Here's the thing. My parents have been married happily for 25 years.
My older brother and my older sister have already moved out. I'm about to move out to get married and live my own life.
My parents are constantly fighting about little things. They're both very hard headed. They fight about littl things and then won't talk to eachother for at least a day and after they gt over it they start fighting again.
I know it's suppose to be none of my business but i love my parents. I don't want them to get so mad at eachother that they want to get a divorce.
What can i do to help them settle down again?
What can i do to help them not to fight?
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Stop worrying about it.
My parents fight like cats and dogs but never hold a grudge. If this is how your parents are its no issue. My parents together 35 years this year. Sounds like your parents spat then cool off then start again exactly like mine.

How long have they been fighting? My parents fought over little stuff for as long as I can remember; it was just part of their relationship. When they recognized that it did make the rest of us uncomfortable, they toned it down a bit, but it never stopped. On the other side of the coin, if anyone ever (stupidly) said something negative about one of them to the other one, they'd defend each other to the nth degree.
When my father died, they'd been married for almost fifty years.

don´t worry , I think if they had wanted to divorce they would have done that a long time ago, 25 years together is a long time, just because they fighting and shouting dose´t mean they don´t love each other . On the other had if they are beating each other up every minute then you could worry , they will sort it out .

LOL at "married happily" and then "constantly fighting"
Which is it hon? Are they happy or constantly fighting? Perhaps both? This is the way your parents are, they actually like it, so keep your nose out of their business and move out!

"I know it's supposed to be none of my business..."
Your parents have to work out their own issues and it's not appropriate for you to get involved. If you and your future husband start having issues, do you want your parents unsolicited advice or input? Of course not. You should also consider that your parents might be happier single than with each other.
Stay out of it.

My husband and I do that all the time. But we always make up in the end. Maybe with all of the kids gone, they won't bicker so much. That is mostly what we fuss about.

After 25 years they are pretty set in their ways. They can either go to marriage counseling or just deal with their fights.
Take care,

the best thing for you to do is to just gather all of you strength and sit them down and tell them that all of their fighting is hurting you , just let them know how you fell. Believe me parents aren't mind readers and they don't what you don't tell them

maybe that is their way of loving each other, to fight and them make up,tell them how you feel about their fighting maybe it will make a different.
