How you ask, by waiting until I was no longer angry and then I would talk to him. Sometimes he'd get defensive and I'd ask him to think about it for a later discussion. While discussing anything with all the anger gone, you both tend to keep an open mind. A little humor goes a long way too.

Just remember, if you must argue, always argue naked!

Mom to dad "I don't know why you aren't listening to me"
Dad to mom "Wow, your breasts look great"
Mom to dad "you think so, you're looking pretty hot to"
Mom and dad 'make up'
Child coming to see what the ruckus is "Daddy, why is your privacy touching mom's privacy?"
mom "daddy and I were just 'wrestling' "
Yeah, that would pretty funny to explain, better start saving for psych visits for the kiddos
