How To Behave When Arguing With Your Partner

1. Stay determined. It all starts with determination and desire to stop relationships from breaking up. You need to have the will and want to make the improvement. This will be the driving force that will push you to strive and do better amidst the ups and downs along the process of relationship improvement.

2. Listen to your partner. There are times when it seems that you are listening to your partner but in reality, you are not. This is a very big problem common among couples. How will you be able to communicate back with him when you do not even know what your partner is talking about because you are not listening? When your partner is talking, listen and listen intently. Do not interrupt him or her, and reflect on what your partner is saying.

3. Put yourself in your partner's shoes. Most of the time, individuals tend to want to be heard and understood. They want their points of view to be heard and seen and understood by their partners. When you do this, you are not letting your partner speak out what he or she thinks and feels. And by this, you lose the chance of knowing the right words to say to your partner, since conversations are only focused on yourself. It would be best to try and be in your partner's shoes so you would be able to appreciate his or her point of view.

4. Admit that you were wrong. It is very difficult to admit that you have made a mistake. In a relationship, it is of utmost importance to be aware that you are fallible and are bound to make mistakes. When these things happen, know you are at fault and learn to admit it. During these situations, there is nothing more effective than the words "I am sorry." It may not do so much in the beginning but you will see its effect in the long run, especially when delivered sincerely.

Arguably almost all the ladies are guilty of all these points: They talk anyhow not minding whether the talk may end up breaking the relationship or not; they would never listen to you, rather they will want you to listen to them; They will never try to understand your point of view, therefore, they feel for themselves and will never put themselves in your shoe; and above all, They believe that they are always right (that is arrogant I think), and therefore, they will never apologise even when they are wrong!

To avoid an argument before they start and to live long, learn to say 'Yes Dear'
