Is it true that the main two things all married couples fight about is sex and money?

I remember my Mom and Aunties always saying that from the time I was a teenager until now (I'm 28).





I understand fighting about money, but I've never understood why married couples fight about sex. Do they mean the man wants to have sex more than the woman so they fight? Or like if they're mad, the woman withholds sex from the man and they argue about it?





Please explain it to me. Guten Tag.Is it true that the main two things all married couples fight about is sex and money?
Yes, it is true that some married people fight over sex and money. I fight mostly with my husband about sex because it is the opposite instead of him wanting it, I am the one that wants to have sex and he keeps rejecting me.. Maybe it's the age difference, I am way younger then he is. Or he could be getting it from someone else. Oh well!!!!Is it true that the main two things all married couples fight about is sex and money?
Money is one of the main reasons in divorce lack of money causes familys to have to work more to try to pay bills and such but if there is a ton of money in a family you will hardly see them get divorced as they have more happiness and stress relieved off there shoulders but i dont think sex is a issue in divorces because if they are happy together of course there going to want to have sex more!
LOL! Great Question. I believe the two are true. Women spend money shopping without consulting the hubby and hubby party money or gamble and hide it until they are in debt. Now about the sex, well that goes both ways, men are always horny and when the wife is mad we as women do hold out because we can't just open wide without forgetting what just happened. Now, this rolls over to men cheating so that's why couples argue about ';MONEY %26amp; SEX'; either women won't open up and try new things so men result to outsiders.. Or some men just always need something extra. Hope this answered your quest.
Women do withhold sex, and who can be bothered w/ sex if you have no money. Sharing household chores is a biggie too.
Thats is true in my case, money and sex. Money problems create stress and in turn sex becomes an issue.
Yep. One person always wants it more than the other one does. Or one person ';withholds'; in order to ';punish'; the other person. Sex is a tool, a weapon if you will, in marriage sometimes. Sad, but true.
I've been married 3 times. We've never argued about sex. It's either been money or communication.
Money and sex aren't THE most important things in a marriage, but they're right up there at the top of the list. I believe that most couples need to be on the same page in both categories. If the woman wants sex 4-5 times per week and a man is content with 2, or vice versa, there is going to be frustration. I'm tired of the stereotype that women hold out on giving sex to men and that it's women that aren't in the mood. There are men out there that can take it or leave it too if you allow them to get lazy.
I think it's what most married people fight over but i think there are other causes to .money means power and sometimes .The sex gets with held because for some spouse that the only thing they have control over in there relationship and with holding sex feel like you have power.one controls the money and the other control the sex.but what it comes down to you both lose,because you both should be controlling things together.
It's not always the man that wants more... Oh, there's a third thing to fight about: kids
Not in our case. The main thing we have always fought about is housework (specifically my lack of interest in it) .
I actually think money is #1.
arguments over money and sex have been the ruin of more marriages than cheating
in most of the family ,if the wife in dependent on her hubby.fighting will be their in this case..but this fight will come as a big issue if it continous.





ohhhhh let me come to sex,r aunt / uncle fight for sex..... its not abnormal..if a guy is not satisfied he may look for a new girl to satisfy him..girl fight to a guy for sex,its a tendency of a human being to fight for sex.but the fight indirectly says that tthey are fighting for sex...only the couple can understand..unsatisfies sex or no sex between couples will lead to fight
I have never fought with my wife over sex. It's always been over money.
I've been married almost 25 years and I think sex and money covers 95% of the fights we have had. It was probably money more often than sex.





Guten nacht!
Mismatched libidos KILL a relationship.





Those women that ';use'; sex to control their men are just born with low libidos so they can actually go without sex themselves.





I think a lot of people (men especially) ASSUME marriage = sex whenever I want it. Sure it works for animals in heat but the human race is just a step up in mentality.





THIS is why you MUST have a long detailed discussion about sex expectations with your partner PRIOR to engagement!
Sounds about right. Sometimes women (men do it too!) withhold sex when they're pissed off. Sometimes, they just don't have the same sex drive they used to. Who ever decided they aren't getting enough usually ends up hurt and pissed off and fight with their spouse about it!
Money is a big one.





Sex, I honestly think is often manifests from other problems in the relationship that affect sex. Wife is unhappy for some reason, so she withholds. Or vice versa. Or someones unhappy and it affects their drive/enthusiasm.





No one just wakes up and decides they dont want to have sex anymore.





Though differing sex drives can be a frustration and cause insecurities - I don't think thats as major as not getting any, or sex being used as a tool to get needs met.
Funny. I never thought that we would ever fight about sex. But that is one things we have tiffs about. It's basically what you said ';man wants to have sex more than the woman';. Our ';wanting it'; times never match up.
That sounds right to me.
i would tend to disagree


id say they fight about money and external influences such as friends and family


id say fighting about sex becomes a secondary issue that becomes forefront when the other big issues are not being dealt with because sex will take the backburner when ur not feeling up to par and stressed out, but its other major life issues that are causing the sex to become an issue
