I'll pass on your article comments to my better half. I'm not sure whether she uses the article in one of her classes. As for

to maintain a
healthy relationship, NEVER let a misunderstanding,
disagreement, or ill feelings go untended to.


I couldn't agree more. I have to be especially careful, because my tendency, when confronted with very unpleasant acrimony, is to walk away. Only late in life, did I learn this is a very Cherokee approach. I still think that "walking away" is usually a good idea when "the juices are flowing". The secretions of various glands, particularly those around the brain stem, simply preclude rational thought. They may have been vital in an earlier more primitive chemical based control system, but they are just incompatible with functioning pre-fontal lobes.

Luckily, the half-lives of most of these "juices" are brief, and apparently even briefer with a little exercise (walking). Upon returning, a more rational judgment can be made about when and how to address the stimulating problem. For if the problem isn't addressed, it will become a festering abscess - that can poison a relationship.

JMO, and what I've "gathered by coincidence".
