Count till 10

Don’t try to win
That’s the biggest mistake you can ever make. It’s not about winning at the end; it shouldn’t be since in the argument with your partner or loved one is not about winning or losing. Even if you are really confident about something and you really believe in your point of view and its correctness do not try to impose it and don’t ruminate about winning.
It’s not a competition and, trust me, once you win the argument; it is not going to be that important later on. Winning in an argument with your partner is a major slip-up, you win the argument but you hurt your love and yourself in the process.

This physical touch will remind you both that you two love each other and your love is stronger than this disagreement. This will also help you two to get into bigger fights and hurting each other’s sentiments.
