There comes a point in a heated conversation when the best way to respond is to walk away.

Nobody makes good decisions when they’re angry. Take a break—even if the other person doesn’t want to. Go for a walk. Take a few deep breaths. Talk to the Lord and a few trusted friends about the best way forward.

A well-timed break can keep a conversation from breaking down.
