      I am pretty good at not yelling. I get a whole lot better response when I am calm and firm. My wife does not care for a raised voice either. It works for us in our discussions.

      About the only time I really yell these days is at myself when I do something stupid like hurt myself, screw something up or break something. But it is always aimed at myself..

        This is how it works on the green screen too.

          I can't. When I'm mad everybody knows it. I'm a ginger so it's somewhat expected.

              I get loud quite often. Doesn't have to be a heated arguement either. I'm very opinionated, think I'm funny, usually think I'm right and can argue with a fence post.
              My wife also. As long as we both know that it doesn't mean death to each other, we can both calm down and talk at a better level.

              If I get pissey or argumentative or whatever and get my voice loud, just tell me. I'll tone it done and still tell you your wrong... lol

                If she heard me at work some times she'd know what raised voice is. I try not to do that but once or twice a year or so either.
                Dale are we the same person and married to the same woman? I am the exact same way.

                    It is better to yell. Make up sex to follow!

                      Been married 28 years. It took awhile but we did get to this point. We very, very seldom argue but if we do it pretty much just sounds like a normal conversation.

                        Definitely not easy. I'm a passionate person and it's hard to control my voice level at times. What has helped me more than anything else over the years is to pause before I speak. It usually calms me down and makes my retort more fluent and well thought out. Seems to keep me from giving passionate irrational responses.

                        My kids are older now and they crack me up with their perception of things when they were growing up. They both tell me that they are more intimidated by me when I give a calm answer then when I used to fly off the handle.

                            Yes. It's possible. But it's more fun to forgive and let things go by compromise.

                              Both my parents yelled, I used to do it a lot with my wife. Stopped yelling all together, I do slightly raise my voice out of bad habit when we argue but normally I dont even realize I'm doing it, she tells me and I quit. She on the other hand never raises hers...

                                I do not yell per say, but I do raise my voice. I wish I could control it more. I think stress levels has a lot to do with it. Some days I can do it but most days I have a short fuse and start raising my voice. My wife certainly doesn't like it
