As for not finishing the argument, I and several other married men agree that an argument, once started, must conclude on the same day -- at least at some understanding, if not at a final agreement. No matter how late in the day the argument starts. Going to bed mad is not an option; one or both people will actually not sleep, and will have all night to stew and make things worse.
I once lived with this woman who often would wait until bedtime to bring up whatever was bothering her. There was nothing for it but to pry my eyes open and carry on.
