What Do Couples Normally Argue About?

• Physical intimacy (Too little . . . too much. . . how much is the right amount?) 

• Jealousy and infidelity (How can I trust that my partner is being faithful?) 

• Parenting styles (One parent is too easy, the other parent is too tough . . . who’s correct?)

• Finances (One partner is a scrooge, the other is a spender. How do you create a financial plan that honors the need to save with the need to enjoy life?)

• In-laws (Setting boundaries with in-laws and shifting primary allegiance from the family of origin to each other is the task of early marriages and relationships. Hence, in-laws issues tend to be more prevalent in first marriages).

• Step-children (Blending families together, balancing the needs of husbands and wives along with the needs of the children, is the difficult task to master in subsequent marriages).
