How do you handle situation when you husband is in temper?

Normally I would look at him without saying a single word , after he is done ranting , I would walk off and wait for him to cool down and come talk to me again . If two persons were to lose temper together , arguments are sure to occur and nasty words will sure be heard and scar the relationship . He may have realised he shouldn't have lost his temper in the first place if we didn't go head to head on . In a relationship , there must be some give and take
