T,

I really like the "hook" one. I am really good at this list, providing that I know a discussion is coming and mentally can prepare for it. Where I struggle is when something comes up that pushes my buttons, my heart rate climbs, and the list is out the window. I have been carrying a print out from Fireproof Your Marriage website that is a one pager with similar pointers on it, but need to use it when my back is really up against the wall, not just for planned discussions.

Great stuff T.
