My Mars has fallen in my b/f's 4th house...
We never lived together though. he has the Mars natal 4th house and is an agressive person anyways. I've read that it generally works out better if it is the man's mars falling into the woman's 4th...It is generally not the best place for Mars.
From my personal experience.. I wouldn't have ever lived with that guy...regardless of where Mars was lol...total jerk....
But I never felt agressive towards him... just the opposite actually....

But anyway, here is an interesting blurb on the 4th house... of of Stephen Forrest's site:

"The Fourth House is one of the most basic—and most neglected—parts of the synastry puzzle. Most of us learn in our first astrology class that it’s the “House of the Home.” We then use it to speak of our physical dwelling places, our families of origin, and our interior psychological worlds. All that is valid, but let’s not leave out the notion that the pot of gold at the end of love’s rainbow is a stable, happy bond—a sense of “home,” created, proven, maintained, and trusted, with a beloved partner. That’s a Fourth House reality. Planets there in your own chart indicate your needs and possibly your baggage in that department. If, for example, you have Venus in the Fourth House, then the kind of home that will work for you is one permeated by a peaceful, aesthetic Venusian spirit. That puts some constraints on how satisfied you’ll be living with someone who’s got Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini, square Mars, and five planets jumping for thermonuclear joy in Sagittarius!
If someone transposes a lot of their own planets into your Fourth House, he or she is likely to fill you with deep, comfortable feelings of “family.” There’s just an inexplicable “familiarity” there. Mutual Fourth House transpositions are common between people who go the distance with each other, and that bedrock astrological fact seems to have disappeared from the more generic synastry textbooks. Probably it’s a casualty of our pan-cultural loss of those precious psychological crown jewels—our Fourth House sense of community, kinship, and absolute commitment to each other.
One more comment: of all the relationship Houses, I’d say the Fourth is probably the most “adult.” I say that because it relates to the stage of relationship where it would be appropriate to consider bringing new life into the world. In a society where “adult” has come to mean “visible genitals,” we’ve got some collective healing to do in that department. I like to think of astrologers as leading rather than following in that great enterprise.
One final comment: a critical link in the synastry chain is the composite chart. There are a variety of ways of calculating them. The one that works best for me is based on the midpoints of the planets: halfway between my Sun and your Sun is our composite Sun, and so on. I like to use the latitude of the place where the relationship started, rather than the current residence of the couple. I’m also very open to the idea of just taking the midpoints of all the House cusps, which is another popular technique.
Composite charts are a big subject, and probably rate a separate article. Basically you interpret them in exactly the same manner as you would interpret a natal chart, except you remember that you are discussing the care and feeding of the relationship as a whole. Sometimes two introverts come together and begin throwing loud parties; sometimes two extroverts come together and move to a cabin in Alaska. These are not laws of the universe, only possibilities within the universe. The Composite chart gets at all that, helping us understand what kinds of shared experiences help keep the couple vital and alive—and that might be different from what they need as individuals."

And I guess if your SO had his/her mars in your second house he'd be violent towards you financially. Likely he'd rob you.

Have I made my point yet? I think these kind of superficial interpretations are completely silly.

And since when is the cause of domestic violence the home? Get real, I think violence against a spouse/SO would be more likely to be shown by the 7th house than the 4th, but most likely it would be impossible to cookbook interpret from a chart.

Mars is our basic drive and lust, it's what we do when we want, how we go for it. Certainly that can lead to competition and battle, but that does not mean it will be against are SOs wherever it falls in our charts. Mars may have been the God of War, but even soldiers can be friends and comrades on the same side, not just enemies.

Summing it up, I would say Mars in the fourth is more about action, striving, and fulfilling potential. It's awesome to watch young people come into their own and grown into amazing young adults.
