But these tense moments not only affect the marriage, also the children who become spectators of these fights.

While putting the discrepancies Among the members of a marriage are inevitable, knowing how to cope with these situations is what differentiates between reaching a common point or thinning the environment.

Behavioral problems

- The reason is relative. It is never good to impose a point of view for many reasons that you think you have, you have to know how to listen to the motives of the other person and reach a common point.


- Remember what you fell in love with. While not everything can be good, you have to remember these aspects as well. Do not focus on the bad and think that the other person has a lot to offer us.
