No one wants conflict in their marriage. We’re all searching for stability in our relationships. But that can be a hard ask. We’re all overworked, made more prickly by mounting bills and the stress of raising kids. This means we’re all bound to bark at one another, to have interactions that end with rolled eyes or icy stares. None of this is news. Every interaction in a relationship can’t — and shouldn’t be — positive. Disagreements and arguments are necessary. However, there is a big component that leads to a happy marriage, a magic formula of sorts that you can employ to keep the relationship more properly balanced. Known as the 5:1 ratio, it holds the key to a stronger relationship.
