  According to relationship psychotherapist Paula Hall, the top five things that couples argue about are (and roughly in this order):
  ...
  According to Hall, "Arguing about how often to have sex is nearly always about feeling loved and cared for and deeper needs for connection and affection."
  ...
  "Most rows start because of differences of opinion, but with patience and basic communication skills you should be able to negotiate a compromise," said Hall.
  ...
  When it comes to raising a family together, the most important thing you can do to preserve your relationship, says Hall, is talk.
  
  "Talk, talk, talk and more talk.It can be difficult to keep lines of communication open when you're both busy and exhausted, but it's the most important thing you can do to prevent minor issues becoming major problems," says Hall.
  ...
  Housework can become a distraction from the main issue," says Hall.
  
  Further adding to the potential conflict is that everyone has different opinions about what a "clean" home should be.If one partner is a "neat freak" and the other is more laid back, it can lead to a constant struggle.Hall recommends the following tips for avoiding housework-related arguments:

  Paula Hall, sex and relationships therapist with Relate and founder of therelationshipspecialists.com, agrees: "A sexless marriage is fine as long as both people are happy with it.Unfortunately, this is rare."

  Throwing in the towel, says Hall, "is a high-risk strategy.
  ...
  "Some couples slip into a 'brother-sister' relationship," says Hall."Psychologists call this 'enmeshment' - you love each other dearly, but just no longer see each other as sexual beings."
  
  Others encounter technical hurdles."Sex is a high-conflict area and some couples simply decide it's safer to call it quits."Physical problems such as impotence or pain during intercourse can lead to a permanent bedroom amnesty, as can emotional conflict."Sex is not just about release or relief," says Hall."It's about intimacy."
  
  This perhaps explains why sexless marriages are just as commonly initiated by men as women and can happen to anyone regardless of age.Hall sees as many celibate couples in their twenties and thirties as she does in their forties and fifties.
  ...
  "If you have not had sex for six months and there is no good reason for this, such as surgery or a new baby, then your alarm bells should be ringing," says Hall.
  
  "It takes courage to say 'This isn't good' but it gets harder and harder to initiate a discussion."Before you know it, you are adopting elaborate avoidance strategies: going to bed at different times, signing up for the night shift or sleeping in separate beds.
  
  Often there is an underlying cause, such as a painful past, or unresolved conflict, and therapy can be hugely helpful.But if one person does not want to want sex, even therapy may fail.In this case, says Hall, "you have to reach agreements.
  ...
  Reignite your sensuality: "Get in touch with your own skin again," says Hall.Try silky lingerie or bath oils.
