This is Coupleco, The Argument Edition. What causes the two of you to argue vehemently—when you’re actually in agreement? What happens when an argument just makes you shut down?

We’ll hear about when walking away from an argument is not only OK, but absolutely necessary. And we will get to experience the phrase, “Hormonal cascades.”
