Every individual is distinct and different from others in many ways. We all have entirely distinct mindset, different priorities and own unique point of view and perception which may be weird to others. If we expect someone else to do or think according to us that would automatically create frequent conflicts and would be wrong too.

In a survey, published in the Forum for Family and Consumer Issues, finances proved to be the leading cause of conflict in marriage, with 39 percent of respondents listing it as their primary issue and 54 percent as their secondary issue.
