Couples Argue 'Four Times A Week'

A new study, carried out by Trade Furniture Company, has found that couples argue at least four times a week, and typically over trivial matters.

Such disagreements include washing the dishes or an increase in the bill for technology, such as a mobile phone or internet usage.

This was closely followed by couples arguing over what to watch on television, staying out late and not informing their other half, to who should cook dinner. Pets were also a source of disgruntlement, as couples debate who should take the dog for a walk, for example.

Managing Director of TradeFurnitureCompany.co.uk, Tony Clark, said: "Families have argued with each other since the dawn of time. All that's changed is what they argue about.

"This latest snapshot comes from our conversations with customers, and shows a trend toward modern technology causing fights and quarrels."

Mr Clark added that the increasing popularity of technology is causing a decline in communication between people.

"This is a trend reflected in repeated studies by social scientists and major media groups," he explained. "There are fewer and fewer occasions when families do things together on a regular basis, and even then that might be so-called 'event television' like The X Factor.

"For many families even the traditional evening meal is a fragmented experience with people eating in front of the television and rarely talking.

"No wonder people fall out with each other so readily."
