My book "Everybody Wins" by Gary Chapman has a lot of ideas in dealing with our relationships with each other. When I argue with my girlfriend I do look at it as a battle and keeping score. I will say I won that one. In reality nothing gets resolved that way. This is hard to do. Instead of yelling right back at her, I try to listen to her points and keep the noise level down where it is not as loud. I now try to make a disagreement sound like a conversation and not a verbal fight. She is my best friend as well, we get along well. We don't always see eye to eye but using the tools in this book, we are able to workout our problems in a much more civalized fashion.
