2. Never go to sleep angry.

3. Spend quality time together.
Take a relaxing walk around, have a drink together, go for a weekend drive to a cafe or restaurant, disconnect from the internet, laugh, relax, and have fun together.

    • @stephen vien, it would make it worse if you just literally walk away and stay silent…. You walk away or stay silent if you know your emotions really high, like when youre hurt, or angry, it can be difficult to stay rational when your emotions are getting the best of you. So it would be better to stay silent or walk away UNTIL YOUVE CALMED YOURSELF DOWN then go back, talk about the issue and reslove it. Its always
      easier to see things from eachothers perspective this way.
