I hate arguing with my wife. Even though we still have our moments, we have significantly reduced the number of those arguments. I am grateful that our arguments are much less intense and that we now recover quickly. But how did we get to the point we’re at now?
I had to make a decision. I had to stop blaming my wife for the arguments. I had to start working on my 50% of the problem. I had to start putting in action the things that I had been teaching my clients. I had to learn how to control my emotions and my behaviors. And when I changed – she changed. That really makes you wonder who had the problem then.
Because you are two different people you are going to argue. Why? Because you have different perspectives, different experiences, different tastes, different fears, different strengths, different weaknesses, etc. Rarely do people end up with a spouse that’s exactly like them in every way. So of course there are going to be some arguments, but there are ways to curb their intensity and destructiveness.
There are several secrets to stop arguing with your spouse and build a happy marriage.
Four Secrets to Stop Arguing
- Learn to respect your spouse’s differences. You must not only accept them for who they are but also appreciate their different perspective.
- Learn how to communicate your thoughts and feelings without disrespecting your spouse.
- Learn how to negotiate and reach a we-win outcome.
- Learn to control your emotions.
