Simple tips on how to keep arguments under control: No name-calling, no foul language, no raised voices. Give direct eye contact and do nothing else while your spouse is talking. Don't throw items. Don't slam doors. Listen and don't interrupt. Repeat what the person has said. Use as many of the same words as possible. Sympathize. Let the other person know you understand that they are feeling bad, even if they are blaming you for the problem. Don't ignore the person. Ask, "Is there anything more you want to tell me?" Give your partner a chance to discover deeper feelings, and to shift to a calmer, more neutral place. Do not argue while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. If you find yourself getting carried away, call a time-out. Stop right there and agree to talk later.	Upcoming contests: (Visa gift cards, Nintendo Wii and more)
