Hello i recently got married and my husband has pointed out that i argue with him a lot. I've noticed it too. Whenever he says something or points something out i always have to argue with him and tell him he's wrong. Like for example today he was telling me about a certain breed of dogs and their behavior and immediately without even thinking i started arguing saying thats not true. I've never been like that before. Also i tend to pick fights and get mad easier. Does anybody know why this is and how to fix it? I'm doing my best but i still pick fights and i dont want it to ruin my marriage :(
Thanks!

I do realize that you said you weren't even thinking, but try to think about things before you say it.
When you disagree with him say, "really?" as in explain more, so that i can see why you think that.
Also, let him know that you are going to try and work on this--so that he knows that you are trying and can't get mad if you do pick arguments, because you are trying to change.
Ask him to help point out when you do it. It will help you to understand why. Maybe, its because you are in a bad mood, the topic, or the situation.
Do something like, whenever you do it you have to give your husband a massage. Or something to motivate you to stop, but make him okay with you picking fights. Does that make sence?
