Stress is one of the reasons many marriages ended in divorce, because the couples are unable to cope with the many problems they have to face in their everyday lives. People tend to become irritable under stress and they vent their ire on each other. At a certain point, they can no longer stand the presence of each other. Some couples fail or refuse to understand that their mates are human and prone to make mistakes, and they let anger and frustration get the better of them. Several causes of stress at home are enumerated and discussed below: Money matters
This item gets the lion's share of the blame for failed marriages. The constant worry of how they're going to pay the bills consumes their every waking minute. The problem is they worry too much about it and start bickering over the matter every day.
Learn how to live within your means. Don't even think of buying a new car if your finances will not allow it. Strike a balance between your income and expenses. Make sure your bills get paid each month and then use some of what's left over to buy those unnecessary items or put it away into savings and save up for that new car you want.
A credit card increases your purchasing power, just use it judiciously. If needed, check with a credit counseling agency and see if you can get your credit card debt consolidated so you make only one payment vs. making three or four. Child care Most couples have frequent arguments about how to discipline a child when they've done something wrong or how to bring them up in this world. They would try to impose their own concept of what is right and wrong. The problem is they have contrasting views, so they end up squabbling endlessly. Instead, you should bring them to the table, coming up with a compromise to bring the two values together and personalizing them to make it work for your family.
