I've got a few years under my belt, and I figure I'd share a couple tips and tricks to help the next guy along.
1. Through the stream of daily jibber jabber you are bound to get a few moments where you are ignoring the words that your lady is sharing. If you find yourself stuck by her questioning face after not listening to her last 5 minutes of conversation, do this simple trick. Repeat the last three words she said to you in the form of an aknowledgment.
Example:
Her- "blah blah blah.. Did you feed the dog?"
You- "Yeah..Feed the dog."
Her- "blah blah blah.. and then she said she is such a bitch!"
You- "Mhhmm, such a bitch."
2. Resist the urge to yell at your wife when you are really mad.. Go with the ubsurdly childish to get your anger out, but also to reduce the tension.
Her- "I am really sick of you leaving your crap all over the house!"
You- "Your the crap leaver!"
Her- "God, your an asshole!"
You- "I WANT TO YELL TOO!!..BUT I DON'T have a good reason cus' I am WRONG!"
3. If she hangs up on you.. Call right back and say her finger must have slipped. When she hangs up on you again, call back and get the answering machine, and say "If you really didnt want to hear my voice you would have unplugged the answering machine!".
