And after they come up, how long to you spend feeling mad or upset about it?

Do you believe there is a better way, a completely different way to feel in those situations that normally drive you to vent, go off and lose your temper?

Every couple has their hot-button issues which can sometimes lead you to think your marriage is falling apart.

Almost every conversation leaves one or both of you feeling not so great about the exchange.

Even though I’m studying this area daily, I still have my moments of falling down.

And on Thursday of last week, I had one of those moments.
