Almost 44 and almost 16 years married.
Practical gifts like appliances can kill two birds with one stone - knocks off a birthday / Christmas present and saves you from paying for it down the road as a replacement cost.
Ok, somewhat kidding, what has worked for me may not work for you.
Serious advice - try not to go to bed upset with each other - wherever possible, deal with the issue that day. Now that doesn't work for my wife, she has said she needs a night to cool down and be more rational, so I've taken that to heart and I try to discuss it the following day. Key is not to let the issue linger though, if you do, your internal lawyer will start building a case to support you and your actions and then it becomes a much bigger issue than it ever was.
