如何在爭吵時不傷害感情

Keep fights short

不要吵太久

"Don't drag out fights.

"不要拖延你們的爭吵。

If a couple has a fight, some time apart could be necessary for everyone to calm down and think more rationally.

如果情侶之間吵架了，有時候分開對于每個人來說都是必要的，可以冷靜下來、更理智的思考。

But, a refusal to make up, especially as punishment, can create bigger problems in the long-term. By drawing out apologies and delaying the start of communication, it also prolongs the negative feelings, especially if one person wants to make up.

但長遠看來，拒絕和好會造成更大的問題，尤其是將其視作懲罰時情況更是如此。

Communicating and ending an argument in a relatively short amount of time is preferable, especially before both partners go to sleep."

延長道歉和溝通的時間會使負面情緒相應延長，當一方想要和好時更是如此。"
