Since day one, the relationship between Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher has been one of passion and compromise. What was once an element of balance has reportedly become a cause for conflict. Fisher, once a gritty NHL enforcer, has grown to be a traditional family man, while Underwood's career continues to soar, with commitments such as her Las Vegas residency and judging duties on "American Idol."

Given that Underwood commutes between Tennessee and Los Angeles frequently, Fisher has allegedly felt the increased responsibilities at home are a source of tension.These contrasts have always existed in their personalities: she's more of an introvert and plant-loving, whereas he tends to be extroverted and an advocate of meat and hunting. It is these contrasts that appear to be creating daily conflict, rather than harmony.

Underwood even admitted to being a homebody, while Fisher is said to have a craving for social interfaces. Although opposites attract, in a marriage, they often demand a constant compromise seems to be something the couple is having difficulty with.
