Don't tell your spouse you are angry, but tell them you are sad

When couples are arguing, it's often easy to see that a partner is angry - but seeing beyond that could be the key to a good relationship.
Being able to see the sadness CAUSING the anger can be key to reconciliation - and can even strengthen relationships.
