Two quotes from you, out of order, but put together, back to back, for some interesting context.
Quote:
Last night, I layed down with my son and I was just praying/thinking about providing the kids with a peaceful, blessed home. Were things don't get thrown, and mom and dad don't yell. What it takes to get there. Mom and dad growing up, or mom and dad divorcing?? I still don't know.

It takes two, to have an argument. You control you. You have the power, to bring peace to your home.
Lets look at your argument. "it" didnt escalate... One of the two of you escalated it. Who started escalating things?
It's important to truthfully identify who did. YOU have power to change things, either way.
If it is you that escalated, then you have the power to work on yourself, to "not go there" in the future.
If it is him that escalated, then you have the power to look at what happened, and how he potentially "pushed your buttons"... then decide, "That button doenst work any more. The next time he tries to push that button, I'm going to do/say [...] instead..."
