5 Steps That Will Help You Save Your Marriage During An Argument
When we are in an argument with someone we love, we are not always mindful of the things that we say. We often forget about the issue at hand. We get so caught up in the act of arguing, that we don’t even remember the point of the argument or how it even began. With every word, we take one step towards what seems to feel like a never-ending downward spiral of tears and yelling. A resolution is not reached and both parties often leave with damaged emotion. It is no fun, but what if there is a way to end this vicious cycle of conflict in your marriage? [rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"] YouTube phenomenon, Richard Williams, most recognized as Prince Ea might just have the answer! In a YouTube video, he shared five steps that would help make your marriage better in just thirty seconds. Here is the five-step, thirty-second hack that will help you and your spouse when you are in the heat of the moment.

Just force yourself to pay attention to only the present moment between the two of you. Take three deep breaths and calm down.
