Sex and Money are the top to things most couples fight about. What is wrong with the idea of increasing what you can so you fight less? In this case it would be sex, so why not just have more sex and fight less? Isn't fighting less a go thing?

That would make perfect sense, BUT, some people use sex as a tool. If they know they can control whether their partners get it or not, it can then be used as a weapon in attempts to control certain behaviors of the spouse. Have you ever noticed that some people ALWAYS want the opposite of what their partners want? There's a reason for that. :)

If only it was that simple. Sex and money may be the main reasons given, but it has been my experience as far as sex goes, that lack of sex is a symptom of something else. you would have to fix the underlying cause of the no sex to get more sex. For most women, sex isn't just a physical release, but an emotional confirmation too. If they are feeling neglected emotionally in their marriage, they aren't going to be feeling like having sex so much.
As far as money. To fight about money is pointless. Unless one of you has the ability to make more and isn't, then I think you should just work with what you have and deal with it. I know anyone can hit hard times, but it doesn't do much good to fight about it. You are a team, you should work like a team and get through it together,not blame each other for your problems.

Some people and couples thrive on fighting. Even if you increase the sex they would still find things to argue over.

Why not have less sex? If the fights start because one person wants more, and the other wants less - then it can go both ways.

With all of the energy that is put into fighting, one would think that a great night of sex could of been had instead.

Of course...sounds so simple. Why wasn't this solution thought of before.
And no, I'm not making fun. It's quite brilliant. Great sex balances out less money.

I try more sex, but we don't fight about that. Ours is housework. I feel like the SAHM that puts 40 hours in at the office.

Okay, see your point but you said two things, I have a thought...... On the sex, more is always a good thing, but if you leave money before and after sex. She will get more money and you will get more sex....

cos most people that fight about sex are fighting because:
1) the wife lost her libido
2) the husband lasts less than 5 minutes
3) he doesn't find her sexually attractive
4) she doesn't find him sexually attractive
5) he's cheating
6) she's cheating
7) same old stuff

No snack daddy, money, in-laws, and child-rearing are the top three things couples argue about.
