Save Your Marriage With Stress Management

By Darci Alishouse


Nobody begins their marriage intending to get divorced and yet that is the fate of more than half of marriages today. Why? When something begins with such promise and ends in turmoil we naturally want to know what happened. Was it money struggles, pressures of parenthood or simply growing apart. Could all of these issues be symptoms of a bigger problem, stress and could learning proper stress management save your marriage?

Honeymooners are great. They're all starry eyed and lost in the wonder of each other. We love to watch movies and write poetry about being in love. We like to think of love as staying that way forever, a delightful paradise that never transforms.

Relationships do change. Relationship problems arise and they aren't usually caused by some catastrophic event but more of a slow grinding away of the giddiness. The daily pressures of life, the stress of work and kids wears away at even the best of us and can cause major marriage problems.

What happens to us when we endure these daily stresses that diminish our joy? When we become stressed out and depressed we tend to lash our at whoever is nearest which, usually, is our significant other. We are human and we like to blame and if we're not careful we will blame the one we love the most for all of our unhappiness.

Handling your daily pressures differently could be the answer to saving your marriage. Taking some time to incorporate stress management and bringing your stress levels down can lower your negative reactions to your spouse and bring your relationship into a better place.

Stress management is a rather general term. One of the most important things you can do to handle stress is admit that you have stress and that it is effecting you. If you can do that you can then start exercising, use stress reducing supplements or many other things to lower your stress levels.

Making stress management a priority can literally save your marriage. Imagine living with less pressure, less anxiety, less moments when you're ready to explode. It's healthier, more serene and not only you will be happier but your husband or wife will be happier too.
