 years and we never fight. At most, we will agree to disagree.

Apparently, you've only found the bad marriages. I know many couples that don't fight often at all. Disagree yes, but fight, not really. I don't fight with my spouse. We may disagree, but we've never fought with yelling voices and harsh words, ever. And, fights don't only occur in marriages. Any love relationship has that possibility, it can't be narrowed down to just marriage. There is a different side to this discussion.

Emotions and egos are a part of every human, so that's why they are in marriages. Is it as a partnership that a couple decide to but aside their egos and make the marriage work. Compromise has to happen on some things and agreeing to disagree must happen on others. My husband and I do not "argue", we discuss and have spats and if the spats are included in the 99% then so be it, but we do not argue. Life is too short for that,we discuss and then come to a conclusion that makes us both happy. Some disussions are longer than others, but we make it work.

A lot of marriages end in Divorce due to incompatibility of the couple and a lack of compromise. Marriage is based on compromise and doing what is best for both parties and not on the selfish needs, wants of just one. A marriage cannot survive unless both parties are committed to the relationship and are willing to work together to make the marriage a union that both can enjoy.

Nobody's perfect. We are all sinners. Man and woman come from different family, culture, ambitions, and many different things. Then its make them fight. Fight for their ego, some for the best choice, many reasons. Marriage in this sinful world if there's no fight is impossible.. Just fight for the best of our spouse and for the glory of the Lord. Pray for the families that they could fight fairly..

I have been married to my husband for over 9 years and we hardly if ever fight. We never go to bed angry, we never leave the house angry. We really get along and thats why we got married. We are perfect together. People seem to not be really getting to know their spouse before getting married. They are getting married too young.

ego, emmotions have a part in married life because they are basically human charataristics and have a part in everyday life. To be human is to experience emmotions including love, hate, happiness, sadness, anger, jealousy, guilt, selfishness, giving, ect. Something we feel will lead to disputes, one partner feels the other isn't being far in responsibilities, one cheats on the other, ones always lies to the other or hides things or sometimes one is just abusive or just rude and selfish all the time. One reason I think for a high divorce rate is either people marry someone who they are not really compatible with in the 1st place or people who should never be married at all get married to eachother.

Maybe because they married not was based on the true love, but only based on passion to their couple.

I agree with this opinion that most of the couples fight, however, what I wanna emphasise is that its just normal to have differences when people live togather. Even friends have differences in their opinions, siblings also fight, we argue with our parents also, but since we are in the habit of fighting with all these people for such a long time we just don't think of these arguements as 'Fights'. Whereas when people fight with their spouses, they tend to over weigh it. The ego comes into play because we have not known our spouses/partners for a long time. If we had known them for as long a time as we have known our parents or siblings or our best friends things would become easier. If we keep this thing in mind, and if we understand that our partner doesn't really know us well, things will become simpler and fights in future will also not happen. Atleast the bitterness won't be as strong, and such arguments will end the way they end when we have them with our siblings & parents. Just think about it & try to forgive your partner the next time you have an argument ( thinking that he/she still doesn't really know you) and you will see the difference.

your statistics are not correct. there are very many couples who do not fight at all. so do more research and review your 99%. the figures should be less than 40%.

well, fights is part of marriage life what matter is how u respond to it u gotta remember that u chose this particular person to spend ur life with so i guess some fight is ok with marriage if u really understand and love each other, u gotta be able to forgive and got over each other ego
