When the word "control" is used in a relationship, it usually involves areas of discipline or an agreement to commit to something. Although this word is used a measure of power, sometimes men and women forget that it simply means about the differences between the both of them.

Control issues usually arise when men and women cannot decide whether who is correct and who is not. The sad thing to say is that, these couples argue because of the minor issues. But, there really are no straightforward correct or incorrect answers to these issues.

One classic example will be shaving. Men and women view shaving differently. For example, men change their razor blades everyday while women change their razor blades only monthly. Furthermore, men blame the blade when they shave and cut themselves. But, when women cut themselves, they view it from a different perspective and blame themselves for the clumsy injury. Men tend to blame external factors for all situations while women take the blame on themselves.

There are many other instances. And men and women get into arguments when such friction is caused. Another example will be when the laundry is hung out to dry and the man exclaims, "Where did you hang my clothes?" while the woman says, "Where did I hang my clothes?"

This control issues causes a lot of unhappiness in the household as this sort of interaction can lead to "Why do you blame me for your problems?" questions and can escalate into a big argument when it is not handled by both parties adequately. Definitely, there are ways to solve these problems. You just need to dig deeper.
