Errore comune:
Learners often confuse "martial" with "marital". "Martial" is about war or the military (martial law), while "marital" is about marriage (marital problems). Another mistake is using "martial" alone where "military" is more natural; in most everyday contexts, "military" is the safer choice.

It should not be used for everyday strong feelings that are not related to fighting or war.
