A piece of advice all couples seem to hear, especially when they're about to get married, is "never go to bed angry with one another."
Well, some experts agree that that is just terrible advice nobody should follow.
Kathy Nickerson, a licensed clinical psychologist and relationship expert, told AskMen that in theory, "it would be nice to wrap up a difficult conversation, have a hug, and then go to sleep peacefully, but if this isn’t possible, the worst thing you can do is keep pushing for a resolution and continue fighting all night until you both collapse in exhaustion."
Why force yourselves to stay awake and solve an issue that will leave you feeling restless and tired in the morning when after a good night's sleep, cooler heads might prevail and you might be able to solve your issues with a rational, clear viewpoint?
And then, Miles in the Morning received a call from Kevin, a school guidance counselor, who offered his take on the situation, which led to a conversation about how to handle the current events of the world regarding your children.
Do you talk with your kids at all about what's going on with Russian and Ukraine, because it's a situation that could very well lead to war. How do you handle the prospect of talking about this with your young children?
