Highs and lows are a natural part of every relationship. I’ve identified in my experience counseling couples that a significant number of those low moments are caused by unresolved disagreements.
70% of arguments go unresolved. What does this mean for you? It means you have likely experienced the same patterns, causes, and impacts that are prevalent in so many other relationships today.
Relationship Tension
Days, months, and years of those unresolved arguments can lead to growing and seemingly insurmountable tension. Many of the couples I’ve counseled have brought up similar causes of relationship tension.
- Money and budgeting.
- Careers and jobs.
- Relationships with extended family.
- Differences in opinion on parenting decisions.
- Sharing of household chores and work.
- Sex and intimacy, or a lack thereof.
- Emotional or sexual affairs and infidelity.
- Ex-boyfriends or -girlfriends.
- Sleeping habits or snoring.
- Even leaving the toilet seat up.
No matter what issue is at the root of the tension in your marriage or relationship, the effects of unresolved arguments can impair even the most healthy relationships.
