Adopt the 24 hour rule. If it was not important 24+ hours ago then it should not be brought back up. This prevents Dave and I from bringing up "old" issues when we are arguing or discussing something and allows us to focus on the subect at hand.
Also, when arguing or discussing a topic, NEVER say, "You always" or "You never"...nothing good can come out of these little words.
Always remember that usually the only reason people yell at each other is because they feel as though the other person is not listening.
Seems to work for us but what the heck...we've only been married 1-1/2 years!
