If your relationship is anything like mine, you have your ups and downs. Right now (while I'm writing this), me and my boyfriend are talking through our problems. We can multitask while we talk through our problems because we are always trying to work on our relationship while still working on the house or while doing our jobs. If you keep up with trying to work on your relationship no matter what you are doing, or how mad you are at your spouse, you will most likely have a successful relationship.
(My boyfriend made a joke about me being lazy)
I called him mean and now I'm a little upset with him because we told each other we would calm down on calling each other names. We do have a good enough relationship to where we can call each other names and laugh about it afterwards. He knows when to stop calling me names and I know when to stop.
Get to know your partner WELL.
