If our house isn’t blessed yet could this be the cause of conflicts in our marriage or at least be contributing to it?

Wow, that’s quite a question!
Marital conflict can come from many, many different sources:
Stress
Physical issues (illness, sensory intregation issues)
Selfishness
Culture
Family Culture Clashes
Geographic issues
environmental issues (molds, allergies, etc.)
Childhood issues
Parental issues
My wife and I had a whole host of issues to work through soon after we were married and only about 1% of it was what I would classify as “spiritual”.
I would very strongly recommend against blaming marital problems on a spiritual source until after you saw a counselor for a good, long time. And reduced other stresses on the marriage.
For example: Do y’all work different shifts?
Is one person sensitive to sounds and the other not?
Is one person like a certain form of entertainment and the other not? (My wife hates football - I love it)
Are allergens an issue (allergic to dust/mold/pets/plants in the house)?
Once these questions are dealt with, then move to a spiritual side. On the other hand, blessing a house is easy and free - just get your priest to do it. Just don’t expect that you and your spouse to magically start getting along.

I would say one is trying to blame a house blessing for some personal problems.
A house is not a home, the people make it a home.
I would without knowing alot about the family, that there are alot of other issues invloved in the problem. I would strongly suggest that you go to your Priest, or christian counciler for professional help
Normally the first and major issue in marriage is no proper communication, and not loving the other person as Christ loves the Church.

I hear what your saying and I agree. I’m just wondering if the foundation of all of those problems is a spirtitual attack. I went to see my priest last night to discuss the latest conflict in the marriage and after the discussion he suggested he come and bless the house, so I was just wondering if perhaps this could be a problem.
