It’s difficult to avoid stressful situations in our lives, but when we are under stress it’s how we react that matters. If you and your partner have different ways of dealing with stress it can have a significant impact on your relationship.
Jenise Harmon writing here works as a therapist and has a great deal of experience helping people who react in different ways to challenging situations. She says ‘How a couple manages stress can either break down or build up their relationship’.
She gives two great examples of real life couples which make interesting reading. Next she talks about the choices a couple have to make when faced with a stressful situation. Great suggestions and lots of ‘food for thought’.
