My husband, bless him, has some great character traits, but he has never quite grasped the concept of making bill paying the priority above going out, buying new stuff, wanting holidays etc. Along with this goes leaving lights on when not needed which wastes money on electricity.
Unless I know that we can go out for a meal or even for a drink without me thinking that the cash we are spending would be better put towards a bill, then I can't enjoy myself and it's a waste of time and money.
This apparently makes me a killjoy and no fun at all. Whilst I can see his point that we have to have some outings, he won't listen to suggestions of going somewhere cheaper, or saving up and going later.
He just doesn't worry about paying for the essentials first, it has, and probably always will be, a bone of contention with us.

My driving, he always criticizes my driving. I am not a speed demon or an aggressive overt driver. I drive. I didn’t get to be 50 by being reckless. And his badgering while I am driving gets me frustrated, but don’t discuss it, because he always has to be right. And that leads to an argument.
Money is an agreed upon event. However he does spend more than I do on items that are not needed, mainly beer. He complains I spend and spend, but I rarely go out. So I get blamed when he spends.
We argue about small things. But in general we get along 90 percent.

However, she only views it as a waste of time and think that I devote too much time to it. While I feel blessed for having steady employment over the past twelve years, I also want to do something that provides me with a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I figure if you’re going to do something, it should be something that makes you happy. I’m not sure if we will ever see eye to on this situation but I’m hoping she will see in time how important it is to me. Only time will tell though.

To prevent arguments in a marriage, it is best to make sure you are both on the same page on these important subjects. If you keep your finances under control, pay your bills on time, and avoid unnecessary spending, then you can largely avoid fighting about money.
Arguments about sex often occur when spouses have disparate sex drives. If this is the case, someone is going to need to compromise. Consult a physician because many problems with dwindling sex drives have physical or medical causes which can be addressed by a professional.
Spouses also need to find common ground when dealing with family, children, and in-laws. Compromise and communication are the key to dealing with these issues.

We typically argue about petty things. Things that do not matter. We do not argue often, but when we do, it is small things. I do not mean to brag, but I am very easy going. No matter what happens I try hard not to ever get upset.
My spouse on the other hand seems to either be in a great mood or a really bad mood. When he is in a bad mood he will knit pick. I have learned to just ignore the behavior. I listen, nod and go do something else.
You would think we would argue about money, but we do not. We do not argue about big issues. I personally think life is too short to argue, especially with your loved ones who mean the most to you in the world.

We used to argue over who spent the most money, but now we both look at our common goals and conserve as much as we can and this allows us to get new things we want. We try to make time for each other every day, even if it is just an hour of our time and we spend that time alone.
We both stay very busy and are full time caretakers of my ill and aging family members, so we do get stressed but it hasn’t caused us to argue amongst one another as much as I thought it would.
Sometimes you have to take the good and bad together, while deciding how to use them in the best way possible. We both have learned life isn’t fair, but we are blessed to have each other to share it with.
