Things You Should Know

- She may also be yelling if she hasn’t learned any other ways to communicate with you.
- To get your wife to stop yelling, spend 5 to 10 minutes apart, then come back and talk through the issue.
- If you are in an abusive relationship, call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline at 800-799-7233.
