You say you want to add a little conflict between your couples (married couple, boyfriend-girlfriend, odd couple, take your pick) but you're not sure what would be realistic? Take a look at this list of 10 fights that a relationship therapist says couples have.1. Couples fight over commitment. Usually, one partner feels more committed, wants to push forward, or something like that.2. Fighting about household chores usually means one person thinks they do more than the other.3. Younger couples get frustrated by the other person spending too much time with social media.4. Fights about money? Spenders and savers. You're a cheapskate, you're irresponsible!5. Which is more important, work or our relationship?6. So when are you going to stop drinking, gambling, your addiction?7. You're spending all your time with the kids, not me.8. Too much/too little sex!9. Infidelity, an affair!10. That's not how you raise my child! (Joint decision-making, rule keeping)In the article, they talk a little bit about each of these problems, what causes them and how to deal with them. Just remember, a fight also means you have a chance to learn a little bit more about both of the characters, and a chance for them to make up and change how they do things in the future. So, pick an argument that suits your couple, and... let them fight it out!More details over here https://www.businessinsider.com/most-common-fights-couples-have-2017-12Write!
