A new survey has revealed that married couple can have fewer arguments if they are prepared to stay together for another five years after a decade of marriage.

The study published in the Social Science Research Journal approached 2,000 women, who accepted that ladies usually get entangled in their homely duties, work and child care with the effect of which they did not get time for each other and which led to miss communication, the Daily Express reported.

Dr Spencer James, who conducted the study at Brigham Young University said that the conflicts increased over the first decade of marriage, due to unresolved issues and issues recurred before the couple either resolve them, but once they were done with a decade of togetherness they can excel in their relationship.
