8 ways to handle tension after an argument.

#4 Make a physical show of affection

Sometimes, we sit in silence after an argument because we’ve simply had enough of using words. Don’t forget the old saying: actions speak louder than words. Show your partner that all is forgotten by displaying a gesture of affection.

Even if one of you are still clenching teeth, introducing intimacy will instantly break the tension and allow both of you to heal after the argument. There is a reason why “make up sex” exists! Intimacy allows you to express your love, and afterwards, everything is forgotten.
