NOTE

**The Power of Taking Notes during a conflict with spouse. Gottman. **

Taking notes during a conflict with a spouse is beneficial in multiple ways. Firstly, it helps in keeping one's prefrontal cortex online, enabling a more logical and rational approach in a difficult situation. Secondly, it demonstrates active listening, showing that one is learning and engaging with the conversation. By staying in a cognitive and intellectual space rather than an emotional one, taking notes prevents emotional reactions and keeps individuals from getting overwhelmed. Moreover, jotting down points helps in preventing conflicts that arise from misremembering details, ensuring a more effective problem-solving approach. Overall, note-taking not only aids in understanding the partner's perspective but also helps in maintaining composure and enhancing the processing of information.
