What to Say After the Argument

You've had a fight...now how do you make up?

Arguments are inevitable in any marriage, but there are ways to ease the hurt feelings and move on. Here are some suggestions to getting back on the right track to a happy relationship:

Be honest with each other about what would make you happy. For him, it might be some quiet time by himself, for her it could be going to see a movie of her choice.

Try to understand what caused the argument in the first place. Rather than place blame on a person, blame the action. Each person can write down ways they might personally prevent things from blowing up in the future.

Allow for the fact that everyone makes mistakes and says things they may regret later. Sometimes it's just easiest to forgive and forget.

Cuddling with each other in front of the fireplace with a bottle of wine will relax you and help mend the hurt.

Communication is key in any strong marriage. Share both the good and bad with each other and you'll build a strong marriage that gets through the tough times.
