I wonder what the result would be for couples if before an emotional argument, each went away and wrote about it all first. Would the relationship be better, or worse?
The result would have been better. Better yet, take a walk in the fresh air for half an hour separately from each other.
I am not sure if a walk is better in this example. There is something more impactful with putting thought into something concrete. A walk can help people think and calm down though.
