Saving Your Marriage With Simple Stress Management

By Darci Alishouse


How do over half of marriages today end in divorce when all of them started out promising to last forever? Why do we begin lives together with such hope only to watch it crumble and end in despair? There are challenges in life that all marriages face like financial issues, career demands and raising children. Could the stress of these challenges be the root cause of divorce and could learning stress management end up saving 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.

Nothing stays the same. Not the town we live in, our waist lines or the wedded bliss in which our marriage began. Life happens and it doesn't have to be big, terrible changes that cause relationship struggles. Often if there are normal, everyday stresses of money or kids or work, these can be enough to cause marriage problems.

After months and years of the daily grinding pressure we can be left empty and sad and because we're not perfect we turn our own dissatisfaction onto our spouse. Our unhappiness extends beyond ourselves and infects our relationships, especially with the one we love the most.

If the underlying issue in a rocky marriage is the subtle yet constant pressure of life then handling those pressures differently could save your marriage. Learning stress management at work and at home could help ease the outside negativity and keep it out of your relationship.

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.

If you can create a more stress free lifestyle you are achieving stress management. Letting go of the nasty feelings in a healthy way instead of on your husband or wife can save your marriage. It's also a much better way to live life, happy and in a loving relationship, it doesn't get much better than that.
