Anyone in a loving relationship can probably list three to five irritating behaviors of his or her partner without skipping a beat. For example, she leaves coffee mugs all over the house, or he wears the same socks for days in a row. Grrr!

Research shows that such minor but annoying behaviors become more irksome over time in loving relationships (read more about the study here). And because they do get worse, they have the potential to drive a wedge between two people if not discussed openly.
