Does bringing up past issues hurt a marriage?

Avoid Gunnysacking

Gunnysacking is a term for storing past grievances and bringing them up everytime you try to resolve the problem at hand. Gunnysacking often raises additional problems and keeps couples from dealing with the current issues. Bringing up past issues will create an environment in which neither spouse will want to resolve any problem because they will fear bringing up the past.
