Here are the common reasons of disagreement between husband and wife.
Dis agreement in Financial matters
Most common source of disagreement between couples is money handling. It is a big trouble if one is insistent in spending while he other is reserved.
When one is an impulsive buyer while the other is a wise spender. When either husband or the wife make any purchase in big amount without the knowledge of the other. When the other is concerned of saving money but the other is care free to spend for anything.
Money is very basic for our existence. No one can do something without money involved therefore, It is always good to sit down, make a budget and spend within the limit of it. No over spending unless it is very necessary. Think before spending and spend within the budget limit. Spending beyond the budget all the time is a bad habit. Most couples fight over money spending and budgeting specially if only one has income to support the family therefore, financial matters must be given proper attention. Applying for credits should be properly discussed to avoid trouble in the future when family income is jeopardize because of credits.
Disagreement in Rearing of children or in imposing discipline
There are times when husband and wife are not uniform in imposing discipline to their kids. The other is so strict while the other is so relax. Sometimes when the father disciplined the kids, the mother will come to the rescue, she will do her best to defend her kids and both of them (father and mother) will end up to disagree in front of their children. In this scenario, the kids will be confused and they lost their respect to both the parents. Worse than that, children will have more behavior problems in the future wherever they go.
It is a good idea for both parents to agree on how to discipline their children. None of them will take the side of the erring child when discipline is being imposed. In this case the child will realize the true meaning of discipline and will uphold to the rules made for them to follow. They must also understand that discipline is
needed for them to become better persons.
Disagreement in Dealing with in laws
Dealing with in laws is very stressful specially if either the wife or the husband is not accepted in the family. Good if they are living far away but if they are just nearby, it is not an easy thing to deal with. Sometimes the wife will complain to her husband about the ill treatment of the sister or bother in law to her. Some husbands would not say anything but there are those who would take the side of either their wife or their siblings and this will be the starting point of a family conflict. In some cases too, the husband gives financial support to his parents or siblings and the wife would disagree to that idea. This is tough.
It is very ideal that husband and wife are accepted on both sides but this isn't always the case. Many are having a hard time dealing with their in laws and this is one of the common reasons of disagreement between husband and wife.
Disagreement in Decision Making
In most cases it is always proper for a man as head of the family to present to his wife any major decision to be made as subject for discussion. When one of them make major decisions without the knowledge of the other, it will create a big trouble. Disagreement occurs when couples will not respect each other's ideas. It is always good to discuss and weigh things over before making any decision. If that decision benefits the members of the family, then go for it.
It is always best not to make any major decision when one of them has strong points for disagreement. It should be discussed thoroughly before the final move.
Disagreement in Sexual matters
Sexual intimacy is an expression of love for both husband and wife and this is not be done for selfish motive to gratify oneself. It is always nice to have good communication when it comes to this matter. There are times when one partner is not ready but the other is insistent not considering the physical reason of whether the other is tired or sick. If one partner want it while the other don't for some reasons, the fight starts. This thing is a very sensitive issue among couples. It is a common source of misunderstanding and unhappiness and if not properly attended this will result to an elicit relationship by the unsatisfied partner, looking for someone who can gratify want she/he wants. It is important that Couple must have agreement when it comes to sexual matters in order to maintain healthy relationship with a happy and fulfilled married life. Understanding is the key factor to maintain peace and harmony in the home.
