How do you get through tense moments with your partner ?

Celia: How do you get through tense moments in your relationship?
Amy: my husband gets a bit snappy
even though he’s the most laid back person.
when I hear him yelling at the kids
I know he's not coping
Celia: how do you handle that?
Amy: I might say
“how about I make you a cup of tea
and you head outside and take a moment”
communication is the biggest thing.
talk about ways we can help each other
what could we do tomorrow if this happens again?
give each other a hug
remind each other we're a team
and work out a plan together.
Celia: Remembering we're a team
and
finding ways to communicate with our partner
is really important.
