You fight about money.

Every single couple will fight at some point over a super sensitive topic: finances. When you sit down and talk and can’t agree on how to make, save, or even spend your money, it might turn out to be a bit problematic.

Having your own financial independence is a great thing, but some financial decisions still need to be made jointly. For instance, the top earner in the relationship should never try to take complete control over spending.

You need to be able to sit down and agree on financial matters, whether we’re simply talking about a vacation or how much to spend on holiday gifts.

You are having the same argument again.

A new day, the same old fight You constantly remind him to wash the dishes in the sink. He always reminds you to call him on your way from your doctor’s appointment.

Or, even worse, you might have deeper issues, like whether or not to have children or where to retire in the distant future. Well, surprising or not, having the same argument in your marriage might show you also have differences in your lifestyle and personality.

Worse than that, big differences in mentality are usually a good indicator that a marriage won’t last.

    There are times when human beings just don’t get along with each other and that goes along with every marriage. Those who divorce over compatibility have not being true to their vows for better or worst and not allowing that love they felt for each other initially to come back through for them.
    My wife and I have been married for 53 years and even yet we have times where we disagree and don’t get along with each other. Let it ride!! Don’t allow your ego and pride to get in the way of your relationship with each other.
    Infidelity is another issue. Divorce in this instance is for the hardness of your heart. Only you can decide whether to forgive or not.

    Yes to deciding to forgive.
    A hard heart is a tough road
    going no where good.
    God forgives us especially and only when we forgive others.
