My psychology classes tend to overlap a lot and we have been talking about marriage lately. The top three things that married people fight about:
- Money
- Sex
- House Work
Four other things that can destroy a marriage:
- Criticism - tearing down your spouse, this is different than voicing a complaint or concern.
- Contempt - lack of respect accompanied by a feeling of intense dislike
- Defensiveness - Constantly protecting oneself from criticism, exposure of one's shortcomings, or other real or perceived threats to the ego
- Stone Walling - not letting your spouse inside your emotional world; being closed off.
