I'll be celebrating my first anniversary with my husband this coming May. For the first year of our marriage, there had been a lot of ups and downs. We argue because we have different perspectives and we criticize each others attitude at times. Is that healthy in a relationship?
I guess, criticizing each others attitude is still healthy because it's a way of correcting your partners' unpleasant behavior. But I sometimes wonder if I'm doing things right or am I supporting my husband enough. Do I make him happy or not? Why does he lack the will to do his project? Am I not enough as an inspiration? Or is he just lazy? Or am I stressing him out?
Those are questions in my mind that is left unanswered.

Trust and respect plus a dose of compromise.

Yeah I agree but pride is sometimes the issue.

@renicemae yeah. That is why learn to compromise. If both of you have pride, then no compromise.

@mlgen1037 I feel like I'm always the one giving way to him and I'm not a Saint. I dont know how to explain things in a way that we both agree.

@Shavkat There was unfortunately. But he has learned his lessons so I forgave him.

I can say that we are both honest but when it comes to trust, I can't say that I fully trust him.

I think money is the most common reason why couples quarrel nowadays.
