Take a deep breath

Sometimes in the midst of an argument, we let ourselves go in the tension and anger of it all. When confronted with an issue, remember to take a deep breath and calm down for a moment. Remind yourself that the argument with your loved-one has nothing to do with 'who wins' or 'who loses' the fight, but rather trying to find a solution for the conflict in a calm manner. Relationships and arguments are never competitions and no relationships are ever perfect. Everything takes time to form and shape itself when attempting to understand the needs and wants of the other person.

Admit your mistakes 

Never be afraid to admit a mistake! We are all human beings and it's perfectly fine to realize and acknowledge that you might be at fault-- Analyze the situation, admit your wrongs, let your pride go, be courageous and apologize to the other person.

Lower your voice

Nobody ever likes being screamed at or feeling attacked! When attempting to resolve an issue, always clearly communicate with your partner in a calm tone and still keeping a boundary of respect.

Be direct

Don't allow any hard feelings to build up, and express everything you feel with honesty and clarity! Always be direct when expressing what bothered you, or what you might have done wrong when in the midst of the argument. Never hold any negative thoughts back that could damage the relationship later on in its path!

Accept an apology and move on 

If your partner was the one at fault and has apologized, accept it and move on. Do not remind him or her of the problems that were in the past if it does not edify the relationship.

Relationships are supposed to be about growth, and not bringing the other person down. You both are on the same team together, and problems are not meant to break the relationship apart, but rather, allow an opportunity for one another to overcome obstacles and understand each other!
