First of all, we are both extremely laid back people. Because of this, it is easy for us to brush things off and move on. Along with this comes realizing which situations are not worth the stress of arguing. If you can admit to yourself the small things, such as the fact you just mopped the floor and your other half decides to come stomping in with muddy work boots on is not worth the mood of an argument.
I'll share some great words of wisdom that came from my mother some time ago. She told me, "before you act on your frustration with someone or something, sleep on it {even if it's a nap} If you wake up still upset then discuss it." It's important to me to remember this. Not only in my marriage, but in life.
Another good point we make when it comes to our disagreements it to discuss the situations that need the attention. Never once has Zac raised his voice at me. {Yes he is a quiet guy, but he is very capable of raising his voice} I myself don't necessarily raise my voice but I do tend to get "that tone." When we sit down and talk it out we have found we come up with a solution a lot faster, and that awkward feeling lingering in the air isn't there.
Yes our marriage is very happy, but it's definitely not "perfect" just because we get along so well. We are just ordinary people who are lucky enough to have figured out early in the game what makes our relationship work {most of the time}.
