My husband works far away and our fights often happen over the phone. How do we manage this?

Distance makes communication harder, so it needs to be more deliberate, not left to rushed calls when you are tired. Set regular times to talk when you are both calm, not just calls to vent complaints. Avoid settling heavy issues by text message, which is easily misunderstood. If a fight happens, do not hang up in anger; say you need to calm down and will call back. Keep your hearts connected by sharing small daily things, not only problems. Thinking well of each other matters even more when you cannot see your spouse's face. Pray for each other every day so your hearts stay close. See communication & emotions.
