All couples argue sometimes. We my argue over big things such as rearing the kids or something small such as what channel to watch on television. However your home shouldn't be a constant battle field. Healthy communication will help you two to grow closer as a couple.
Stand your ground --- Don't be afraid to voice your opinions.
What you think is as equally as important as what he is thinking.
Don't raise your voice
You can get your point across simply by letting him know what you are thinking or how you feel about the subject of the argument.
Don't say anything you might regret.
He may not forgive you for it.
Don't put your inlaws in the middle of the argument.
They don't know enough about what is going on. Your situation may not be the same as theirs.
Try to understand his point of view.
He may not have been raised with the same beliefs as yourself and you both may have different backgrounds. We don't all think alike. But we do have to try and understand each other.
Don't argue in the bedroom.
You may end up in bed without having resolved any issues.
Don't bring up any secrets that your mate has revealed to you.
You are no longer a close confidant. It will also erode real intimacy.
Apologize if you are wrong.
It is a sign of maturity and he may apologize as well.
If he is wrong, demand an apology.
He will respect you for it.
Try to come up with a resolution before walking away.
You will both feel better about the future of the relationship. Also you may be less inclined to do something you might regret.
