have always accepted that. But now it seems like no matter what the
conversation your spouse wants to argue about it. What’s up?
You both had

business didn’t get done. It could be that the two of you are just tired or
that it is just part of your relationship. Whatever it is arguing between
married couples just comes with the territory.
