 Non-adversarial conversation between Husband and Wife:

Wife: So you are late. Why did you come so late today? You told me to get ready at 8pm and
it is 11pm now, where were you for last three hours.

Husband: Sorry I suddenly had to go for a meeting. I had to attend that. To miss that
meeting will bear the loss of a big opportunity.

Wife: Do not make excuses. If you really had to go for a meeting then why you did not
inform me.

Husband: I called you up but your phone was unattended.

Wife: Oh what an excuse! I stayed at home the whole day and you are saying that my phone
was unattended. Could you please show me your phone.

Husband: Why do you want to see my phone?

Wife: I want to check either you called me or not.

Husband: You know what, you really don’t trust me.

Wife: No, actually I just want to check my phone if it has any problem, since you were not
able to call me, I want to test it using your phone.

Husband: Actually, in the morning after calling you up, I forgot to charge my phone, its
battery was empty the whole day. So you cannot use it. Trust me.

Wife: How can I trust you when you do not care for me. You did not even inform me about
your meeting and here I had been waiting for three hours getting ready.

Husband: No, of course I care for you a lot. There are just things that are beyond my control.
I will make you sure that we will go tomorrow and this thing will not happen again.

Wife: Okay I will forgive you this time and make sure not to do that again.

Husband: I promise, I love you. :D

 Comment/Advice:
As Max Lucas states, to quote:

“Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.”

Every dispute starts from a little problem.

Thus, to a problem before it became terrible, I would advise the couple to take their seats
first, give them each other a couple of minutes to rest, make themselves relax before starting
to talk about their conflicts.

And to prevent frequent quarrelling, and to be fair with each other, I would advise to keep
in mind that communication is very important, they must inform each other, at all means,
when there are sudden changes on what they had agreed upon. In case of committing an
inevitable mistake, explain it in the nicest way, the reasons why that happened despite
efforts had been already made to inform her.

Also, they must consider also the condition or nature of their respective work, if such really
requires sudden changes with its schedules.

In case of repeating the same mistake without any valid reason, a reasonable punishment
must be imposed, that will not prejudice their relationship, and its only purpose is to make
them realize that there is someone worrying and carrying about them.
