I and my female friends who are all married were having a sharing mostly about our marriage and one of the the things we discussed was the reasons why they sometimes fight with their husband. These were the reason given:
1) jealousy (third party)
2)lazy or irresponsible spouse
3) money matters
4) Rift with In-Laws
5) disagreement on how to discipline kids
Honestly, me and my husband have not fought over those issues. Our fights are actually too petty lol. 
. How about you? What issues do you usually fight about?

I and my hubby often fight about money matter and how to discipline kids. Yes, we often have different view on how to manage money and how to make kids to be discipline. My hubby tend to don;t care how to manage money, while I am very tight to manage money. In other hand, my hubby tend to straight on how to discipline kids but I tend to loose.

every couple should fight but how mature they solved it more depend on it.

I've been married for nearly 5 years, and we do argue but not about things that really matter if that makes sense. Money, of course, grumpy / overtired / stressed with work - All things that a good nights sleep and some extra planning would make disappear.

5 years of marriage is long enough for you to encounter several issues in marriage.

@djgarner86 Any problem should be discussed and resolved together to keep the harmony between the couple.

@salonga It's not the problems that cause the issue, it is not talking about it and resolving them together.

One of life's marital irritations has been because I am left handed and he is right handed. He insists on moving the kettle, for instance, from the left hand side to the right hand side of the kitchen. We have the same problem with the toilet brush - to the left or the right side of the loo. most of our difficulties can be sorted, but this one seems unlikely to go away.

@41CombedaleRoad I think I never did. I always do it alone. Maybe I would ask him one time.

We don't fight we just find it irritating sometimes. Have you ever asked your husband to help you fold the sheets?

O, I always shy away from fighting with my wife. It is a hell for me. I mean it is not unusual for husband and wife to fight . . it is part of the marriage. But what I really try to avoid is the aftermath of the fight. My wife does not talk to me for days! It is hell!

I have to wait and see when I get married. Because I think it is easy for me to say we should have understanding between each other but it will be a tough task I consider to maintain the relationship with no fights.
On contrary I heard that fight is another way to know each other better and get involved more.
Lets see how it goes with me.

I am not married yet however, my boyfriend and I do have disagreements, most times petty but we have always tried to have a discussion about the situation when we are calm.

@Realtalk6 Right! This is why when we are anger we should rather control our mouths because it will worsen the situation.

@salonga yes it is. I have learned my lesson from words spoken in anger.

My husband and I fight if he forgets to put moisturising cream on his hands and feet. I hate holding hands with and being touched by his rough hands..I also get very annoyed that he keeps forgetting to put moisturising cream on his feet specially his heels after he shower.. Because I don't like my soft feet touching his rough feet when we lay in bed. And we also fight if he forgets to floss his teeth... Yes, those are the main reasons for our fights.. We are pathetic.

lol, I had fun reading your comment. My husband never used moisturizing cream on his hands and feet.. good that his and hands and feet are actually smoother than mine even if he is actually very industrious. I thought it is only for ladies.

I don't think hubby and I have ever had a fight. I know we have had differing opinions once in a while but a fight never. I think in my whole marriage I've cried twice in frustration but that's not bad since we've been married for 48 years.

In our nearly eight year marriage, we disagree, but never have had a fight. Maturity and experience have taught us that you can't really change another person.

Maturity and experience help us to be more understanding of each other's weaknesses.

When my husband and I fight, it is usually because one of us is tired and feeling irritable.

In that sense the one who is not tired should be more patient and understanding.
