Мы стараемся не спорить друг с другом ради спокойствия в доме.

Стараемся is the 1st person plural present tense form of стараться, meaning to try / to make an effort.

So:

• я стараюсь — I try
• мы стараемся — we try

In this sentence, мы стараемся means we try or we make an effort.

Also, стараться is followed by an infinitive, so стараемся не спорить = we try not to argue.

Because the idea is to try not to do something.

• спорить = to argue
• не спорить = not to argue

So:

• Мы стараемся спорить would mean We try to argue, which is not the intended meaning.
• Мы стараемся не спорить means We try not to argue.

In Russian, не is placed directly before the infinitive it negates.

Спорить means to argue, to dispute, or to have an argument.

It is an imperfective verb, which makes sense here because the sentence talks about a general habit or ongoing effort, not one single completed argument.

Common patterns:

• спорить с кем-то — to argue with someone
• спорить о чём-то — to argue about something
• спорить из-за чего-то — to argue because of / over something

In this sentence, instead of с кем-то, we get the expression друг с другом, which means with each other.

Russian often expresses each other with the phrase друг друга and its case forms.

The basic dictionary form is often given as друг друга, but it changes depending on the preposition or the role in the sentence.

Here we have:

• спорить с кем? — to argue with whom?
• After с, we need the appropriate case form
• So Russian says друг с другом = with each other

This is a very common reciprocal expression.

Some related forms:

• Мы видим друг друга — We see each other
• Мы говорим друг с другом — We talk to each other
• Мы думаем друг о друге — We think about each other

So друг с другом is not random; it is the correct case form after с.

This is just how the reciprocal expression works in Russian.

The pattern is:

• друг + preposition + case form of друг

So with с:

• друг с другом

This expression functions as a unit meaning each other.

You do not translate it literally word-for-word as friend with friend. In modern usage, it is simply a grammatical way to express reciprocity.

Ради means for the sake of, for, or in the interests of.

So:

• ради спокойствия = for the sake of peace/calm

It often introduces a goal, benefit, or reason why someone does something.

Examples:

• ради детей — for the sake of the children
• ради шутки — as a joke / for fun
• ради мира — for the sake of peace

In your sentence, ради спокойствия в доме explains the purpose: they avoid arguing for the sake of peace in the home.

Because ради requires the genitive case.

The noun is:

• спокойствие — calm, peace, tranquility

After ради, it changes to the genitive:

• ради спокойствия

This is a very useful pattern to remember:

• ради + genitive

Examples:

• ради семьи — for the sake of the family
• ради успеха — for the sake of success
• ради спокойствия — for the sake of peace/calm

Спокойствие means calm, peace, tranquility, or quietness, depending on context.

In this sentence, it refers to a peaceful atmosphere in the home. So English might translate it as:

• peace
• calm
• harmony

All of these fit the general idea.

Both can relate to home/at home, but they are not always interchangeable.

Here, в доме literally means in the house / in the home and emphasizes the home as a place or household environment.

• в доме uses the preposition в
  • prepositional case
• дом becomes доме

So:

• в доме = in the house / in the home

By contrast, дома often means at home as an adverb:

• Я дома — I am at home

In this sentence, ради спокойствия в доме sounds natural because it refers to peace within the household.

Доме is the prepositional singular form of дом.

The preposition в often takes the prepositional case when it means in or inside a place.

So:

• дом — house, home
• в доме — in the house / in the home

Compare:

• в доме — in the house
• в городe — in the city
• в комнате — in the room

Yes. Russian word order is more flexible than English word order, though different orders can slightly change emphasis.

The neutral version is:

• Мы стараемся не спорить друг с другом ради спокойствия в доме.

But you could also hear:

• Ради спокойствия в доме мы стараемся не спорить друг с другом.

This puts more emphasis on the purpose: For the sake of peace at home, we try not to argue with each other.

Russian word order often helps highlight what is most important rather than strictly marking grammatical roles.

Спорить is imperfective because the sentence describes a general repeated behavior or ongoing effort:

• We try not to argue (in general).

That is exactly the kind of context where imperfective is natural.

A perfective verb would suggest a single completed event, which would not fit as well here. The sentence is about a continuing policy or habit, not one particular argument.

It is natural and understandable, but slightly on the thoughtful or careful side in tone.

It does not sound overly formal, but it is a bit more deliberate than very casual speech. In everyday conversation, people might also say things like:

• чтобы дома был покой
• чтобы дома было спокойно
• чтобы не было ссор дома

But ради спокойствия в доме is still completely normal and idiomatic.

Yes, but the meaning would shift a little.

• спорить = to argue, dispute, debate
• ссориться = to quarrel, have a falling-out, be in conflict

So:

• не спорить друг с другом = not to argue with each other
• не ссориться друг с другом = not to quarrel with each other

Ссориться usually sounds more emotional and more strongly negative. Спорить can sometimes even be mild, depending on context.

No, not in normal English. You should translate it as each other or one another, depending on style.

So:

• Мы спорим друг с другом = We argue with each other

A literal translation like friend with friend would be misleading. In this construction, друг...другом is just a reciprocal grammatical expression.
