Chill out:
Take a moment to catch your breath and step back from the situation. Not necessarily take a break from it but to just calm down. It is easy for things to get over-heated. Take a moment to catch your breath and give it a moment to cool off. When you were young you were probably told to count to 10 when you got angry so that you could give yourself a chance to get yourself under control.
The same principle applies here. Before you do anything else, take a breath. The next time something is said to you that makes you mad, calm down, get a hold of yourself and then let go of your anger. Only then can you truly learn how to communicate and take the next step to help save marriage.
Understand what is happening:
While you are taking a breather, try to see things from someone elses perspective. It may not be as bad as you think.
Look at it from another perspective and your mates opinion on things. You might find out why things were blown out of proportion. Perhaps there is an uncomplicated answer to your marital problems.
Laugh at yourselves:
A light hearted approach is better than letting your issues affect you. You might realize that what you were worrying about might not be that big of a deal.
How amusing is it to worry about something so insignificant when in fact the solution can be really simple at times. When people go through difficult times they say, Sometimes I wish we can look back at this and laugh!
Look for ways to improve:
Try to see things from another standpoint and keep moving forward. Understand that the challenges that you have are most of the time unimportant and you can easily take control of the situation.
Change you attitude to improve yourself. If it was your fault those things spun out of control and you overreact every time then do something to stop it. Your approach in handling situations should be better this time to help you with fixing your problems.
Work as a team all the time to help save your marriage.
