Is mutual respect necessary even when spouses disagree?

Yes. Disagreement does not remove the obligation to behave with dignity and fairness.

What Islam teaches

Islam commands justice and good conduct. A spouse should not use disagreement as an excuse for insults, humiliation or unjust treatment.

What you can consider

Discuss the issue rather than attacking the person. If emotions become overwhelming, pause the discussion and return to it later or involve a suitable mediator.

Qur'an 4:19; Qur'an 16:90.
