I'm doing research for couple's counseling and would like to hear from folks regarding problem areas common to most relationships.
So far I have: Finances, Sex, Distribution of chores, Time spent together, Personl Freedom and Support (other than financial).
Thanks much.

Sounds like you got them all already. Mainly finances and distribution of chores.

I think its communication. My husband and I dont argue over sex, chores, time, freedom or support... the only time we really argue is over communication problems.
Ex: (this was yesterday)
Im in the living room watching tv, I go to the kitchen to make something to eat and he comes into the living room from the bedroom. He has his mp3 player radio (which is like a normal radio that everyone can hear) blarring. I tell him, THE TV IS ON!!!! And he goes into the living room and turns it off! So I can understand his point of view thinking that I was just telling him the tv was on, so therefor he turned it off, but thats not what I meant.
Sometimes we fight over money, especially right now because we are trying to save money for our vacation in may.

My problem is sex.......or lack of it. Before we got married is was great but afterwards, I was lucky if I got it once a week. I have a high sex drive while his low and he even told me this(but I still love him just the same). There have been times where i initiated it and he just pushed my hands away. ARRRRGH!!!!! I'm so damn frustrated!!!!! Hell, I find myself eating more to make up for the sex I'm not getting(it's alright tho, I need to put on some weight anyway).

I would say sometimes communication and disagreements. I have learned to give him his quiet and alone time so he does not feel stifled and i also love to go shopping with him at sales and things as this cuts down on buying things that he does not want me to buy right then or have... He spoils me rotten though but i dont want him hurt or going broke to do so.... I love to spoil him rotten too.... To be honest we really dont have alot of what you call problems in our marriage. We dont fight and argue. We have a great marriage and I am very thankful for that... Marriage is what you make of it and so is love.

I went through an same concern too. I gave up my social existence for the same reason. the version is my husband would not has evening with the adult men or absolutely everyone in any respect.he in basic terms needs to stay at living house. if i have been in ur position,i make some acquaintances and bypass out with them. that is ur probability to get lower back ur social existence lower back. he can't tell u no coz he get to hitch the adult men and u can't? i'm nonetheless interior the rut. u are luckier than me.. haha

the thing we used to fight about the most is our kids from a previous marriage thats been a big issue to me,my husband doesn't raise his voice or fight with me its mostly me getting angry...discipline issues and we have a daughter together and i feel like if he doesn't have alot of time for our daughter then the world shouldn't stop when his daughter visits and now it doesn't thats the biggest issue here

As a guy.. I wish my partner would occasionally indulge my sexual fantasy (her with another guy)- causing me frustration
On the other hand, she tells me:
1. I dont take her contribution to our relationship (as in opinions on what to do) seriously- causing her frustration
2. I pay bills late- causing her frustration

Communication is our #1 problem followed by trust.
