They may be at odds as to who is the fun one and who sends the kids for a timeout. Compromise is key in these situations, according to experts.

Dividing the chores is one way around this often contentious issue and saying thank you every once in a while to a spouse goes a long way. Other areas that might cause some angst are opposing viewpoints like one partner being more conservative, while the other has a more liberal viewpoint. Sometimes it’s best to agree to disagree and leave it at that, though one spouse appreciating the status quo while the other thrives on adventure can also take its toll, so compromise once again is key here.
