Don't try to push an idea in a way that costs you something.

When it comes to convincing others it helps to understand the other person. Nobody get's angry if you show genuine interest into how they think the world works. Listen a lot.

It might also help to reduce the amount of things that make her furious with you. If those wouldn't exist it might be easier to convince her on other questions.
