Episode 2569:

Kerry Lusignan offers a compelling guide to one of the most underrated yet transformative relationship skills: taking breaks during conflict the right way. Discover how mastering the timing, purpose, and reconnection process after arguments can deepen intimacy, reduce harm, and build emotional resilience between partners.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gottman.com/blog/love-smarter-learning-take-break/

Quotes to ponder:

"Breaks give you time to calm down, deepen your perspective, and have a successful 'do-over' with your partner."

"Even if you are the one who initiated the space, it’s not uncommon to find yourself feeling abandoned and rejected, or hyper-vigilant and self-protected."

"Timeouts can’t last forever. They play a crucial role in helping you shift into a more centered and open place as a couple."
