Reading this thread triggers some profound memories for me. When my parents argued, I recall that mom was them so irritated by her small children that she would do things to them that would probably shock most people. This memory prompted me to do a little research on marital arguments ans their effect on children.
An interesting study presented by doctoral candidate Leavitt on marital quality and the effects on children tests three hypotheses. The questions are if marital arguments have an effect math scores, reading scores, or behavior.
His data suggests that there is not a strong connection between parental harmony and their children's academic performance. The data did, however, support the idea that parental harmony may influence the children's behavior.
