Behind the scenes of "fighting" in marriage

I came across a thought-provoking blurb today:

Arguing about money is rarely about money. It is about power.

Arguing about sex is rarely about sex. It is about intimacy.

Arguing about the kids is rarely about the kids. It is about control.

Arguing about chores is rarely about chores. It is about fairness.

Arguing about jealousy is rarely about fidelity. It is about maturity.

Arguing about work is rarely about work. It is about time.

Arguing about relatives is rarely about them. It is about expectations.
