How Do We Stop Arguing?

My spouse and I love each other but sometimes I can’t even stand him. He argues with me and sometimes he doesn’t have common sense. I will admit that I am at fault too but I try not to make mistakes. I resent him and I ignore him for many hours and he comes back to me and hugs me and everything and says he loves me but it’s not good enough. Our issues that we need to work on together as a couple remain unresolved. I even tell him that I resent him sometimes but he doesn’t do anything about it. How do we stop arguing at each other? What kind of techniques do I do?
I know you will say go to marriage counseling but we can’t afford it, just want to hear your opinions. Constructive advice only please! Thanks!
we argue about many things, too many to list on here. It is too exhausting and I’m tired.
Most of the time we argue over his actions, instead of him. For example, he doesn’t listen to me when I’m talking to him, that’s just one of the many reasons.
When we are arguing in front of our child, I stop and say “We’ll talk about this later.” and he said “Well I don’t want to talk to you right now”. I know it’s unhealthy fighting in front of kids, that’s why I wait till our kid is in another room, so I could go talk to my spouse and spouse will say some smart alleck comment saying “Well I don’t want to resolve anything with you.” This makes me mad!
Thank you for all of your opinions. I will take that into consideration, but I need more opinions!
