It really depends on what they're arguing about. If they are arguing about little things and it's not hostile arguing, you have to realize it could just be how they talk. If there's no screaming involved, it's quite possible it's how they communicate. Every couple is different, but at least they know it's bad to bottle things up inside and both of them just say what they need to say. If it's more serious arguments, then their love could be running out, but don't jump to conclusions and don't focus on "what ifs" in life. Focus on the present time. Until something bad happens, don't worry about them splitting up. There's no point or reason for you to add more to your everyday stress. Just live life in the present and deal with things one day at a time :)

Sometimes arguing is good. Arguing is suitable for specific couples. I personally believe that couples that argue will last longer than those that don't. This is because whenever there's something they don't agree with they can talk it out and resolve it. While couples that don't argue have the thought that "I don't want to cause trouble" so they keep everything to themselves. Whenever there's something they don't like they will keep it to themselves rather than telling the other person so it can become solved. However, one day when both sides get close to their breaking point and something they don't like happens again, they will become triggered and will have a huge argument and end the whole relationship. Because to those people, it's not only that one incident that made them angry, it's everything added together. Therefore, I think arguing couples aren't necessarily a bad thing.

Parents tend to argue due to not seeing eye to eye, or not seeing the other's point of view. You can always let your parents know that the arguing is starting to affect you negatively.

It is quite normal for parents to fight. Especially if they have been together for a long time. Though it also depends on how often they fight.

Yes, everyone gets into an argument occasionally. Sometimes it can be healthy to argue every one and a while

Parents argue about different things. It can be about how to raise a child or about there economical finance, ect. It is normal for them to argue as long as it does not get too much out of control. When arguing becomes a daily bases then it may be slightly less normal. It depends what they are arguing about and how often

On some ages teens always fight with their parents. When you get older you'll see this is normal because your childs will do the exactly same thing to you too.

Hi there! It depends on how your parents relationship is going on. First of all I know what you're going through. I've come from a family whose parents were always arguing and end up divorced, starting wars that dragged me and my brother for a couple of years. But it's normal to have arguments in a relationship expecially if they are solved on a healthy way. What is not normal is to not try to atempt to fix the situation and just let it drag on and on. When that happens, parents usualy become under even more stress which just sets mood for even more arguings. That is something they have to fix as a relationship and something you must never blame yourself for. They surely love you and want the best for you. Yet sometimes that can be hard do demonstrate at some points, expecially if things aren't going well in our lives. Try to help your parents as much as you can and talk to them, making them feel good. It will set the mood to solve the problems and will most certanly calm the tensions back home. They are humans like us and they need our compassion and understanding as well as much as we need theirs. :)

No it's not normal and can be distressing. You can ask them to refrain from having arguments in your presence
