Sometimes It's Better To Go To Bed Angry

By Mark Gungor

Sometimes conflict is better solved after a good night's rest; it's not always a bad idea to sleep on it.

Often, during the middle of a very intense argument, it is better to chill out for a while and come back to it. After all, how many times in the heat of the battle have words flown out of your mouth in anger that you didn't really mean? How often have you ended up regretting what you said?

Now that doesn't mean that you have to shelve the issue and never come back to it, as people are often apt to do. You have to come back to the problem when both people are calmer and can actually deal with it.

If you constantly keep putting it on the shelf, never resolving any of the issues, eventually the shelf will break, and you have a serious disaster.
