Top 5 Arguments That Married Couples Have

Lasting, a relationship app surveyed 75,000 married couples to find out what the top 5 things married couples fought about.

1. Chores. Experts say the best way to avoid that one is to just split them up 50/50. Or as close to it as possible.

2. The definition of "clean." Men and women don't always agree. Does it mean no dirt, or no clutter? So try to come to a consensus on what "clean" really looks like.

3. How often to have sex. Don't put too much pressure on it. Around 25% of couples have sex once a week. But research shows most married couples only do it one to three times a month.

4. Using your phone too much. If it's an issue, it's important to set boundaries and agree on limits. For example, a rule of no phones at the dinner table . . . or in bed . . . might be a good idea.

5. What to spend money on. Major purchases should always be discussed. If you don't agree on what a "major" purchase is, just be specific. Set an amount like $100 ahead of time. Then talk about any purchases that are over that limit.
