Effect of Marital Fights on Children
March 23, 2009
Every relationship has its ups and downs and its moments of sadness and happiness. You can not expect life to be a bed of roses. Thus, fights till a certain limit are normal and even healthy in any relationship. But when fights cross their limit and become an everyday affair, then something needs to be done to control them. This holds especially true in a marital relationship. You might fight with your partner on any issue- be it regarding money, profession, family, conflict of ideas or due to any personal problem , you need to ensure that you do not convert healthy fights into serious ones, especially in front of your children.
How many times have you noticed your child silently witnessing your fight from behind a door or a curtain? Have you ever wondered how harmful it can be for the psychological development of your child? You might be fighting in front of your kids but do you realize that your fight has serious effects on the emotional development of your child. Your fight puts him in an emotional turmoil as the child finds himself helpless and alienated.
Fights in a marital relationship not only affect the respective partners, but have far serious effects on their children in particular. Children of couples who are constantly engaged in a tiff are far unhappy, rebellious and disillusioned than their counterparts. Such children often display frequent changes in their behavior and often adopt various contrasting ways to escape or deal with their harsh relationship. They lose faith from the whole concept of love, faith and marriage. They might adopt the wrong paths of alcohol and drug abuse.
You might be busy fighting but just think for a second of that child who is a silent observer or sufferer of this entire marital tiff. Can you expect such a child to have faith in relationships? While some children just turn away into their self created recluse and internal shell, there are others who become rebellious and only abuse every relationship.
Thus, the next time you think of fighting, spare a thought for those innocent and sensitive children who are unnecessarily traumatized and shattered by marital tiffs and fights.
