This article talked about the differences in gender, was it men or women experiencing more conflict?  You would think it was women immediately because women are supposed to take care of the kids and hold the family together.  So what happens now that they are taking "a more active role in the workplace?"  Husbands are needed to step up to the plate and split the role of parenting.  Which in turn causes them to have increased conflict.  This can in turn effect motivation, turnover, and income for the family if one parent leaves their job.  They also stated that cell phones and e-mail make it so people can constantly be contacted.  What happened to personal time?
Let me know what you think of the article!

What do you think businesses can do to stay away from causing conflict at home?  Those of you who work, do you think your manager should be able to contact you 24/7?
