to think that bickering is not

[coffeewithmilk]

a normal part of marriage?

Yes of course there will be some disagreements at times and having to compromise on things but am I right in saying that bickering, disagreeing with each other or just really getting on each others nerves at least once a week or more is not a good sign of a healthy marriage?

What do you think?

Its completely normal. 😵‍💫

@Justcashnosweets I've never really argued or bickered with my husband previously.. yes we had the odd disagreement but never anything to this extent and this frequent.
I'm worried that our marriage is going through a rocky patch and wanted to see what others consider normal 🥴

Depends on your relationship, I'd rather have an eye roll and an in the moment bicker with my husband and leave it there than tolerate everything and end up blowing up eventually. Maybe our personalities but having small children, stressful jobs and a busy life does mean that we occasionally bicker.

@coffeewithmilk I think lots of relationships go through stages where they just feel a bit like that. A couple of years ago I wasn't sure that our relationship could stand what felt like constant sniping with each other, we had a night to ourselves and sat down and talked properly and managed to get through it, I think when you get entrenched in feeling like that it's hard to see the other person's point of view and to pull back.

The occasional bicker is absolutely normal but I wouldn’t be able to deal with constant daily bickering with my DH

When you’re living with someone, day in day out and have life stresses it’s inevitable that the occasional bicker is going to happen… whatever the relationship

It also depends on the couple, me and DH are friends with a couple that bicker every time we meet up and it’s completely normal for them and they’re happy together in a 10 year + relationship
