"The number one thing I recommend is being intentional with setting time aside to reconnect," Mawad wrote via email. "Even if it is 30 minutes in the evening, or 15 minutes in the morning."
"I like to say: 'Know when to \"co\" and when to \"go\"' - when to coregulate [or emotionally support one another], and to know when to go regulate [or soothe] yourself," Ibrahim explained. "Too often in relationships one partner wants the other to constantly co-regulate them... so know when each other can be there to co-regulate and work through issues, and know when you need to regulate yourself. Usually asking your partner, 'Do you have the bandwidth to discuss an issue I'm having?'"
