The survey was carried out by Esure Manchester-based insurance company in the UK. The spokesperson of the company said, “The fact of the matter is that bickering on a daily basis is all part of being in a normal, healthy relationship. Unfortunately, our research suggests couples are actually rowing up to seven times a day and, although it can be about the smallest things, this does seem quite a lot. But the normal co-habiting couple will have to put up with each other's daily annoyances - even if things such as housework, what to have for dinner, cleanliness and the television can prove to be very irritating.”
