It is normal to have a disagreement now and then. No one will agree on everything 100% of the time. The key to getting past it is agreeing to disagree.
When you are upset, excuse yourself and walk away to be alone with your thoughts and God. Ask our Heavenly Father for guidance in the matter. Wait for the calmness to come. The answer to your prayer will be there waiting.
When you return to your spouse, calmly talk things out. If yelling or name calling occur, excuse yourself and once more retreat to the Lord in prayer. Our Heavenly Father will be there waiting for you. HE will see you through it all and never let you down.
Once you feel strong enough, return to your spouse and try to work it out once more. If things are still to heated, let him or her know that you love and care for him or her beyond anyone other than God, but you will not argue any longer. Also let your spouse know that things have to change or you will be left with no choice but to go stay with a friend or family member until things can be discussed rationally.
If you do leave, choose a friend or family member that believes in God. Don't tell the friend or family member any details, but let them know that you need prayers and understanding. Things that happen between a husband and wife should stay between husband and wife. If you need to talk to someone, talk it out with GOD. He is the only one to confide marital problems with that can actually make a difference. During this break from your spouse, don't do anything out of character that may cause a worse mess than just an argument. Read your Bible and pray for GOD to help see you BOTH back into each others loving embrace.
