Turning Towards During Conflict

People are building an emotional bank account in the relationship so that during conflict, if they've turned toward a lot, they have a shared sense of humor. To be able to laugh at yourself when you disagree with one another is a huge asset. So buckle down and keep turning towards as much as you can. It's also okay to say, I'm sorry, honey. I just am feeling a little bit tired right now, a little overwhelmed, a little distracted.
