Couples typically have a sense that what happens OUT of the bedroom can affect what happens IN the bedroom. If you and your partner have been arguing all day and feel disconnected, it may not be the best night to connect physically. (Though, for many couples, that would be a powerful repair!).
What about the opposite?
