somehow the wife and the husband often quarrel with each other from time to time ,sometimes it was his fault and sometimes mine. And the worst is that the husband won't think he is wrong. He always thinks he is right every time.He will point out his wife's many mistakes on his stand.and he won't listen to others'opinion,which makes his wife angry.they think of divorce but to protect their child's feeling they give up the thought. So they often quarrel as before, which harms their feelings very much. My friend, what do you do? Can you give them some advice?

Men will never admit it's their fault, women will always think everything is their fault even if this is not true. Also many men seem to think you always are asking for their advice if you tell them something. This is the difference between men and women, the way they communicate and behave. There are plenty of books written about it, who might help to understand why someone is behaving the way he/she is. This besides of the fact there are also people who are always quarreling/fighting but don't have the intention to divorce at all. It might be strange or uncomfortable as an outsider to sit in between this. But... as a couple you have to say too what your boarders are, what you accept or not. And yes there are plenty of times worth fighting for it. BTW this doesn't mean it's a mistake, or mistakes are made. People are different, they have different hopes, goals, ideas, point of views and different lessons to learn in their life. So the man in this case his lesson is probably to learn how to listen to other people their opinion. If everybody is doing as he wants or nobody is fighting telling him his/her ideas anymore he will never learn that lesson. Might be the lesson for the wife is to learn that their are plenty of things/subjects in this world not worth fighting or getting angry about. Since that guy is the way he is and there is a big chance he will never learn his lesson. And if it comes to the kid... staying, fighting whole time, being stubborn, angry.. is not a safe area but also not a good example for a kid to show how to deal with feelings, other people and during hard times.

I know there are some men who think they are wrong in private .That is to say they admit his fault in his heart but he will not admit it in public. But what is the worst is that HE THINKS he does be right, no faults at all.

That is a tough one always try to reflect on what causes the argument , and try to resolved it never leave a issue unresolved . You should consider getting professional help and find back the love you once had . If all other fail I think you both should consider divorce I dont think staying in a marriage because of a child is enough and that cannot be healthy for anyone because the child will continue to see you arguing . Take some time away from home and your child and you and your husband just spend a week away from all troubles and relax and enjoy each other .

Emotionally battered is sometimes worse than physically battered. Words of insult oftentimes leads to inferiority complex and losing self confidence. In my opinion, that depends on how much level of insult and disrespect the couple can take. If they think it's fine for them- so be it for the sake of their children. But if anyone among the two (mostly the wife) is hurt and cannot take anymore insult- then she or he better leave the situation before it get worse. Words of insult may trigger anger and anger can drive someone to lost self control- so what happens next? Besides, what kind of environment their kids have. Is that the kind of life they want their kids to remember as they grow up? Don't they think that having fight all the time is also affecting their kids psychologically? They're after their kids betterment, so- they must change or think for the better solution. It might be separation or divorce which is the best than giving their children fear about life.

Okay fight is good for a healthy relationship but not all the time fight. When you can patch up fast and not get hurt much then it is fine. And if you don't have any extra marital affairs then what are the reasons to fight???? Because of the time the cause of a fight between husband and wife is extra marital affairs. Analyse the situation and see if it is hurting you and you can not handle the situation then it is better to separate because life will become hell like this. I know that the feeling is there when you have kids and if you want to stay happily without fighting then put clauses to the way you are operating now. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
