One of the most significant causes of an anger filled relationship is the ego that I am right and the other person is wrong .The more the ego ,the more the anger. Very often people who are very moody in the family or at the workplace and are always shouting at other people and seeing them as incorrect are the ones who are very egoistic. Also , a very common and negative shade of anger is sarcasm- to comment sarcastically on people's actions and to always think that what I think and do is the best and only right .On the other hand ,the one who sacrifices his or her ego will be very sweet and merciful in interactions, even if the other person has genuinely committed some mistakes .To see others as innocent and not to be over-Critical, a very simple practice is to see at least one specialty in every person we meet everyday. This type of positive vision makes us free from anger . 

Life is full of many different types of negative  situations and twists and turns, which keep us unsettled and stressed at times . Stress is primarily caused by too many whys, what's, when's and how's, which are questions in our minds. The more the mind is full of questions and unsolved problems ,the more the mind will react in the form of toxic words and actions. Problems will always exist but our attachment to them and impatience in waiting for them to get solved at the right time and in the right manner leads to anger .Anger in many cases is just a form of bottled up stress, which bursts open from time to time . Meditation and positive thinking are some 

Common techniques to resolve stress of the mind . Freedom from anger follows freedom from stress.
