If there is no clear reason for the discord, it might be due to magic or similar causes. There are signs of a person afflicted by magic that one can refer to.
One should be diligent in performing (Islamic exorcism/healing), and it is best for a Muslim to perform it upon themselves. If they are unable, there is no harm in having one of the righteous people perform it.
Among what aids in treatment are: a person's steadfastness, performing obligatory duties, avoiding forbidden acts, maintaining remembrance of Allah (dhikr), frequently reciting the Qur'an, and making abundant supplications.
