When I found myself in this position, I just asked David if he'd like a hug. This way, I could calm us both down and stand a slight chance of him listening to me.

Thank you for this reminder. I don't hug her as often as I should, and when I do, it makes us both feel better. Loving gestures do have power to help heal conflicts and frustration, but we can forget that.
