9 Ways to Control Anger in a Relationship
6. Count numbers
It is widely believed that counting numbers in your mind can actually bring down your seemingly out-of-control anger. Take a few moments and start counting from 1-10 in the descending order. This will definitely slow down your running temper.
7. Do not blame
Playing the blame game is often the consequence of uncontrolled ire. It is the most common obstacle in finding amicable solutions. Instead of placing the blame on the other’s shoulders, just say that you were hurt by his specific behavior. Express your anger in a respectful manner.

9. Meditate
This is a strongly recommended formula for controlling anger. The moment you realize you might explode with uncontrollable rage, just close your eyes, think of something abstract and train all your thoughts towards it. You can also concentrate on a single thought or action, like breathing.

Controlling your anger is not about winning or losing an argument. It’s more about maintaining and strengthening the bond between two persons by letting go. Realizing the problem within you is the first step in anger management. Taking stock of the situation and seeking help via counseling, classes and self help can change your personality for the better. The ground rule remains, ‘never give words to your anger, for when you are angry, your mouth works faster than your mind’.
