why do some couples fight over money??

Answer 1

Usually because they both want to be in control of it and both are selfish... This is usually the reason why.

Answer 2

maybe because there's not enough of it coming into the household and they cannot make ends meet, they cant afford to fill the cupboards or pay bills, money can cause stress in any marriage which usually leads to separation or even divorce, money is a huge issue in marriages especially when there's kids involved because we all want the best for our kids but sometimes that does not happen, we have to make do, i have often heard my parents fighting over money because he's put it over the counter in the betting shop and lost it or she's bought a new skirt or top KNOWING full well that it will cause a fight, i'd say the majority of marriages suffer because of the lack of money....money is the route of all evil, i have always believed that

Answer 3

Couples can row over money because one of them is spending it too freely while the rest of the family has to go without the basic everyday things. Obviously the one spending all the money is quite happy, but the one that's left struggling without enough gets angry & then rows begin..

I think it's because people have different attitudes to money some are savers some are spenders - if you get two spenders you never have any money and if you save all the time you argue cause you are a boring bugger who never wants to spend money on going out - you can't win.
