How to argue without fighting

Arguments in the marriage are inevitable. Infact a healthy and fair argument can cement the bond between husband and wife. But one has to be careful not to escalate it to a point where it becomes a cause for the fallout in the marriage.

The first and foremost thing to keep in mind is "to think before you speak". It's true when you are in an argument, words just pop out of your mouth and most of the time you end up saying nasty things to each other, which can be extremely hurtful. So refrain from speaking ill to each other. If you can't take a grip on yourself during a heated situation take a time-out. This will cool off the anger and you can have the meaningful talks later.

Stay respectful to eachother.Being disrespectful, name-calling and hurling insults can cause irreversible damages. Also listen to what your partner has to say with calm and composure. Sometimes listening to others viewpoint can clear lots of misunderstanding.

Never bring the past in your present day issues. Not only it will waver you from the issue at hand, but also will further escalate the arguments. In the similar fashion, never put off the issue for tomorrow or hold it in your heart, resolve it immediately

Other things to keep in mind are:
Do not involve your friends and family in your arguments
Do not imitate each other speech or body movements during arguments
Never fight in front of your children.
Last but not the least kiss and make up.
