This way they will know right away that it isn't anything they have done and that you just need to vent!

Wow, I need to remember that!!!

We had a preacher friend tell us that the way he and his wife have survived fights is when they see one coming on one of them will ask "Is the roof on fire?" and the other replies "No cause there's a burn ban." Kinda cheesy, but it brings them back to earth and calms them down.

I do that and so does my fiance. We'll get heated or passionate about something, get really mean to each other and apologize 10 minutes later and we make up which is always fun I think that happens a lot when you're hungry, thinking about other things or have a lot on your place. I've just learned to thnk about what I'm going to say before it comes shooting out of my mouth and starts world war 3...lol
