A Theoretical Analysis of Marital Disputes from a Sociological Perspective

Abstract

One of the main tasks of marriage life is to achieve security and psyche stability, and this will happen when both of spouses support each other in confronting the problems of life and supporting in filling their needs. Then, in their relationships, the harmony of marriage will be reflected for achieving their life goals. On the contrary, when they are incompatible, a negative feeling arises among spouses towards each other, perhaps they will act against each other and acting contrary to each other's desires and wishes. Eventually, conflicts between spouses arise and the problems become more complex to reach the level of argument, anger, quarrel and use of violence (psychologically, physically, and orally). In this undesirable situation, wise thinking and the ability to communicate healthily will be disabled, and the bad reaction of anger closes the door of dialogue and understanding. Although, the conflict between spouses is a natural and inevitable issue, even it is the mark of family life, but if spouses are unable to manage and organize it, it will lead the future of the family to a dangerous point till arriving the point of divorce. In which, spouses and children themselves are the victims of this conflict.
