Abstract: The conflicts between parents can have a significant impact on their children, both emotionally and behaviourally. Children who witness their parent conflicts often face difficulties in their personal development and struggle to achieve success in life. The structure of the family plays a crucial role in a child's overall development, and intense conflicts can lead to divorce, separation, or even parents living together despite ongoing conflicts. In contrast, an ideal nuclear family living in harmony provides a more conducive environment for children's growth. When there is disruption in the relationship between husband and wife, it can have adverse effects on their children's psychological well-being. This can significantly impact their emotional growth and development. The negative impact on children manifests in various ways, such as feelings of sadness, confusion, fear of abandonment, guilt, misunderstanding, anger, loyalty conflicts, distress, and suffering. The children raised in two-parent households tend to be more successful. This is likely because two-parent households are generally more financially stable and can provide better support for their children. Additionally, the financially sound parents are more likely to raise successful children compared to single parents.
