Step 1
Take an interpersonal communications course!When I was in college, I took a course called interpersonal communications. I thought the course was going to be a joke because I thought everyone knew how to communicate. In this course, I learned how to empathize and be able to talk to anyone! Not only was this course really good for making friends and having a relationship, but it also helped me to secure a job that I love! Take a college course on interpersonal communications and you will be surprised at how it helps you to not get into arguments with people!

Step 2
Counseling is always a step in the right direction!Before anything serious happens in your relationship, seek counseling for your relationship. Basic communication and listening skills are what help individuals to get along and get through tough struggles together. Counseling is never bad for a relationship, but will make it stronger...especially if the relationship is going to get serious.

Step 3
Don't let it reach the level of putting each other down. Walk away!If an argument begins to escalate to the point that people's voices are rising...it is time to stop the conversation. It is okay for both people involved to realize that the conversation is escalating and walk away until both individuals have calmed down. Maybe this is easy for one member to do, but not the other. But, ask yourself whether anything ever gets solved from yelling? Walking away can ensure that arguments don't reach a level where you're just putting each other down.

Step 4
Find a mate that is soft spoken and not argumentative. If you end up with someone that likes to debate every single issue, chances are they are going to be very confrontational when arguments begin. You will have a hard time getting a word in edge-wise. Find someone that will always be willing to listen.
