The Manglik person rarely has friends and shares bitter relations with siblings, relatives, and others.

First House- There is a lot of aggression and passion in the person. They always remain in a hurry and make decisions without giving any thought. From here, it also aspects the 7th house, thus causing problems in married life.
Fourth House- It is the house of domestic happiness, and a malefic is not desirable for domestic peace here.
Seventh House- This is a house of marriage and the presence of Mars gives ego issues along with too much quarrels and arguments. The native may also have abusive tongue causing problems in married life.

Should a Manglik person marry a Manglik person only?
There is a classical perception that a Manglik person should marry a Manglik person only. This is not absolutely correct.
First, there is no clear definition of Manglik Dosha, and even celebrity astrologers err in identifying if the person really has Mangal Dosha. The Manglik effects have to be seen from the Lagna, Moon, and Venus as well. A good marriage astrologer may identify the intensity and applicability of the Manglik Dosha in its true sense. In my experience, 50% of the people said to be having Mangal Dosha may not be Manglik at all.
Secondly, even if you are identified as a Manglik person. Then also, there is a very high possibility that the traits of Mangal Dosha in one horoscope get cancelled or counterbalanced by the other horoscope. The other person may not be Manglik but can have some specific planetary combinations to nullify the Manglik effects of one horoscope. With two people having traits of a Mangal Dosha, the Manglik Dosha gets canceled.
So, it is not mandatory that the Manglik person needs to marry a Manglik person only. However, you need an accomplished astrologer to review all these factors in both horoscopes.
