Congratulations on planning your big day and having a nice honeymoon. Now what happens? Now you will learn to live together and settle into a life of constant companionship. It’s a warm and loving time. But it can also be a trying time as you learn to live together. Here are: 5 tips for less arguing in your marriage.
1. Even if you have to be right, you are going to be wrong some of the time. You need to accept that we are not perfect human beings and acknowledge when you know that your spouse is correct. It will make for a better life to let them win sometimes.
2. Cool down. Sometimes when you are so upset you shouldn’t be talking to each other. You may need a cooling off period so that you can talk about it like the mature adults you are. After you have cooled down then calmly discuss it together.
3. Make it a rule to not raise your voice. Shouting does nothing but escalate a bad situation and make it worse. Use a calm soothing tone so that things stay on an even keel.
4. Never, ever respond in anger with physical violence. PERIOD.
5. Be the bigger person and say I’m sorry and I Love You.
I’m not asking you to be a door mat. I’m asking you to do the right thing by your marriage. After being married 19 years I’ve learned a thing or two about arguing. Our children see us disagree. Calmly talking like adults. It will set a tone for your marriage and what your children can expect in their marriage.
