How to make up after an argument

Yesterday after being shouted at by my partner, we ended up having a row, which has left us both hurt, he won't look me in the eye and I fear this could be the end of the road for us, when he returns from work tonight I need to try to sort things out, I would really appreciate some advice.

Just be yourself, and try to clear the air with normal small talk - 'how was your day' etc. Show that you are open to productive discussion and chit chat, and gauge his position by how he is coming across, then adapt to that - if he is defensive, then try to meet in middle ground rather than being aggressive - you are trying to create a negotiation situation, and you want to be direct, but not confrontational.
